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

We’re so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do! Yvonne is great at what she does!

Great experience

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.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the great review! We’ll be here for your return visit

Samantha was a great tour...

Nicholas_B, Jan 2024

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!

Enthusiastic and informed guide made a fabulous ghost tour

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

Bored

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.

Highly recommend

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!

Definitely recommend!

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!

Ted makes it fun

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!

A Great Tour!!!

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!

This is the ghost tour You are looking for!

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!

Interactive fun.

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!

A fun evening

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!

Great and spooky way to spend the evening.

Steven_W, Feb 2023

Unlike other ghost tours this is a nice walking tour that takes you to several places around Key West. The operator is knowledgeable about the history, and we were brought to different locations based on the interest of our group. We didn't have to walk all that far, and we were giving some tools to try and detect the ghosts. Even though we didn't really see anything out of the ordinary this time, it was a good time learning about the history and experiences in Key West. Tips are appreciated at the end but weren't explicitly requested. Also, the tour starts at First Flight bar, and we were able to grab a drink to take with us on the tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

So glad we could give your group a memorable tour! Thanks for sharing your unique experience

Don't waste your money!

Anthony_M, Jan 2023

There was almost no substance to this tour. The stories were of random people who died, and there was little reference to actual hauntings or haunted places. Felt like a total waste of time. Can't recommend it at all.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for the feedback! As always, we provide ghost hunting equipment and provide specific stories of hauntings at each location. We also offer a refund for any dissatisfied guests, just reach out via email at: Support@ghosthuntkeywest.com

Great time! Thanks for...

Paije_M, Sep 2022

Great time! Thanks for the tour Ted! We’ll be happy to share your experience with friends that visit!

A must do! Pick this one

Explore_O, Aug 2022

The best host! Super knowledgeable, fun gadgets, and really interactive. We learned so much and had a blast

Key West's ghostly past

Alisa_K, Aug 2022

Ted was our tour guide for the evening & he was very knowledgeable about Key West's history. We looked at a few local residences & hotels that had stories to tell. We also went inside a theater that was once owned by the Masonics. The only negative aspect of the tour - there was a lot of noise coming from Duval Street & loud vehicles which interfered with Ted's presentation, but he did a thorough job overall.

Interesting Stories, but not great experience

Michael_J, Aug 2022

The stories were interesting but there was just too much other noise and distraction from passing crowds and The Duval street festival going on at the time.

Fun with my teenage daughter!

Stacey_C, Jul 2022

We enjoyed the tour, learned a lot of history! Ted was full of knowledge! My daughter enjoyed the use of the equipment- she always wanted to try it!

Great experience of nighttime ghost jeybwest

Barbara_L, Jun 2022

Ted was very personable, knowledgeable and flexible. He obviously is able to focus on aspects of the tour that is best for the group.
