Key West’s original “frightseeing” tour provides an evening of fear and fun. It’s a chance to travel back in time to another era. This shadowy, sinister tour departs nightly from the Front Street Depot at the corner of Front and Duval Streets.
Climb aboard the Trolley of the Doomed for an experience unlike any other. Uncover Key West’s darkest secrets and hear the stories of those lost souls who many locals believe still wander the streets of this historic island town.
Your tour will travel past many of the island's most haunted locations—the Marrero House, the Porter Mansion, and even the Hanging Tree. Of particular interest is the former home of Robert Eugene Otto, aka the Artist's House. There, imprisoned in the attic by Dr. Otto's wife, Robert the Doll suffered the abandonment of his lifelong companion, and his mischievous ways took a more sinister turn.
Come with an open mind and see if any ghosts appear on this frightful, fun ghost tour. It’s a ride on the dark side.

Robert_R, May 2026
Fun and the guide Kate was excellent. She was entertaining and her makeup was Hollywood level. Most importantly she was able to change topics as outside crowds guided her talk
Tiffany_H, May 2026
Very cheesy, and unsafe. The trolly had a check engine light on and kept stopping/turning off in the intersection mid turn.

Carol_C, Apr 2026
It was really fun and informative. And warning, dont touch the silver! Our GPS wouldnt work right after my partner touched it. And the next day, we couldn't find our trolley stickers and had to buy new ones. Only to find them afterwards lol

Amelia_D, Apr 2026
This was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about the history of key west. My son is 12 and throughly enjoyed it. It probably would have been a bit too scary for my 8 year old.
