When you're traveling, you make it a point to do some touristy things, and for me, a guilty-pleasure touristy thing is doing a ghost tour that explores a place's potentially paranormal history. So doing an evening tour of Fells Point's haunted history felt like a no-brainer. And it proved to be a great time from start to finish. The first thing that I grew to appreciate was the professional service that I experienced long before I even started the tour. I had originally scheduled myself for a Wednesday night, but scoring a good deal on a concert ticket had me needing to make a change, and the people that I spoke with on the phone were super accommodating in doing so with ease. Long before the tour started, our guide proved to be super helpful and informative with the details that he texted about the tour. I wish our tour guide's name didn't escape me, because I loved how informative and in character he was, and also how personable and familiar he was with the staff at the places that we visited. Fell's Point is a super historical town that even has the founding family buried on the street that they lived on, and even has the last bar that Edgar Allen Poe visited before his death. It's the perfect location for a ghost tour, and we had the right person giving it. The dad jokes were on point, and I even got to hold an EKG meter outside one of the most haunted buildings in the area. Overall, whether you're a fan or believer of the paranormal, or someone just looking for an outside-the-box tour while traveling, this is a tour that I'd recommend! read more

This is just a wonderful way to spend an hour in Fells Point. If you believe in ghosts, you'll have fun. If you don't believe in ghosts, you'll have fun. Rob does a tremendous job regaling his visitors with tales of the more mysterious and sordid history of Fells Point, all while sprinkling in so many humorous lines that keep it all light and fun despite the "dark" history he describes. And if you're not too ambulatory or have been enjoying the countless bars in the area, don't fret, it's not a lot of walking at all. Really glad we spent such a delightful hour with this engaging, professional guide who has his great delivery down pat. Thanks for the fun hour, Rob! read more

Baltimore Ghost Tours - Tours Near Me

This is the ghost tour you want to go on if you're in Baltimore! Our tour guide, Leanna, said this was her 24th year of tours! This particular company is well established and has a long history in the area. My friends and I did the tour on a Saturday night as part of our annual girls trip (ghost tours are one of our favorite activities). Leanna was a fantastic tour guide and she kept us entertained, laughing, and had lots of great stories to share. I've been on some ghost tours that were more history focused with less actual ghost stories, but I found this one to be a nice balance. Leanna shared some key history of the Fells Point area as we visited some historic sites like the grave of William Fell and the location of the Fell homestead. She also had plenty of stories about the hauntings and even specific buildings that experience the most paranormal activity. She even had a few personal stories of her and her past tour groups own encounters. The tour lasted about an hour and a half and was a pretty easy walking loop around Fell's Point that starts and ends at the harbor. Our group really enjoyed it and all of us agreed was one of the best ghost tours we've been on. Would highly recommend both Baltimore Ghost Tours and Leanna if you're looking for a great spooky season (or really any season) activity in Fells Point! read more

This tour was so much fun! Our tour guide, Craig, was funny, entertaining, and very knowledgeable! All the pubs were fun and you get to learn a lot about Baltimore and its spooky history along the way. read more

I don't think I can express accurately how much I recommend Baltimore Ghost Tours, but I will do my best. My friends and I had an absolute nightmare of a travel day from Houston and ended up in Baltimore almost 24 hours after our expected arrival time. This put us getting to Fells Point after the start of our Haunted Pub Crawl tour. Melissa was amazing in helping to accommodate us; she was truly a light in an otherwise disastrous start to our vacation. Not only did she offer to push the start time back (we were the only one's booked on the tour at the time), she also figured out how long it would take us to get from a new airport to Fells AND booked us on a tour the following day just in case. We ended up arriving about 30 minutes late (thanks to MORE airplane troubles!), and additional people had booked the tour by then, but Melissa let us know the order of the tour so we could meet Craig, our tour guide, wherever he was when we got there. The customer service was a 10/10. Now, onto the actual tour. What a blast we had!! Craig was so kind and understanding to us late arrivals. He made us feel instantly welcome and like we had been there from the start. He is one of the best storytellers I've ever heard and such a pleasure to talk to. I learned so much and have a new appreciation for the history and people in Baltimore. Craig, if you end up seeing this, thank you for completely turning our whole day around. I truly cannot recommend Baltimore Ghost Tours enough. From the ease of initial booking, to the customer service, to the amazing time we had with Craig - everything was a 10/10!! read more

