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.

This was an amazingly fun and informative ghost tour. Our guide Violet, was so fun, her energy really brought these stories to life!! My entire family thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Everywhere we went People on the streets were yelling “WE’RE ALL DOOMED!” Which just tells you how popular this tour is. Highly recommend, 10/10 would do again!!

Entertaining and educational low effort experience touring Key West from a different historical perspective.
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.
Anthony_G, Apr 2026
The tour was amazing! Very informative about the area and spirits. The stop at the shipwreck museum was pretty sweet, especially if you want to risk lifting the silver block.
Lara_A, Apr 2026
Father James was very engaging and we very much enjoyed our tour. We felt it good value and had fun.
Christine_B, Mar 2026

Enjoyable and engaging night! Pirate museum was very cool. Don't touch the silver unless you want your wife to yell at you.
Patti_D, Mar 2026
Fun outing to do on our last night in Key West. We learned some of the history of Key West and also how it got its name, which was very interesting.
Alison_D, Mar 2026
The information was presented in a fun way that kept everyone interested.. our trolley drivers skills was impressive in a very crowded area.
Amy_D, Mar 2026
I know the guide was trying really hard but this was really just not good. The environment is tough- it was so loud with so many bars blasting music, she was hard to hear. She talked so fast it was hard to follow and the jokes were just beyond corny. There really wasn't any spook factor to it at all. It felt like a lot of random stories. Disappointing. I don't recommend unfortunately.
Donna_P, Mar 2026
Nice tour, great seeing key west and night and Violet ( our guide) was amazing. Learned a lot about the keys
Matt_F, Mar 2026
It was a great family trip- especially for teens. They loved it, something for the older kids to be interested to do. Fun trip around the island. Informative and loved that we visited the maritime museum too. Now we want to go back.
Diane_M, Feb 2026
We had the best time ever with Howard and Kate on the Ghost tour. Very informative, fun and creepy. Be warned, "YOU ARE DOOMED!!" Highly recommend!

Ashley_R, Feb 2026
Fun short tour. It was what I expected it would be. Liked all the interesting stories etc. you even get to stop and go in the shipwreck museum.
Shari_B, Feb 2026
In hindsight, the trolley concept for a haunted tour probably wasn't a good choice for us. Not the same feel as a walking tour where can absorb a little more.
Dawn_S, Feb 2026
It was cute. Kinda cheesy but a nice ride around Key West pointing out points of interest with the narrate in full character.
Sandra_N, Jan 2026
Fun tour after dark. Our ghost guide Violet was excellent. She was a great story teller and had a good sense of humor.
Joseph_A, Jan 2026
This was pretty good for first timers and frequent visitors. It was interesting to hear and see some of Key West’s darker side
Ryan_D, Jan 2026
Great experience and Danny and captain Jack were amazing! The route was awesome and plenty of information!
Joseph_P, Jan 2026
Very informative, entertaining, fun and interactive. Howard the driver was funny and entertaining. Good times
Jodi_B, Jan 2026
This was a really great evening tour. There was a driver and a costumed hostess, and both were terrific, but the hostess was particularly good. What I loved about the tour is that it wasn't just ghost stories...we went down to the African burial ground at Higgs Beach and heard the history of the people buried there, which was incredibly moving. The tour was a nice balance of spooky fun and actual thoughtful historical storytelling.
