The 11 Best Ghost Tours in Key West

1. Key West Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Hop aboard the Trolley of the Doomed with Historic Tours of America’s Ghosts and Gravestones Tour of Key West. If you want a ghost tour but don’t want to do a bunch of walking, this tour is for you.

A gravedigger narrates the tour throughout Old Town after dark. This family-friendly tour (no children under 4) is tons of fun. The guides, dressed as 17th-century gravediggers, keep you and your family entertained throughout the tour.

The Ghosts and Gravestones Tour of Key West takes you to some of the city’s most haunted places. Visit locations like the Porter Mansion, the Artist’s House (home to Robert the Doll), the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum, and the Hanging Tree.

2. Key West Ghost and Mysteries Tour

Known as one of the best ghost tours in Key West, the Key West Ghost and Mysteries Guided Tour is one you shouldn’t miss. Wander through hidden alleys from one haunted location to another haunted site throughout Key West on a 90-minute ghost tour.

Follow a guide who mixes real history with creepy tales at spots like the Curry Mansion Inn, the Artist House, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, the oldest graveyard in Key West, and several other haunted places.

Some of the stories are chilling and will send shivers down your spine. The tour is super organized, and the guides are friendly and passionate about their storytelling.

One reason this is one of my favorite ghost tours is that you will learn how dowsing rods work and how to take the best spooky photos! After hearing his strange story, you should try to reach out to the spirit known as Count Von Cosel! (Please let me know if he reaches out to you.)

Want to go on a pub crawl and a ghost tour? Then, check out the Key West Haunted Pub Crawl and Ghost Tour.

This is one of the best ghost tours in Key West for adults only who want to bar-hop between haunted locations. What makes this ghost tour creepier? Some of the pubs are located in haunted mansions and a repurposed morgue!

You will stay in the pubs for about 15 minutes, so grab your drinks immediately to keep up with the tour when they are ready to move to the next location. The bars get busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so it will be easier to avoid the crowds if you can take this tour on a different day.

The tour guides are a lot of fun, and you will learn a lot of history about Key West’s spooky side. The tour price does not cover drinks, but you will get a souvenir T-shirt to remember your night!

The tour concludes with a visit with Robert the Doll, where you can reach out to his spirit and even take a photo with him—if you dare.
