We chose the Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour because it combined two of our favorite things: cocktails and ghost stories. It turned out to be the perfect way to learn about Santa Fe’s history while having a lot of fun.
Our guide, Victor, made the experience truly memorable. It ended up being just my husband and me, so we lucked out with a private tour. Victor’s storytelling was engaging, and the evening felt more like bar hopping with an old friend than a structured tour. He shared fascinating stories about each place we visited, adding a personal touch that made the experience special.
One highlight was the ghost story at La Posada, which was my favorite. All the stories, however, were engaging and came with a nice balance of history and haunts. We especially appreciated the mix—it wasn’t just spooky tales but also interesting historical facts about Santa Fe.
Each stop included a cocktail, so this tour is definitely not for the teetotaler! From the Secret Santa at As Above So Below Distillery to the specialty apricot margarita at The Staab House Bar, every drink was delicious and added to the charm of the experience.
Although the tour was scheduled for three hours, the pace felt relaxed and unhurried. We even lingered with Victor at the last stop, laughing and chatting like we’d made a new friend.
We learned a lot of new things too. While we were already familiar with landmarks like The Loretto Staircase and Julia Staab, hearing about Zozobra was unexpected and fascinating.
If you enjoy bar hopping and storytelling, this tour is a must! It’s a unique way to experience Santa Fe and its history.
