Great history and...
Great history and libations tour! Victor does a great job explaining the history of the town, the spooky stories while sipping on delicious local cocktails. He was also extremely flexible with timing and even adjusted the date when I had something come up.
Response from the operator: A great night! 😊 Thank You

Too much money
Too expensive for the experience. We need more of a drink choice or have the drinks tie to the stories or area. We stopped at 5 places and had 3 margaritas. The stories were well told, but also well known. We knew 3 of the stories already. We wanted to hear new stories and have better drinks. The bars were great and the atmosphere was wonderful.
Response from the operator: Ahhh Terry after all the fun we had and the amazing tip you gave after and to see this makes me sad. The drinks did tie into the stories and this is a tour focused on cocktails, not the beer and wine you and your friends kept changing to. And margaritas are very much a part of the land. The your negative comments made about one drink at the bar is dis heartening as I saw the disappointment on the bartenders face when your group shouted that out loud. Which I ignored. Maybe next time you should connect with the tour guides to see what’s all entailed instead of expecting something you apparently didn’t get. Good Luck to you

Highly recommended tour!
Victor was extremely knowledgeable on the local history, folklore, and culture. The tour was lighthearted and informative. The drinks were imaginative and tasty. Would recommend bringing a bottle of water so you can stay hydrated between the alcohol.
Response from the operator: You did a great job! Thank you for joining

Cocktails and haunted tales - a night of spirited fun.
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.
Response from the operator: I love the two of you!!! Until next time…. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Fe.
How much does Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Fe usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Fe is not rushed.
Is Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Fe, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Fe can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Fe and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santa Fe Haunted Spirits Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Fe within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Fe?
+
Santa Fe runs on culture: Canyon Road gallery walks, Georgia O'Keeffe country and Ghost Ranch tours, pueblo visits, green chile food tours and Bandelier hikes. Cultural access and guide expertise matter more than price here. On Outty we rank every Santa Fe experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Santa Fe Revisited, Santa Fe Ultimate History Walking Tour, The ORIGINAL Wander New Mexico "Sip & Savor" Plaza Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Fe?
+
April to June and September to October, with Indian Market in August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Fe?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
