First time to Key West - LOTS of history!...and a FANTASTIC tour guide, Greg M.!! He was terrific. The decor was interesting, yet simple. I loved the wooden floors of the outside porch.

A Must To See! - An exceptional tour and place to visit. Our Tour Guide was excellent. This is very worthwhile to see when in Key West. The residence and furnishings along with Truman's Limo were very interesting.

Truman's Little White House in Key West Florida - The historical home was very interesting. Part of the exterior is being renovated but the inside was air conditioned and comfortable in the 98 degree heat. Our tour guide was full of interesting bits of information about how Harry Truman used the home. There is a small gift shop at the beginning and end of the tour with Truman related items.

Fascinating place! - What a great tour! Bob was an amazing guide. Knows everything about the Little White House there is to know, both the Harry Truman era as well as Kennedy’s connection. Would recommend this to anyone interested in history.

Great tour guide! - This was a great tour and our guide was fabulous. I didn’t know much about Truman and it’s pretty amazing what he was able to accomplish as president. The guide put a human spin on the president, telling stories about him and a man and husband, rather than just a president. The home is beautiful. Definitely something to see in Key West.

Harry S Truman Little White House museum Key West - Due to time constraints during my March 2023 visit, I did not enter the museum. The GPS was no help. I was looking for another point of interest when I came across it. One street over from the museum is a Private Neighborhood access entrance denoted by prominent museum signage on the wall. Only private residents and their guests cars beyond this point. The museum iron gate surrounds well a manicured lawn which boasts the Key West Home draped by flags which includes history markers to enlighten you. The vehicle sits outside under a canopy garage. Key West is an enchanting destination.

Wonderful piece of history - A wonderful gem to visit in Key West. The history behind this building is amazing and our tour guide Bob was the absolute best! He even wrote a book about the history of the building and the presidents that stayed there. They did a great job restoring the place to be exactly how it was when Truman was there. My only negative about this experience was the price - $23 per adult. Kids pricing ($10) is only available if they are 12 or younger. I felt for the time it takes to do the tour and what you can explore on your own (very little) this was a little overpriced. If you are a history buff then maybe you see more value in what you are paying.

Tour full of info but shop & toilets already closed before it finished - Great tour with entertaining guide fully of interesting info & anecdotes. Sadly we were the last tour of the day which ended at 4.30pm today. As the tour finished the shop & restrooms were already closed despite the signs saying 4.45pm closure - a very disappointed group of about 20 visitors from various nationalities. Definitely worth going but Make sure you get there earlier & don’t believe their times.

OK but I Won’t be Returning - 31st July 2024. The tour cost $68.85 for three of us. We were met by what seemed like quite a ‘surly’ lady who told us that we could only visit the shop and grounds without a tour. Bob was a great guide and spoke well. However, I did feel a lack of sensitivity over the Hiroshima bomb (approved by Truman) and then a second one which apparently, he might not have approved!! The tour is five rooms. A breakfast/bar type room, a dining room, two bedrooms and an area outside the bedrooms. I got the feeling that the house was quite small until I saw it from the outside. So I guess it is quite limited in what you are actually being shown. I’d read about a presidential car, but we saw no sign of it. We finished our tour 15 minutes before closing. Gift shop was nice but the rest room was locked. We asked in the shop but the lady had no key and Bob advised us to go to a public rest room 15 minutes walk further down the road. The ‘surly’ lady had gone and it seems that she might have had the key. In the heat of Key West, the walk to the rest room for a 70 year old man and his 60 year old wife is not nice. The staff didn’t didn’t care and didn’t really want to know. I’m not sure whether I’d recommend this or not. I won’t visit again because it’s quite expensive really, for a limited tour. In contrast to another visit that we did, this seemed restrictive and had what seemed like slightly tetchy staff. The Butterfly Centre up the road by contrast was cheaper, you could stay as long as you like, you could leave and come back, they had open restrooms and the staff were lovely. Huge contrast to this dark house where you aren’t allowed to photograph and even if you did, it’s very dark and it contains staff who don’t seem to have much to do with you really, except Bob with his talk.
