We enjoyed hearing the history of the Keys and the descriptions of the suggested stops along the route. Loved the intermittent Key West themed music as well.
Perfect location….walk to everything….room was great, breakfast is great, staff is very friendly, garden is heavenly. Only thing I would ask for is a break some of the extras. 30.00 a night to park there, and checkout is 11am, but you can ask for a late checkout for 1pm, but that’s an additional 60.00. For guests, that’s is a little over the top. But, then again, it is vacation,
Aloha! Mahalo for the 5-star love! It looks like this review might be for Duval House in Key West rather than our Shaka Guide audio tour. If you did use our Key West & Overseas Highway tour, we'd love to hear how it went for you — and if you share photos, tag @shakaguide or @shakaguideapps so we can celebrate with you! Mahalo! Leo H and the Shaka Guide team
Very good but should expand on things to do in key west. I was wondering if areas that are highlighted in the tour are sponsored by those facilities???
Aloha! Thanks for the kind words and for the thoughtful feedback on our Key West & Overseas Highway tour. We’ll note your suggestion to include more “things to do” in Key West, that’s helpful. And to your question — we don’t take paid placements; the spots we highlight are chosen by our team for history, stories, and guest experience. If you’ve got must-see ideas, we’d love them at aloha@shakaguide.com Mahalo! Leo H and the Shaka Guide team

Unique and interesting guide while we were driving along the overseas highway. It took a little to figure out how to use but once we got the hang of it, it was easy, informative and entertaining. We learned some new things and some things were recommended that we would have never stopped at otherwise.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the guide along the Overseas Highway and that it became easier and more enjoyable once you got the hang of it. 🚗🌞 It’s great to know you discovered new spots you wouldn’t have otherwise visited—sometimes the best gems are the ones off the beaten path! We’re happy the tour was both informative and entertaining for you. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to guide you on more adventures in the future! Safe travels! 🌟
The Audio Tour did not work. We were unable to get it to work. It's a shame because it looked exciting. The good news is we are only out $13. Lesson learned.
