Private Group Ghost Walk

Private walking tour for your group only, exploring Key West's haunted mansions and inns at your own pace.

Overview

This walk, run by Up The Keys Tours, is built for a single booking party. You meet your guide at the Bearded Lady on Southard Street at 19:30, and the tour is exclusively for your group. That means the guide's attention stays with you at every stop.

The route runs about 1.5 to 2 hours and touches at least five haunted mansions plus two haunted bars. Stops listed include the Key West Theater, which you pass by, the Hard Rock Cafe and Duval Street, each for about 15 minutes, the Curry Mansion Inn for about 10 minutes, the Audubon House, and Capt. Tony's Saloon, where you get roughly 10 minutes. The tour ends at Duval and Greene Street, near Captain Tony's and Sloppy Joe's, and the guide will point you toward whatever you want to do next.

A guide is included, and that is essentially the whole package. Hotel pickup is not. It suits travellers who want a haunted history walk without strangers in the group, whether that is a family, a group of friends, or a couple who would rather not share the guide with anyone else. A review of this exact tour praised the mix of history and ghost stories.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of this walk, from timing at the meeting point to what the private format actually gets you.

Getting there. There is no hotel pickup, so plan to arrive at 417 Southard Street on your own. The meeting point is across from the Green Parrot and near public transportation. The start time is 19:30, so aim to be there before then.
What to bring. The listing does not specify a bring list. This is a walking tour of 1.5 to 2 hours with stops at haunted bars, so dress for an evening on foot.
Pace and access. The route is a walking tour on surfaces the listing describes as wheelchair accessible, and it is pushchair accessible too. Service animals are allowed. The listing states most travellers can participate.
Group feel. This is a private tour, so only your group participates. The listing pitches that as undivided attention from the guide at every stop. The available reviewer described the guide as knowledgeable and the stories as a good mix of history and ghosts, which fits a format where questions are easy to ask.
Weather and timing. The listing states the experience requires good weather, and the start is fixed at 19:30. If it is cancelled for poor weather you are offered a different date or a full refund. Confirmation is received at the time of booking.
Where you end up. The walk finishes at Duval and Greene Street, near Captain Tony's and Sloppy Joe's. That places you within a short distance of both bars at the end of the tour. The guide will point you in the right direction.

Common issues. The main trade-off is that nothing beyond the guide is included. Hotel pickup is not provided, so you make your own way to the meeting point. The tour depends on good weather, with poor-weather cancellations handled through a rebooking or full refund. Cancelling or changing less than 24 hours before the start gets no refund and no accepted changes, so plan accordingly.