I was on the Mount Vernon ghost tour. It started at the Belvedere, which is home to the Owl Bar and the center of the Unsolved Mysteries case of the body found in a weird location. I learned a bit more about Baltimore history on the ghost tour, but unfortunately, I missed the blurb about 14 Read Street, which is haunted and for sale currently. It ended at the Engineer's Room, which is an amazing space and a great ghost story for those interested in learning more about the history of Mount Vernon in Baltimore. Other places to check out after the ghost tour would be the plaque at the 7/11 below the Washington Monument about the ouija board, the witch board museum in Hampden, and the Greenmount cemetery to spot Elijah Bond's grave. read more

I can't lie, I was a bit hesitant to go because of the existing reviews. They were so mixed. As a precaution, I booked in a way that I could get my money back if the tour was a no-show. I booked the Fells Point tour. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Our tour guide, Tim was great. He was very animated and inviting. We had a large tour group. Had to be about 25-30 people. The tour went by so fast. We got 3 stories in before it was 1 hour. Bonus point for the weather adding to the dramatics. It rain briefly by the grave we visited lol SPOOKY. The only criticism I had was the tour guides need mics. Fells Point is a loud place so they were competing with the music from several clubs. read more

My husband and I don't believe in ghosts but we wanted to do something other than just drink in a bar, so we signed up for the ghost tour on our last night in Baltimore. At $17 a person for an hour tour, it was a fun and affordable evening. The meeting spot was at Fell's Point Square, just outside of Max's Taphouse, which was convenient. We easily spotted the tour guide, Brandon, who was dressed as one would expect a guide on a ghost tour to be dressed (a bit eccentrically, in a black suit, possibly with a top hat -- I no longer recall if he actually was wearing a top hat or if I am making that up, but he seems like the kind of guy who would be wearing a top hat). There were about a dozen or so people on the tour, which was a good size. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it doesn't matter, because the tour is really about learning the history of the area, which my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed, and Brandon was very entertaining. If you like history and storytelling, I highly recommend Baltimore Ghost Tours. And you might just see a ghost! Addendum: this is my 666th review, which is a coincidence. Oooohhh, spooky... [Yelp collections: East Coast 2022; Baltimore, MD 2022] read more

This was so much fun! We did the haunted pub tour, so we enjoyed spooky stories along with 20 minutes in 3 pubs for drinks. Shiv was the guide, and she was the perfect combination of story teller and comedian. The entire experience was highly enjoyable. Each guide tells different tales, and I'm looking forward to the next tour. read more

Went on the Fells Point Ghost Tour on a September Friday night, which lasted about an hour, wrapping around the block from Lancaster & Broadway, down Shakespeare, Bond, Thames, and back to where we started. The entire tour was outside. My partner and I were joined by just two others, a father and pre-teen daughter. The tickets described the tour as "family-friendly," but tour guide Leanna included a fair bit about prostitutes, which is part of Fells Point history and I appreciated, but I don't think is appropriate to call "family-friendly." Leanna played the part of a ghost tour guide with dramatic story telling, "leave it to your imagination"s, and some "anyone know the difference between an apparition and a ghost" questions, complete with heavy black eyeliner. However, the stories felt like hearsay rather than based on researched history into the neighborhood, residences, and bars. The haunts weren't based on specific historical figures, so she would point at a street and say "they say you can see a man pacing here at certain hours of the night," which I can do down any poorly-lit alley - exceptions were discussing Poe at "The Horse You Came in On" saloon and the Fell Family at the Fell Family cemetery, which I had known going into it. I didn't feel like I learned any new history, which was disappointing. Admittedly, I am a non-ghost believer, so I was prepared to suspend some disbelief going into the tour, but the lackluster stories asked for too much of me. Being able to include historical tidbits in the ghost stories would have made them feel more real. What really put a bad taste in my mouth was when Leanna dismissed a man panhandling by swinging her umbrella at him and leaning towards the tour attendees conspiratorially to say something along the lines of "You know these drug-addicted schizophrenics. When you've been doing this as long as I have, you know how to handle them." I've lived in Baltimore for five years and have encountered my fair share of homeless folks and panhandlers and never have I thought to dismiss them with my umbrella like an animal nor call them a "drug-addicted schizophrenic." I found it unprofessional and cruel, and I was disturbed that she found it okay to do in front of customers. After the tour ended, we went to one of the bars that she pointed out, Duda's tavern, which was alright bar food. read more

We did the ghost pub walk with Craig as our guide and storyteller. The pacing was good between various outdoor locations where Craig told a story and stopping inside the pubs. Out tour went inside 2 pubs during the tour and a third at the end (Bertha's, The Horse, and Cat's Paw). The ghost stories were told in more of a historical context than a scary way. I enjoyed that approach. It never felt long, and we had a good time. Our tour group was maybe 15 people. Recommended. read more

