Key West Smartphone guided Ghost Walking Tour App/GPS/EMF Reader is a self-guided phone walk from WalknTours, booking from $9.75 per person at our August 2, 2026 check. It is the cheapest and the shortest listing in the Key West set we track: 55 minutes past nine named Old Town waypoints, six of them walked to and three flagged as pass-bys. Nobody meets you. The listing carries a private-tour flag, but that is an artifact of selling an app product per party rather than a guide of any kind. The one number to handle carefully is the rating: 4.2 from nine Viator reviews. Nine is not a usable sample, so we print that score only with its sample size beside it, and we leave this listing out of every Key West comparison, count and aggregate on the site.

Who it suits
Budget visitors who want the stories without booking a guide, and anyone who would rather not walk with a group. It is the only self-guided product in the Key West set we track and by a wide margin the cheapest. Skip it if you want a live storyteller, a group, or a review base big enough to judge by, and skip it if you need step-free access, because the listing is marked not wheelchair accessible.
Two things on the listing itself are worth knowing before you walk. Its meeting-point text calls the tree inside Captain Tony's the hanging tree of Key West; that is the listing's claim rather than a documented fact, because no execution record, court record, newspaper account or federal document turned up in our research placing a hanging at 428 Greene Street, and the National Register nomination that covers the building mentions no hanging tree at all. And one of the nine waypoints is described as the Hard Rock Cafe at 313 Duval, which closed permanently on 30 April 2026; a June 2026 report names the Smokin' Tuna Saloon as the incoming tenant, still renovating, with no opening date announced.
