Baltimore Bewitched · Max's Taphouse, 733 S Broadway
A 1-hour ghost walk through Fells Point with Baltimore Bewitched: old sailors, pirates, Edgar Allan Poe and the saloons where the stories started. Pick it for an evening hour that puts the waterfront's history in your ear, with guides guests keep naming in their reviews.
You meet at Max's Taphouse, 733 S Broadway, in the middle of Fells Point. The listing says the walk starts at 8 PM as it gets dark (check the times for your date), and a local guide leads it on foot through the historic district for an hour. On the route: the stories told about Max's Taphouse and Bertha's, the Fell Family Cemetery wedged between two houses, The Horse You Came in On Saloon, where the listing says Edgar Allan Poe took his last drink, and Rye Craft Cocktails, where the subject is shanghaied sailors. The stories cover two centuries of pirates, poets and temptresses, and the operator bills them as well researched.
On the water: no boat. It is an hour on foot along the old port's streets, a few blocks from the water. Want the harbor first? The 60-minute sunset cruise from Light Street makes a good first half of the evening, with the ghost walk after.
Included, per the listing: the 1-hour haunted walking tour with a knowledgeable guide, local ghost stories and the history behind them. Not included: transportation, and gratuities, which are optional. The tour runs rain or shine. Smoking, intoxication and video recording are not allowed, and the listing asks you to bring an ID (a copy is accepted). Children aged 0 to 6 go free, per the listing, though it is an outdoor walk.
