About This Ghost Tour Comparison Site
This site compares the after-dark tours of Key West, Florida: twelve bookable experiences in four categories (see Is Key West Haunted?). Every rating, review count and duration matches the tour's own booking page.
What This Site Does
keywestghost.tours exists to make one decision easier: which after-dark tour in Key West, Florida fits your evening. Twelve bookable tours sit in the comparison: five walking ghost tours through Old Town, three ghost hunts at Fort East Martello, one trolley ride and three haunted pub crawls, each listed with its rating, review count, duration and operator. The site does not run any of them. There is no booking form here and no money changes hands; reservations happen on the live booking page, and the commercial arrangement behind this site is set out at /disclosure/.
Legend Meets History
The streets under these tours are real, and so is the history. Old Town Key West, the Key West Cemetery and the cigar-factory-era mansions are documented places, with graves disturbed by the 1846 hurricane still part of the island's recorded past. The hauntings themselves belong to each operator's storytelling, from Robert the Doll to the firehouse investigations, and this site treats them as local legend rather than established fact. So are Key West's ghosts real? The buildings and the burying grounds are documented; the spirits are the storytellers' craft.
Where The Figures Come From
Prices on this site are left to the live listings, because they shift with the season and the options you pick, so the booking page always wins. Ratings and review totals are copied exactly as published, never rounded in either direction. When a listing withholds a price, no figure is invented here; the listing is the reference. The firehouse hunt holds a perfect 5 rating from 11 reviews, while the Ghosts and Gravestones trolley carries a 4.4 rating across 1392 reviews, because trimming large counts or padding small ones would mislead either way.
How We Treat Figures
Think of this site as a comparison desk, not a travel diary. Nobody behind it claims to have walked every haunted route in Old Town, and no tour here is described from firsthand experience. The practical details you care about, things like duration, operator, cancellation terms and current price, come straight from each tour's live listing, because those figures move with the season. Background on Old Town, the cemetery district and the Bahama Village is checked against official sources rather than tour marketing copy. When you book through a link here, the site earns a fee from the operator at no extra cost to you, and no operator pays for a better rank or kinder wording.

Two smaller operations hold perfect 5 ratings, the firehouse hunt and a private walk, though on review bases of just 11 and 10. Ghost hunts account for 3 of the 12 listings, the trolley runs 1 hour, and pub crawls run about 2 hours each. Free cancellation shows on every card. Since prices move with dates and group size, each card links to the live listing for the current figure (see Tour Prices).
