Our guide knew the history of Key West thoroughly! He had great stories and we especially loved that he had divining rods and EMR devices to use on the tour. So fun!

Ted was a great guide. He is an excellent storyteller. It was a pleasure hanging out with him. The emf tools were fun and a nice touch.

Our tour guide, Yvonne was a delight and very entertaining and personable. The tour was a bust. My wife and I kept expecting the tour would get better as we moved from one location to another, it never happened.

Shout out to our guide Yvonne (sp?) for a fantastic tour through Old Key West where we exclusively entered multiple building, heard the story and then explored on our own with ghost hunting equipment. My partner and I encountered a few “conversations” that are hard to explain away. Treat yourself to something different and get swept away in the macabre.

Great guide, super knowledgeable. Very flexible in terms of what kinds of stories and places you want to hear and see.
DIANNE_L, Aug 2025
Ted, our guide was full of fun facts and stories. Unfortunately, an unexpected, massive thunderstorm poured down upon us just minutes into the tour. Most of the participants left but we tried to wait out the storm. It would have been nice to have been offered a chance to join the ghostwalk another time.

Kim was fantastic! We loved her gadgets and her story telling. She made the tour very interesting and interactive.

I have been on many walking tours. This was unlike any experience I’ve ever had. I do not know the name tour guide. She was short, heavyset, and had a black mohawk. Before we begin the walking tour, she told us that when a Graveyard tour trolly passes by us, we are to all shout “you’re doomed!” at its passengers. Easy enough instructions. At our first stop a trolley passed by us. As instructed, I enthusiastically shouted “you’re doomed!”. She immediately jumped in my face and angrily barked “will you let me lead this tour?!”. Evidently she intended to count down from three and have us all shout together. I was so embarrassingly taken aback by her reaction that I had to joshingly defend myself in front of the whole group. Other members of the tour discreetly confirmed that the countdown instruction was never given. More importantly, when walking between sites, she seemed annoyed with questions about events, as if bothered to have to answer questions. Although she may have been battling internal demons, in my humble opinion, this person should not be a tour guide and should perhaps find a different line of work for that is not dealing directly with customers, respectfully.

Great time and experience. Yvonne our guide was phenomenal and very informative. We would do it again.
Elizabeth_P, Jun 2025
The tour was amazing. Our tour guide Evonne shared great stories and truths along the way. One of the most exciting things about this tour is they provided tools to interact with the spirits. We had a lot of contact both with and without the tools.
Carly_P, Jun 2025
Absolutely worth it! We encountered a lot of otherworldly vibes and caught some on camera. The guide was great as well. The equipment was an added plus, which lent to the spookiness of the night
Abbygail_S, Jun 2025
Really wonderful ghost tour experience. We got to use all of the equipment. Yvonne was our tour guide for the evening. She was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, and very knowledgeable about the legends of the island! Would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Key West.
Rachel_M, Feb 2025
Very knowledgeable and fun, we walked around and learned more about the early inhabitants of key west and the history of the town. Lots of good information and quite spooky!
Palma_R, Aug 2024
It was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made it entertaining. Loved it.
Timo_P, Aug 2024
You really have to believe in ghosts to not feel ridiculous. We were also disappointed be the two locations we visited.
MaryElizabeth_S, Jul 2024
Wonderful time. Our granddaughter was very interested. This tour really helped polish her ghost hunting skills.
Alysia_C, Jul 2024
Tedd was a great story teller. It was an enjoyable experience. It was not scary and good for all ages.
Jennifer_M, Jul 2024
Such a fun time for the whole family. This is a great way to get a bit of island history with a fun and spooky twist. We were able to visit and go inside many locations. The kids loved the emf readers and dividing rods. We even got a few bonus stories at the end! I would totally recommend this tour!
Margaret_M, Mar 2024
A friend and I went on the walking tour and had a blast. Loved learning the creepy history, Yvonne was our guide and she was amazing!
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Lisa_T, Mar 2024
We learned so much about local history. Our guide was outstanding and this unique experience was a great way to end our visit to Key West.

We’ll be here for your return visit

Samantha was a great tour guide and was full of Key West History. We had a great time highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for sharing your review! Samantha is one of our top local experts!
Kerry_Y, Nov 2023
Yvonne, our guide, was enthusiastic, antimatter, and eager to share the history of Old Key West. She was knowledgeable and shred not only the “tour info” but added addy info she had learned from her own research of the people and places on the tour. EVERY ghost tour guide should be this good. We have gone on many different ghost tours and Yvonne was far above all other guides. Her enthusiasm and love for the stores was infectious.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour! Yvonnes passion and experience truly make for a one of a kind tour guide
Robin_S, Oct 2023
It was OK. The person providing the tour was to me was more of a joker that a story teller. Content was lacking aswell. Would not recommend this tour.
Maia_W, Sep 2023
Kim was incredible. She’s so knowledgeable about key west history as well as local haunting stories. The addition of dowsing rods and emf meters was a plus, a hands on experience to dive deeper into the stories. Thanks Kim!

Ted was awesome! He did an amazing job! Love that he gave facts than just theory and tall tales! 10/10! Thanks for the awesome tour of the original key west!
Kevin_F, Jul 2023
Ted, has lots of experience and knowledge about the area and places we visited also he is a lot of fun and felt me more like hanging out with someone than a tour so to me that was really good feeling.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thanks for hanging out with us!
Mary_S, Jun 2023
Our guide Ted was a terrific storyteller and we greatly enjoyed the tour. Had fun with the dousing rods and pendants. Enjoyed learning the haunted history of some of Key West’s most beautiful houses!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for joining us and thanks for the great review!
Cynthia_F, May 2023
Ted was our guide. Ted was very articulate and explained everything perfectly. He wasn’t a goofball with a ridiculous act. We loved the historical knowledge , the stories of the ghosts, and the polite kindness in which Ted answered all of our questions.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love being able to interact with our guests (and the spirits) by answering any questions you might have!
Cathy_T, Mar 2023
Not too much walking. Great story’s. Fun to use equipment. Guide was knowledgeable and informative. We had a good time.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Concise, interactive, and informative is what we aim for! Happy to provide a fun night!
Liz_R, Mar 2023
Ted was personable and knowledgeable, and he had fun at the same time. I wish we could have a few more things to experience - not just walk-bys - but it was a great evening.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Absolutely understandable! We do our best to go inside a few places every night, and hope to better accommodate next time!
