First Time Visit to Key West

Since this was our first time to Key West we took this tour to become familiar with the island. Yvonne did a great job showing us where the different sites were located. She also suggested different places to eat including Kaya Island Eats which had really good Key Lime pie. We went to Kaya Island Eats twice and did not have to wait either time. Would recommend this tour for any first time visitors to Key West.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the awesome review! We try to make every experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Thank you Troy

Whiskey Rick goes above and beyond!

Make sure to ask for Whiskey Rick! He has a detailed knowledge of all things Key West! WR conducts a customizable relaxed walking tour to suit your needs. Not only was the tour great but WR contacted me 2 days before I arrived and provided me with great tips for restaurants on the drive here as well as extremely helpful driving information. Upon completion of the tour he asked that we stay in contact with him for any information needed while on our stay here. WR goes above and beyond!

Private Tours with “Whiskey Rick” are awesome

We had a fantastic tour today with “Whiskey Rick”, our tour guide. Private tours are the way to go. We asked a ton of questions, and he definitely tailored the tour to what we were looking for (history and current happenings). We did not walk one block on Duval, but covered a large portion town on the backstreets. Rick was awesome. Fun, super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Overall, a superb morning.

Operator response

Hello Rob! I am very happy you had an amazing time with Rick! He is really good at and likes what he does. Thank you so much for the outstanding review! Keep us in mind the next time you're in the area. Thank you Troy
