I love hearing that! There’s something about knowing the dark stories behind these old Key West buildings that makes you see the whole island a little differently. I’m so glad you had a great time and that the stories will stick with you! 👻

Dawn was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable of all things ghosts and ghouls of Key West. Would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Sounds like the ghosts were on their best behavior that night. Thanks for spending the evening with me and for the wonderful recommendation! 👻
April_D, Jun 2026
Our guide was knowledgeable & gave lots of little local facts along with the expected ghost lore. My daughter was so excited to find out Judy Bloom owns the local bookstore! Nothing better than having true local guides to explore with. We have orb sightseeing in one of our photos & we definitely felt a presence at the Ford showroom. It was a great time.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Cool! Really glad you enjoyed the mix of local history and ghost stories, that’s exactly what I aim for on the tour. I also love that those little Key West facts stood out along the way. Appreciate you sharing this! 👻
Meredith_B, Jun 2026
Dawn is a great story teller and really gets into the tour! There are many places to sit along the way and it’s basically flat, so it is not a hard walk.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the stories, and I’m happy the relaxed pace made the walk comfortable too. It was a pleasure having you along! 👻
CHELSEA_B, May 2026
Dawn was a wonderful guide! She did a great job of guiding and entertaining. I was impressed with her knowledge and entertwining history with folklore and spook.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the mix of history, folklore, and spooky stories. I really appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again! 👻
robandfran, May 2026
Just enjoy it Dawn knows what she’s talking about!! It took everything in me not to be like “I know this!” But luckily she knew more than I did!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for this. I love when fellow history and paranormal nerds come on the tour. It makes the stories even more fun to share. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and honestly, having someone excited and engaged like you is the best kind of group. 👻
Chase_C, May 2026
The tour guides energy was very contagious. I had a great time and even recommended the tour to some folks the next morning. Much better than a trolley.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you! I’m really glad you had such a fun time, and hearing that you recommended the tour to others the next morning truly means a lot. I’m happy the more personal walking tour experience stood out for you too. 👻
Loren_L, May 2026
Dawn was professional, knowledgeable, interesting and fun. We enjoyed the ghost stories and the visual aid ( pictures).
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for coming out. I’m really glad you enjoyed the stories and the history, and that the photos helped bring everything to life. I truly appreciate the kind words. 👻
Barbara_C, Apr 2026
The buffet was very good and well worth the additional charge. The live music was entertaining as well. The cruise was nice but it seemed we circled the same small area and never went far from the shore. The sunset was spectacular but we can’t thank the crew for that can we?
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It sounds like there may have been a mix-up, but I’m glad you had an enjoyable evening! If you ever join us for the Key West Ghosts & Mysteries Tour, we’d love the chance to show you a different side of Key West’s history! 👻
Monica_C, Apr 2026
Lots of fun! Our guide Dawn made it fun. Very entertaining. There is some walking but it’s easy with lots of stops. I have MS and walk with foot drop and I had no issues.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
You all were such a great group! I had a blast with you! I’m so glad the pace worked well, and I really appreciate you sharing your experience. 👻
Wendy_J, Apr 2026
It was informative. There was plenty of info but the tour guide just kept asking if we would decide to stay in a haunted b&b. It was fine but not exciting or thrill inducing.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for joining the tour and for your feedback.
I’m happy you found it informative!
Our approach here at Key West Ghost and Mysteries Tour can feel different from a few of the other tours in town as we lean more towards a casual conversational style.
Other tours utilize a more thrilling theatrical based storytelling approach, and, boy, there is some real talent out there with those tours!
Having both operating simultaneously throughout Key West gives the customer an opportunity to tailor their experience based on their personal taste.
There are some great options on the island for a more theatrical based style and I would be happy to recommend some of them if you will be in town a little longer or for your next visit.
Again, thank you for joining us, we appreciate your business and enjoyed having you on the tour. 👻
Viktoriya_K, Apr 2026
It was a wonderful tour. The tour guide Dawn ( I think that was her name) was truly wonderful, knowledgable and engaging. We took the tour with 2 kids (8 and 10 y.o.) and some of the content was a bit scary but Dawn made sure it was perfect for all ages adjusting her language and making sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you and the kids enjoyed the tour. It was a joy making the stories fun and just the right amount of spooky for everyone. I really appreciate your recommendation! 👻
Raisa_C, Mar 2026

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.

Fun tour. Dawn was great. Lots of historical facts and some were pretty creepy. One of the stories included the hotel my wife and Iatre staying at.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you! That makes me smile. It’s always fun when your own hotel ends up in the story. I’m glad you had a great time learning the history and hearing a few spooky details. 👻
Ken_T, Feb 2026
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.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for coming out! I’m glad everyone enjoyed it and that the pace felt comfortable along the way. I appreciate the helpful sneaker tip too. 👻
