Think Key West is all sunshine and margaritas? Think again. After the sun goes down, the ghosts come out, and they don't always play nice. If you're looking for something a little more intense, a little more disturbing, and a lot more unforgettable, Ghost City Tours' Adults-Only Ghost Tour is the haunted experience you've been waiting for.

This top-rated 16+ ghost tour has been the highest-rated ghost tour in Key West since 2021, with a chilling 4.8-star rating and tens of thousands of guests who have dared to discover the real haunted history of this island paradise. This isn't for the faint of heart, this is where the stories get darker, the hauntings get more disturbing, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Led by one of our expert storytellers, you'll wander through Key West's most haunted and history-soaked streets, hearing terrifying true tales that most tours are too afraid to tell. These stories go beyond typical ghost lore, they explore the darkest chapters of Key West's past and the unexplained activity that continues to rattle this beautiful but haunted island.