My friends and I went on a ghost tour on a Friday night and had a great time! Due to COVID, they are not currently offering the pub crawl, but the tour itself was so much fun. I have lived in Baltimore my whole life and I learned so much about the history of the city and even discovered things in Fells that I had never noticed before! Our tour guide was both fun and a great story teller. I wouldn't call any of the stories particularly scary, but they were fascinating. I've gone on a few ghost tours in other cities and this was definitely one of the better ones I've experienced. I would go on this again when the pub crawl is offered. This would be a really fun activity for friends and families to enjoy, whether you're visiting Baltimore or are a native! read more

I organized two tours with this company, both a ghost and history tour of Fells Point. I went with about 20 people from my Meetup group that our host Tim took thorough Fells Point sharing all kinds of information about the neighborhood that made the evening both fun and entertaining! We would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a fun different evening out! read more

Baltimore Ghost Tours - Tours Near Me

If you want a fun night out and get some Baltimore history with a few beers, take a ghost tour with these guys. Strange thing though was we got a last minute email that they could not run the tour that might... But waiting in the park was Craig, dressed in full outfit and telling ghost story after ghost story. Stranger still we went back and asked the bartenders and they said Craig had died in the 1980s. Did a spirit just lead us around Fells Point???? read more

Craig was our guide for our tour. He was very knowledgeable and funny. The tour was really interesting and fun. I highly recommend!!

If you're visiting Baltimore, like ghosts, history, and/or drinking, then the Haunted PubWalk is for you! You get to learn a lot about Baltimore's history, tour a cool neighborhood (Fell's Point has been invaded by hipsters, but the gritty charm remains), hear some ghost stories, and grab a few drinks during the two-hour tour. But what really made our tour special was our guide, Leanna. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, she was also funny, charming, and put everyone (except our two "blockers" who eventually bailed!) in a good mood. Our little group (there were about 12 of us) really bonded in the short time we were together. I've done a few ghost tours in New Orleans and they were really good. But, thanks to Leanna (my fellow native Pittsburgher), this tour is my new favorite. I highly recommend it! read more

I went on the original Fell's Point ghost walk with my boyfriend, my dad and his girlfriend. I had a really good time and I can't wait to go back to do their haunted pub tour when it's just me and my boyfriend. I've been on several ghost tours including Frederick, Key West, St Augustine and Harper's Ferry. This one ranked pretty close to the top. It wasn't particularly scary. It was more of a history tour with some incidental ghost stories thrown in, but I learned more about Fell's Point than I ever thought imaginable in such a short time. The guide was surprisingly knowledgeable about local history and was able to answer some pretty random questions that were thrown at him about particular buildings and the area in general. We had a big group of 20+ people and I was able to hear him at all times over the general noise of Fell's Point (which you know is pretty amazing if you've ever been there on a Saturday night). read more

Total rip-off. They are quick to charge your credit card but they failed to show up for the tour. not even an email to notify you of a cancellation. Total unprofessional. read more

I did the Ghost tour (not the drinking one) on a Sunday night and there was a group of about 8 of us. Tim was our tour guide and I appreciated that he was on time and organized. We had never done a Ghost Tour before so we weren't sure what to expect but I thought this was a great way to start out our trip. Tim was knowledgeable about the area's history and was captivating when he told the stories. He seemed generally enthusiastic about what he was saying which then makes it more interesting. I never felt particularly scared, but that was fine by me. Apparently tips are expected - I would almost rather that they just charge a little more and don't ask for tips. I highly recommend this tour if it is your first time in the area. We were able to see a little bit of everything and then choose which places we'd want to actually go in on our own once the tour was done. read more

Went on the original ghost tour for a group bonding event and it was pretty fun. The ghost stories were interesting but not particularly scary. Most of us thought the historical aspect was the best part. Some of us had lived in Baltimore for a few years but never really understood or explored much of Fells Point. For the newcomers to the area, they were really intrigued by all the stories and excited to come back and explore Fells again. Our tour guide (Rob) was great -- very enthusiastic, funny, and friendly. I would definitely recommend it -- I learned more about Fells Point than I ever thought I would in an hour's time. read more

History, Pubs, Ghost Stories. We had a blast on the Mount Vernon Pub Ghost Tour. This was the perfect way to entertain our out of town guests for the evening and to learn more about our neighborhood. We are looking forward to exploring other neighborhoods with Baltimore Ghost Tours. read more

The pub tour would probably be fun. But the walking tour is kinda lame. I passed the time trying to scare people once it got dark. One guy jumped about 6 inches when I dropped a coin at his feet. read more

