This was a great walking ghost tour! The storytelling was superb. Easy walking and opportunities to sit while listening. We were sad the tour was over. We could’ve listened to her all night.

Everyone enjoyed it. Tour guide Dawn was nice and patient. There is walking, but not a lot. There are stops where you can rest as she tells spooky history. Wear sneakers.

Comfortable walk around several blocks. Dawn, our tour guide, gave us a little history, trivia, folklore, and spooky stories associated with buildings and people who once lived in Key West. Would recommend for an interesting night.

Very fun and engaging tour. I liked that they mixed real history and facts with mystery and supernatural. I'm a millennial and went with my boomer mom, and we both had a wonderful time. The walking was very easy and leisurely, some stops had steps we could sit/rest on.

What a fun evening. Grateful we stumbled on this event. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history. My husband is a disabled vet and he had no issues with the short distance of walking and standing.

Thank you so much! We loved having you both and are glad the tour worked well for your husband. 👻

Dawn was an amazing tour...

Ashleigh_C, Jul 2025
Dawn was an amazing tour guide & an incredible storyteller. We had such a great time during this ghost tour. We picked up some activity in some of our photos. It was a little spooky, but mostly fun. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you had a fun (and a little spooky!) time on the tour. Love that you even caught some activity in your photos, those are always exciting! 👻

Key West Walking Ghost Tour!

Melanie_S, Jul 2025
Dawn is a wonderful guide and storyteller. Our family loved the tour, the history and creepy stories of Key West and all it has to offer. I would definitely recommend this over the other ghost tour on a bus. This tour is local and supports a local business! On the tour, you actually walk the streets and spend time at the site itself where the story originated. Fun time for all!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much! I’m glad your family enjoyed the history, stories, and walking the streets where it all happened. We truly appreciate your support of our local tour! 👻

Robins

Karen_R, May 2025
Lafayette was amazing. I would highly recommend him as your guide. He remained in character and was very knowledgeable and funny.

Ted ghost tour

courtney_b, Mar 2025
Ted made the experience really amazing, he was very knowledgeable and passionate. I would definetly reccomend doing this tour.

Could be better

Isabel_M, Mar 2025
It’s a nice tour but we were hoping on a little more mystery and more engaging guide. It’s a good walk in the less busy streets.

Fast Eddie rocks!

Ally_E, Mar 2025
Fast Eddie is the best! Amazing, fascinating tour highlighting the paranormal in Key West aka Key Weird. Highly recommend!

Give it a chance! It’s a fun part you don’t get just walking around the town!

Darby_R, Jan 2025
It was a really good time. Fast Eddie was fun and funny and we learned a lot and even some history of Key West along with some Key “Weird” stories. Would book again!

Julie_C, Dec 2024
“Fast Eddy” was not fast with his story telling as he spent a large amt of time staring off into space trying to remember what he was saying. Everyone would just stand there and stare waiting for the next words. Either that was not water in his bottle, there is some old age setting in or there was one too many parties in his youth. All you do is walk, stop, wait for him to talk. Went in one building.
