Ghosts and Legends of St. Thomas Charlotte Amalie Walking Tour
Description
The Charlotte Amalie Ghost Walk isn’t just a collection of spooky stories—it’s the real deal. This tour was crafted through deep dives into forgotten books, faded newspaper clippings, and island lore passed down through generations. But the real magic? Talking to the locals—the people who live and work in these historic buildings and have their own chilling encounters to share. This isn’t your typical tourist fare. It’s raw, rooted in Virgin Islands history, and filled with the kind of ghost stories and legends you won’t hear anywhere else.

Located in the legendary "Creque Alley", this place is more than just the title of a Mamas and Papas song, this iconic alley harbors a chilling haunting and a notorious connection to a gruesome crime involving a well-known islander.

Ever wonder why all of the city’s iconic Danish step streets are called “99 Steps”? The answer might surprise you—especially when werewolves get involved.

Have return planned ahead. At the end of our tour, our guide just left us standing at Bluebeard's Castle without telling us anything about how to return to our ship.
A highly informative tour of the spooky side of St. Thomas. You'll have fun while you learn. Our guide William was very knowledgeable and friendly. He is quite possibly the best tour guide of all time. Light walking, heavy facts. 10/10
This is a very detailed historical tour rich in formative island history. Historical leadership, pirates, tradgedy, some paranormal/ghost information sprinkled in.
Jennifer went at our pace and we had a great time, she knows her history and her ghosts!! I would do it again just to hear more ghosts stories!!
Tour was cancelled, I’m not going to trash the company, things happen but was pretty bummed out, they offered to reschedule but times don’t work for us, hopefully I get my money back
This tour was informative and fun. The guide, Jennifer, was engaging and full of spooky stories, fun facts and interesting history. I highly recommend this tour as a wonderful experience and a great introduction to the history and legends of the Virgin Islands.
The tour was very informative and very enjoyable. The 2 tour guides worked well together telling the stories of St.Thomas.
This tour was so phenomenal, I came back for round two! This time, it was a night tour. The tour guide provided an engaging and thorough history of St. Thomas and its haunted past. The buildings we went to and stories from this town are so interesting. The level of care and detail that went into this tour was incredible. I highly recommend taking this tour to anyone interested in history or ghosts when visiting St. Thomas!
Liz and William were amazing tour guides! So much history packed into 2 hours! Loved the deeper historical perspectives and just the right amount of spooky. Thanks for a truly memorable time!
Liz was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable with all the history of St Thomas. Very easy walking tour. Can get a little hot so make sure to bring water.
