This tour has become a favorite for ghost tour enthusiasts, and it's easy to see why. Guides like Dan and Jeff consistently earn praise for their deep knowledge of Fort East Martello, Key West history, and the infamous Robert the Doll. The small group sizes make a real difference, keeping things interactive and easy to follow along. What sets this experience apart is the hands-on element. Guests get to use actual ghost hunting equipment like EMF readers, spirit boxes, and dowsing rods, and guides give you room to explore and investigate without hovering. The tour wraps up with a visit to Robert the Doll himself, complete with a short video and some genuinely creepy backstory. The VIP upgrade comes up repeatedly in reviews as being well worth it, offering more freedom inside the fort and extended access to equipment. If you're on the fence about it, the consensus seems to lean strongly toward going for it.
Met a great couple from Daytona and we got some great responses with the Estes Method with Robert and in the tunnel. Don't sleep on the courtyard! The spirit box went nuts out there all the way around the Citadel!
