Best Ghost Tour! Must Do in Key West!!
I booked the Ghost & Mysteries walking tour solo on a whim, and it turned into the highlight of my Key West trip, almost entirely because of our guide, Dawn. She’s a natural storyteller, the kind who can make a quiet Old Town side street feel genuinely eerie one minute and have the whole group laughing the next. What I appreciated most is that she weaves real Key West history into the ghost stories, so you walk away actually knowing more about the island, not just spooked. As a solo traveler I felt completely included the entire time. She read the group perfectly and made sure everyone was pulled into the story. The 90 minutes flew by. Absolutely worth it, would recommend to anyone visiting Key West!
Operator response
Now this made me smile! Thank you so much for taking a chance on the tour. I always hope solo travelers feel like they’re part of the group, so it means a lot to hear that you did. I’m glad the mix of Key West history, spooky stories, and a few laughs made your evening such a memorable one. Thanks again for the wonderful recommendation, and I’m honored to have been a highlight of your trip! 👻
