Key West’s original “frightseeing” tour is 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 will be 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.

The seats were very uncomfortable and the tour itself was far less memorable compare to others of this type I have taken which had graphics, lights and sound effect. Overall I would rate it Poor at best. PS. However, the driver and guide were very friendly.

Our ghost guide was very entertaining and informative. She gave us ghost facts and real history at the same time! As we were touring the town people would yell out “you are doomed” we answered back “ Yes we are the doomed”! We had great time!
