The Ghosts of Santa Fe Tour

Santa Fe has more than 400 years of stories to tell. And some of its oldest residents may still be around to tell them.

There's something special about Santa Fe after dark. The adobe buildings glow beneath the warm lights, the air grows cooler as the sun disappears behind the mountains, and the historic streets surrounding the Plaza begin to quiet down.

During the day, Santa Fe is filled with visitors exploring its art galleries, historic landmarks, shops, and restaurants.

But when evening arrives, it's easy to imagine the city as it was centuries ago.

And perhaps a few of the people who once called it home.

Welcome to The Ghosts of Santa Fe Tour, Ghost City Tours' family-friendly walking ghost tour through the haunted history of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Santa Fe is unlike almost any other city in America. Long before Spanish settlers established the colonial capital in 1610, Pueblo communities had lived in the surrounding region for generations. Over the centuries, the city became a center of government, trade, cultural exchange, and conflict, shaped by Indigenous peoples, Spanish colonists, Mexican rule, and American expansion.

The historic Plaza has witnessed more than four centuries of change. The Palace of the Governors, first constructed in 1610, remains a reminder of the city's extraordinary past.

And around those familiar landmarks are stories that don't always appear in history books.

Some of them involve ghosts.

On The Ghosts of Santa Fe Tour, you'll discover the fascinating people, unusual events, and mysterious legends associated with this historic Southwestern city. Your guide will share stories of unexplained encounters, reported apparitions, and the local folklore that has become part of Santa Fe's haunted reputation.

You'll learn about the people who shaped the city, the events that changed their lives, and the stories that have survived long after those people were gone.

Some accounts are grounded in documented history. Others have been passed down through generations, leaving plenty of room for mystery.

We'll let you decide what you believe.

A little spooky? Of course. But the best ghost stories don't need to terrify anyone to be memorable.

The Ghosts of Santa Fe Tour is designed for families, curious kids, and adults who enjoy fascinating history with a supernatural twist. Our Ambassadors focus on entertaining storytelling, memorable historical characters, and just enough mystery to make the evening interesting.

There are no cheap jump scares, costumed monsters, or attempts to frighten young children. Instead, you'll discover that the history behind real places can be every bit as fascinating as their ghost stories.

Whether you're visiting Santa Fe for the first time or have lived in New Mexico for years, this tour offers a different way to experience the City Different.

You don't need to believe in ghosts to enjoy the evening.

But as you walk past centuries-old adobe walls and quiet courtyards, you might find yourself wondering how many people have walked these same streets before you.

And whether a few of them are still walking here tonight.