This was definitely a fun way to change up the norm of staying in or going to the same old bars all the time. We met outside of Max's, crossed into the square and gathered for our first round of ghost stories. Were they true??? Who knows! But they were fun! And Tim was great at telling them, being goofy and engaging. We went to four different bars, two of which I had been to, and two of which I had never heard of! So it was a good mix, I think. I'm glad I was able to try out a few places I probably wouldn't have if it had been up to me. Why the 3 stars? It could have been that it was 25 degrees that night but other than the initial story, all the other ones took about 30 seconds to 1 minute and then we rushed into the bars. So I felt like the $22 was a bit of an overcharge. If I'm paying for stories, I want more stories! But like I said, the temperature may have influenced that so I would still recommend it to someone looking for a fun couple of hours. read more

Craig was amazing!!! Great tour... Great history... Wonderful personalization of the stories. We got lucky and it was only the 4 of us, so it was super taylored to us and really personal. The bars we hit were very diverse: a hipster, and upscale, and a dive. Great recommendations for local drinks foods and sights. Definitely a must if in Baltimore!!! read more

I did the PubWalk and it was so fun. Our guide was entertaining although not over the top. I'm a history buff so I loved all the tidbits of info along the way. My partner in crime isn't as much and still enjoyed it. I'm sure the beer helped. read more

I had a fantastic time on my Bachelorette Ghost Walk Pub Crawl! We heard some good stories (...although not that scary...) and hit some great bars. read more

You get a nice dose of local history with a creepy edge to it by a great guide and a good amount of time to pause and relax with a drink at each stop. Our stops included Wharf Rat, Leadbetter's, Bertha's, and Horse You Rode in On (while you meet at Max's you don't actually go in). About 20 people in the group but it didn't feel like too much at all, and our guide managed to reach us all without a mic. Overall, loved it! read more

I can't say enough great things about the guides, and this tour! I have done both the Fells Point and Mt. Vernon Haunted Pub Crawls, and both were wonderful. This is a great activity to do with visiting friends or family, or if you're just looking for something to spice up an average evening. The guides provide a great mix of interesting and sometimes little-known local history with the fun of the supernatural. If you can fit this in to your itinerary- go! You won't be disappointed. read more

I've participated in a couple haunted tours...I thought this was the worst one I've ever been on. The information was interesting, not at all scary, and delivered very poorly. One of the stories from Bertha's bar was about a bar tender who went upstairs alone... "He saw a ghost and she started singing a song but they didn't know what the song was. And they were never able to figure out who the kid was because so many children here of yellow fever." Yep, that was literally it. And then we went into the bar. And it was like that four separate times. Just kinda of lame. I really felt like it could have been much more interesting and engaging but it was the story teller/tour guide (Annalise, and thankfully it was her last tour). I was shocked this ghost tour was rated as one of the must-dos in Baltimore after the first five minutes. read more

This was my first trip to Maryland, I went to visit my friend who has lived here for a few years so we were super excited to spend the weekend in Fells Point and take the Haunted Pub Tour! Let me start with the pros: Guide was on time, he dressed the part and he was organized. He did roll call and counted heads before we left for the tour and after we left the pubs. No pub crawler left behind! He clearly new the history of the area and the pubs. Now, the cons: I felt the history lessons weren't well balanced with the subject matter. We wanted to feel spooky but we never felt that way. Also, the guide mentioned several times that the group was essentially responsible for his buzz, which I understand would be his "gratuity" for lack of better term, but when my friend and I returned to our table at the first pub with our drinks and didnt bring one for him, we got a look... it was uncomfortable to say the least. We had heard another member of the crawl ask what he liked to drink and I knew the tour was only 2 hours so we clearly werent sitting at the bar too long. We had more to see and I am sure we could buy him a beer elsewhere. After a few minutes of asking where everyone was from from, we got a rundown of the guides resume. No ghost stories. Sigh. After that it was on to the next pub where we got a history lesson on cabbage patch kids and then a very, very short sidenote about the bartender who worked there who allegedly haunts the place and how much he hated them. At that point we were pretty bored and decided to excuse ourselves. The tour wasnt what we expected. Im sure others would enjoy it, it just wasnt spooky enough for us. read more

We love the Baltimore Ghost Tours. Fell's Point is gorgeous and so full of history. I've been on the tour a few times and hope to catch the Mount Vernon tour some time. Always entertaining!! read more

The tour was a lot of fun and a great way to learn about Baltimore's history. There is walking but breaks in between and all the pubs were great spots. I even got chills from one story, and took a picture that definitely had 'orbs' in it. Definitely worth the ticket! read more

Thank you again and I can wait to tell all my friends about this fun event in Fells Point! read more

My family and I went on the original Fells Point ghost tour. Our ages ranged from 75-24 and we all had a great time! Our tour guide was informative, funny, and very personable.
