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.

Not a haunted house, type experience but more like a journey through time with overtones of hauntings.
jackie_m, Jul 2026
Good tour, lots of info. Funny bits also. Did not know about some of the more Randy residents of old Timey Key West!!
Christe_C, Jul 2026
Calico Jack is an amazing story teller. Bring a fan. Go after dark for a spookier experience. Overall a fun ride.
Justin_O, Jul 2026
Great if you enjoy a mix of history, ghost stories and a little quirky fun. Loved the sights and seeing the legendary places in person
Jeffrey_B, Jul 2026
The tour was cheesy and poorly presented. The guide didn’t ge ghost stories, just stories about the families that lived there and how they died of the yellow flu. Started the tour with the phrase, “I am dead.” I knew right then it was going to be a waste and I should leave. Then everytime someone yelled, “You’re doomed.” They wanted us to say back “We are the doomed.” all together. I could’ve read the history of the area and given myself a better tour than this haphazard misinformed “tour.”
Tamara_B, Jul 2026
We had so much fun, interactive and so much information that is crazy to hear! This was our 2nd time

We went on the trolley ghost tour. Violet was a great tour guide. She loves her job and is really good at telling the stories. We learned a lot about the history of Key West.
Monica_W, Jun 2026
Super fun and informational evening with Ghosts and Gravestones! Kate and Howard were awesome tour guides. We had three generations in our family on our tour and I can say that it was fun for all ages! Our daughter is 11 and the tour was not scary for her. It was a fun way to learn the darker history of Key West while also seeing a beautiful sunset on the trolley ride. We all laughed as people shouted that we were doomed from the street (you'll understand that reference when you book the tour!!) I would highly recommend this tour!

This is a must when you come to Key West. Everyone just screams on the street at the bus. It’s that well known. Our guide was adorable and knew so much. I enjoy knowing the history places. This is a way to get your kids and husband involved in that in a fun way. Worth every penny.

The experience was very fun traveling around Key West while learning about its history and its spooky tales. It was also cool that we got to stop and go into the museum for further information about the history. The tour guide brought great energy and made the experience very entertaining.

Calico Jack and our driver Howard were amazing, knowledgeable and entertaining. This is a great way to learn about the Island while having fun and experiencing a little bit of fear of the unknown. Great tour!
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.
Kimberly_H, Apr 2026
Fun! First excursion during our spring break trip with 2 18 year olds. We all enjoyed it. Go at night.
Scott_B, Apr 2026
Minimal walking. Excellent tour if you like to hear some of the spookier tales of the town. Violet did a wonderful job.
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
Chappgm, Apr 2026
This tour is exactly as described. We began on time and ended exactly one hour later. Plenty of information and a couple of stops.
Sarah_S, Apr 2026
My husband and I had such a fun time on the tour. Marie mystery was our tour guide and she was FABULOUS. The tour was fun, lively, educational, and spooky all at once. I would recommend this tour to others in a heartbeat.
