Dawn was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable of all things ghosts and ghouls of Key West. Would highly recommend this tour.

Epic!

Our guide was knowledgeable & gave lots of little local facts along with the expected ghost lore. My daughter was so excited to find out Judy Bloom owns the local bookstore! Nothing better than having true local guides to explore with. We have orb sightseeing in one of our photos & we definitely felt a presence at the Ford showroom. It was a great time.

Operator response

Cool! Really glad you enjoyed the mix of local history and ghost stories, that’s exactly what I aim for on the tour. I also love that those little Key West facts stood out along the way. Appreciate you sharing this! 👻

The best ghost tour in Key West

This was our first ever ghost tour. I went w/ 2 teens, one who doesn’t like scary/ gory type movies. The guide was on time, very knowledgeable and the stories were informative but not a cheesy vibe like I saw of a similar Key West tour on the train. The walking was manageable as well. I don’t remember the name of our tour guide for the Tuesday 7pm tour but she was phenomenal ! A must do.

Operator response

Thank you so much! I’m so glad your first ghost tour was a hit, especially with a teenager who isn’t a fan of scary movies. I’m also happy the stories felt more authentic than over the top. And yes, that was me, Dawn 😊 I really appreciate the recommendation! 👻

Fantastic time

A great time was had by all, our guide was fantastic, it was a small group just 5 of us and our guide. As I said before, she was fantastic and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a tour.

Operator response

Thank you so much! I loved having your group. Small tours are always so much fun because we get to chat and share stories along the way. I really appreciate the recommendation! 👻

Dawn is a great story...

Dawn is a great story teller and really gets into the tour! There are many places to sit along the way and it’s basically flat, so it is not a hard walk.

Operator response

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the stories, and I’m happy the relaxed pace made the walk comfortable too. It was a pleasure having you along! 👻

All Around Great Tour

Dawn, our tour guide, was amazing! I booked this tour before we arrived in Key West. I'd done a lot of walking that day the tour was scheduled and more than once I thought of canceling. I arrived and explained to our guide, Dawn, that I might have to drop out before the tour was finished if my knees didn't hold up. Dawn was so accommodating!!! I managed to see everything and do the whole tour. As for the tour, it was creepy enough and she spoke a lot about the history (which suited my husband and son) so it was a win win overall. Highly recommend.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m so glad you decided to come despite your knees giving you trouble. It was important to me that you could enjoy the whole experience comfortably, and I’m thrilled you made it through the entire tour. I love that the mix of spooky stories and history was a win for everyone. Thanks so much for the recommendation! 👻

Our guide was fantastic, her enthusiasm was evident that she loves this job. The tour was fantastic and the hour and half she spent with us flew by so quickly. We would do this again and recommend her to anyone looking to do this.

Operator response

Thank you so much! Hearing that the time flew by is one of the best compliments I could ask for. I’m so glad you had such a great time, and I really appreciate the recommendation 👻

Our tour guide was awesome!! I’m such a nerd for this stuff So she was very patient with my nerdy self.

Just enjoy it Dawn knows what she’s talking about!! It took everything in me not to be like “I know this!” But luckily she knew more than I did!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this. I love when fellow history and paranormal nerds come on the tour. It makes the stories even more fun to share. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and honestly, having someone excited and engaged like you is the best kind of group. 👻
