JP was our guide and he did a wonderful job. We are life long Jimmy Buffett fans and we learned things we didn’t know. Not only about Jimmy Buffett but also about Key West!
Wow!!! Thanks for such a great review which describes our tour so well.
Awesome tour. Gwen was very much amazing! The information was great and just walking around Key West was fun. We got to meet Kermit when we had key lime pie.
Thanks John for such an awesome review!!! So glad you got to enjoy our special tour!!!
You don't have to be a huge Jimmy fan to appreciate this tour. His impact on this town is enormous. It was great getting key lime pie along the way.
This was not good. The tour guide knew very little, if anything, about Buffett. He simply read one or two sentences from a binder at each stop. He was factually incorrect about key details in Buffett history and was unable to answer basic follow-up questions from the group. Technically, he didn't know how to operate his headset and speaker, so people kept telling him they couldn't hear him. He also talked with his back to the group, which made him even more difficult to understand. If you're a parrothead or just a casual Buffett fan, you'll know way more about Jimmy than this tourguide. Don't waste your money.
Hi Chad, this is an extremely strange situation. We had a tour guide who thought it was a good idea to send her boyfriend to do the tour instead of herself. Bad idea! We were totally unaware of this until your review. We deeply apologize for what happened on your tour and want to make it up to you by offering you free vouchers to any of our tours on a future visit to Key West.
This was a fun and informative tour, and our guide (J.P.) was excellent. I would recommend this tour to any Jimmy Buffett fan.
Thanks Brian for the great review! So glad you enjoyed our tour!!!
Emily was amazing and certainly a major fan and also her love of Key West shown through. Thought i was a fan, but dang I learned a lot! She was funny but knowledgeable. She also was sincerely patient with my 9 & 10 yr old grands as they asked question after question. Relaxing tour and the pace wasn't too bad. One of the best laid back tours we have ever taken!
Sweeeeett! Thank you for the great review.. So glad we could get you in a Key West State of mind. Glad the grand kids enjoyed it too! I'm sure that would make Jimmy laugh too.
Emily was great! Her passion for KW was obvious. She told us ahead of time she would be mixing other aspects of KW with her Jimmy knowledge and that’s ok. She was off on a couple of facts but that’s ok
Thanks Mark for the great review.. When you get a chance send us an application and you can be our tour guide.. It's amazing what a smile and good attitude can do!
This was a great tour visiting Jimmy Buffett's old stomping grounds. Lots of good information about his time in Key West.
Thanks Tom!!! Glad you enjoyed our tour!!!
This was a nice walking tour, and Gwen was great! Good introduction to some spots around town. Fun experience!
Thanks for the Great Review Adam!!!
The tour was ok for a casual JB fan. Guide knew basics and it was nice to walk around old Key West. Pie was good, however margarita at the end was a bottled wine margarita mix. It was a Miss by this company to do something special.
Thanks James for the 4 star review!!!
