Rio Grande Inn Packages

 All Rio Grande Inn packages begin with room rates that are discounted 35% from our standard rate and include a full hot breakfast in our restaurant. Please call 1.800.959.4726 for current package rates.

Trolley Package

Experience the best of Albuquerque from a completely-custom, uniquely-Albuquerque, open-air trolley. Invest 66 minutes in the comprehensive "Best of ABQ" city tour. Tours start at Plaza Don Luis in Old Town; a short walk from the Best Western Rio Grande Inn. Climb aboard for your front-row seat to Old Town, Museum Row, Downtown, EDo, Historic Route 66, Central Avenue, University of New Mexico, Nob Hill, Isotopes Park, University Stadium, The Pit, historic Barelas neighborhood, National Hispanic Cultural Center, Rio Grande River, Tingley Beach, the Rio Grande BioPark and more. Package available April 01 - October 31. Trolley Package includes trolley tickets and a full hot breakfast.

Hot Air Balloon Package

The adventure begins when Rainbow Ryders picks you up at the Inn at sunrise. From there you will proceed to their launch site where the action begins. They will inflate the hot air balloons giving you the opportunity to become involved "hands on" as a crew member and help with the balloon inflation, or you may sit back, observe and take pictures as the gentle giant comes alive. At lift off you embark upon a journey of uniqueness. Enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande Valley while floating in the sky. After landing, enjoy a champagne toast to end your safe and memorable adventure. You will be presented with a flight certificate and balloon flight pin to commemorate your aeronautical experience. Hot Air Balloon Package includes balloon tickets and a full hot breakfast.

 Rail Runner Package

Sit back, relax and enjoy the “beep-beep” sound that signifies that the doors are closing on the Rail Runner Express. Eighty minutes later, the train pulls into the historic depot in Santa Fe. The Rail Runner terminates at the tiny Santa Fe depot in the historic Railyard District, popular for shopping and entertainment. One block away, galleries, boutiques, antiques stores, and restaurants line South Guadalupe Street. For the signature Santa Fe experience, head for the historic Santa Fe Plaza, the soul of the city. It’s an eight-block walk from the depot. If you don't want to hike, you can catch the Santa Fe Pick-Up (no Sunday service), a free shuttle bus that leaves from the north end of the tracks soon after each train arrives. The bus loops the historic district and stops a block from the famous plaza, as well as at Canyon Road with its art galleries. Return to Albuquerque in the afternoon and evening, so you have plenty of time to soak up the best of Santa Fe before you leave. Then relax and listen to the “beep-beep” as Rail Runner speeds you back to Albuquerque. Rail Runner Package includes rail runner tickets and a full hot breakfast.

Ghost Tour Package

Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 300 years of haunted history. Old Town was founded in 1706, and for more than three centuries people have lived and died around the Old Town Plaza. The historic buildings and dark alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries. Professional tour guides escort you on a 90-minute, lantern-lit adventure. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home.
