In addition to lovely food, the tour was filled with fun “extras” like the cigar factory and a stop at Kino sandals. The mix of cuisine, local color, history, architecture, and a very personable guide made the time fly by. Book this tour! It’s awesome.
Very much enjoyed this tour- we took it the first day in town so that we could learn Key West and to find out additional things to do while in town. Our guide did not disappoint! The food stops were terrific and the information shared by our guide was interesting and informative. Lots of food- come hungry! Pace yourself for the last few stops:)
The tour was a very good experience I went into places that I otherwise wouldn’t have known existed and the food choices were amazing and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
It is completely worth the money for this fun your. The food is also delicious. Gogo is a fun and amazing host for the tour!
Our Historic Seaport Food & Cultural Walking Tour with Key West Food Tours was one of the highlights of our time in Key West. From the moment the tour began, our guide Angie made everyone feel welcome and set the tone for a fun, engaging tour. Her enthusiasm for Key West was contagious, and she did an outstanding job weaving together the island's history, culture, and culinary traditions as we explored the historic seaport district. The three-hour tour left us feeling full and satisfied and served up a wide variety of local dishes. Our specific tour only had two other people joining us, so it was almost like having a private Key West culinary experience. What made this tour particularly memorable was Angie's ability to bring Key West to life. As we walked from stop to stop, she shared fascinating stories about the island's past, local landmarks, and the unique blend of cultures that have shaped the community over the years. The experience felt much more personal than simply visiting restaurants on our own, giving us a deeper appreciation for the city and its people. Of course, the food was equally impressive. Each stop offered a chance to sample a different taste of Key West, and every dish showcased the flavors that make the island's culinary scene so distinctive. Our personal favorites included a fresh-caught mahi mahi taco bursting with flavor, a rich and indulgent spiny lobster mac and cheese, and, naturally, a slice of authentic Key lime pie that perfectly capped off the experience. Between the delicious food, the fascinating local stories, and Angie's warm and welcoming personality, this tour exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a great introduction to Key West's culture and cuisine, the Historic Seaport Food & Cultural Walking Tour is an experience we would gladly recommend.
We had an amazing time with this tour. Our tour guide Angela was so knowledgeable of Key West and the food stops were delicious- especially the key lime pie! Angela pointed out some history of the area and offered suggestions of things to see and do from a locals perspective. We highly recommend this tour!
We did the “Historic Seaport Food & Walking Tour” in mid-May. Our guide was energetic and informative, giving the history of Key West as we walked. (And also did a good job of periodically getting us into the shade / air-conditioning on a hot, sunny day.) The pink shrimp at Eaton Street Seafood Market and concluding slice of Key Lime Pie at The Key West Cooking Show were the highlights of the food. We found the Lobster Mac & Cheese heavy and so-so. Definitely a full meal after the five stops. Highly recommend.
Heat is very overwhelming for all the walking. Stay hydrated and pace yourself. Loved the historical information. Our guide was very articulate about events, people and cultures in the city.
This was such a fun time! Angie was amazing and the fish tacos were absolutely to die for!! I mean AMAZING!!! Timing was great pleanty of pauses and we didnt feel rushed at all! It was the highlight of my Key West trip🩷🩷
