What Our Guests Are Saying

The absolute best performance tour guide

Mr. Hooker is probably the absolute best performance tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of seeing perform. Not only did Mr. Hooker know the history of “Bone Island”, where all the skeletons were buried and such, he also knew why the hauntings were so focused on Key West. He never broke character- no matter how much I questioned…

Aye Aye to Captain Lily Lynch

My family took your tour and had the best tour guide we have ever had… her name was Lily Lynch; she made the tour informative, scary and a bit funny at the same time… My wife who really is not that much into history paid attention to her every word and had a blast. This young lady deserves a pat on the back for a job well done…

J.C., Aberdeen, MD

We had such an amazing time!

My new husband and I took the trolley tour in Key West this past week while visiting on our honeymoon. We had such an amazing time!!! Richard the driver and Raven our tour guide were AWESOME!!!! I have always wanted to take one of these excursions but never had the chance before. From my husband and myself, THANK YOU for making our honeymoon even more amazing!!!…

Best tour ever

Bloody Braids was an amazing host! She was charismatic and funny while simultaneously making the tour just spooky enough for everyone. She also made sure everyone was comfortable and felt safe before each activity! Super informational, learned about the history of Key West and heard some spooky stories, best tour ever!…

The tour was a lot of fun!

The Butcher and Art the driver did a fantastic job entertaining us during the drive. The stories were horrible in the best way possible and brought in an excellent manner. The lovely Lulu gave a great performance and made the whole trip even better.

Thanks very much for a spooky and fun time!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for a wonderful time. I took the tour with my family, and we had so much fun. I came into work this morning and recommended it to everyone. Our tour guide was Madeleine – she was great!

What a blast we had on the ghost tour!! We’ve been before but learned a bunch of new things this time around. Our guides (“dead flower arsenic” lady and “circus lady” and our driver Howard) were in character and had awesome storytelling skills. Kids loved it! Thanks!
