Step into the shadows of historic Fells Point on the Baltimore Ghost Tour, where the city’s haunted past is tied to the harbor that built it. Led by an engaging Ghost City Tours guide, this tour takes guests through one of Baltimore’s oldest waterfront neighborhoods, a place once filled with sailors, shipbuilders, dockworkers, taverns, boarding houses, and travelers from around the world.

You’ll also hear how it began as farmland, then became a defensive stronghold during the War of 1812, and why today it remains one of Baltimore’s most cherished public spaces.
