What You Will Do

Don't let the trolley take you for a ride. We're the only ghost tour in Key West where you'll walk the dark halls of historic Fort East Martello with authentic ghost-hunting equipment and meet Key West's infamous haunted doll, Robert. USA Today named us one of America's 10 Most Haunted Destinations, and Thrillist calls us "The Creepiest Place in Florida." See for yourself, but be warned: we actively engage spirits, so our hunts are not for everyone. We're family-owned by real Key West locals, and our Google satisfaction rating is 4.9. One of our owners opened the first ghost tours on the island and wrote Ghosts of Key West, Haunted Key West, and the biography of Robert the Doll. Book General Admission tickets on our site for the one-hour guided tour. Book VIP here for the two-hour ghost-hunting adventure, which includes an additional hour hunting ghosts on your own after the guided tour. There are dozens of ghost tours in Key West. See why people are dying to get into ours.

Itinerary

Meeting Point

Fort East Martello is located on the ocean, directly in front of the airport. Your guide will meet you at the fort's main entrance. Look for the massive anchor and the flag pole.

Fort East Martello Museum

2 hours

The ghost tour includes a 60-minute guided ghost tour followed by 60 minutes of hunting ghosts on your own. The experience takes place inside Key West's haunted Fort East Martello Museum where you will learn the haunted history of the Civil War fort and meet the infamous Robert the Doll. The first 40 minutes of the tour are on foot. Short walks between rooms at an easy pace followed by a 20-minute sitdown with Robert the Doll. After the guided hour, VIP ticket holders have an hour to hunt ghosts on their own with access to the former Yellow Fever hospital (VIP exclusive). The VIP Experience includes the use of ghost-hunting equipment like K-2 Meters, spirit dowsing rods, spirit boxes, and trigger objects. There is time at the end to take photos with Robert the Doll if you are feeling brave.

My husband I went on the Ghost tour and met Robert The Doll. Tour had a lot of information all the history with Robert and museum. You take what you want out if the tour. I enjoyed it. Took the VIP tour and had responses from the spirit box. It was fun. Didn't see any ghosts but enjoyed Daniel's tour and then Matt was very informative and helpful with my husband who had mobility issues. Thank tou Daniel and Matt

Love this tour!

I’ve had some of the best experiences with this crew. And the story of Robert always sticks and it’s unforgettable. The time spent here isn’t bland or scripted. The hosts know the facts and explain them, you believe it, or you don’t.

This is a fun tour with knowledgeable tour guides

We have been to the Fort before but it is definitely a different experience at night. Tour guides do a nice job of storytelling and the VIP portion is fun because you get to wander on your own for an hour or so. If you’re into the supernatural (or just local history), this is a good way to spend an evening. P.S. Robert was well behaved while we were there.
