The Original Key West Ghost Hunt

This ghost tour stands out for its hands-on approach that goes well beyond typical walking tours. What makes it special is the chance to actually use ghost hunting equipment like dowsing rods, EMF meters, and spirit boxes while exploring locations that aren't usually open to the public. The guides, particularly Ted and Yvonne, get consistent praise for their deep knowledge of Key West's history and their engaging storytelling abilities. They're described as personable, high-energy, and genuinely knowledgeable rather than just reciting scripts. Families seem to love this tour especially, with kids in the 8-15 range finding it educational and intriguing without being too scary. There are a couple things to consider before booking. One reviewer felt the actual hunting locations were somewhat underwhelming despite enjoying the guide. More concerning is a detailed complaint about the company's weather policy and communication during severe conditions, with claims they wouldn't cancel during lightning and flooding, and then didn't respond to requests to reschedule. Another reviewer noted that while kids had a blast, adults without children found parts of it a bit slow. Practical tip: bring water since you'll be walking in Key West's heat and humidity even after dark. Overall though, most visitors found it a fun blend of local history and supernatural entertainment, with many saying the hands-on equipment access sets it apart from other ghost tours they've tried.
