Dawn was an amazing tour... - 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!

Fun Night Tour - A fun and informative way to learn about Key West history on an easy walk around downtown and old residential neighborhoods. Guide used stories and legends around eccentric characters, buildings, and site with their associated "spirits".

Key West Walking Ghost Tour! - 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!

It was better, and I recommend going back to the way they used to do this. Change is not always good. - I did this tour many years ago and it was so much better before. Dawn is fairly new to doing the tour and she was doing a good job, and I think she will get better as she does it more.
The stories were good, the last stop before the final stop at the Hard Rock was not very interesting- aside from the creepy looking doctor who experimented on his patients... not really a ghost story. Dr. Mudd being housed there was interesting if you knew who he was. I am unclear if he died in that house or if he did get moved to the prison. There are much better places and stories than this.
The Hemingway House and Captain Tony's are two famously haunted spots, and these are left off the tour. These are much more interesting spots to talk about- a stop in front of the Hard Rock to tell the story of Robert Curry would be better than climbing all the stairs even though it was nice to sit down and cool off, I would rather had spent that time on at least one of the other two places known to be haunted. Dawn said there was no Hemingway ghost at the house, but legend has it that he has been seen there.
One last thing and I am providing this review to be helpful... the Calusa and the Seminole did not fight a war in Key West. The Calusa were long gone before the Seminoles formed. The Seminoles were not an ancient tribe- they consisted of run aways from other tribes, and some runaway slaves. The word Seminole actually means "runaway" or "outcast." The Calusa did use parts of the island as a communal graveyard- some say it was due to Indian wars, which is possible but not likely. Anyone who knows Florida history will catch this.
I would recommend going- there are different guides and different experiences to be had. I did catch a handful of orbs!! It seemed to be an active night- and a full moon!

Could be better - 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.
