4 from Iowa - The Jimmy Buffet tour was fun and very informative! It was a nice walk around town with Caleb who did a great job of telling us all about Jimmy Buffet and the things he did and where he did them with some of his own personal stories and connections sprinkled in. I would recommend this tour if you have any interest in Jimmy as long as you don't have trouble walking a ways with the group. The only negative of the tour was that sometimes it was hard to hear Caleb with the traffic but he did a great job keeping us entertained!

Good Jimmy Buffett tour - Our tour guide kept us on a good pace for this interesting tour. We enjoyed seeing some places from Jimmy Buffett‘s life in Key West. The things that we learned and saw probably most people don’t see or know how the places were an important part of Jimmy Buffett’s life. We got an excellent piece of Key lime pie at Kermit’s. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Caleb is Awesome - It was a super rainy day and the streets flooded. But Caleb made the tour awesome. He was so smart and helpful. He was funny and helpful bringing Umbrellas and rain Ponchos. I am so glad he encouraged us to go in the rain!

"Back To The Island" - Caleb was very knowledgeable, engaging, and an excellent tour guide! He made the tour fun and gave us a lot of information about Jimmy Buffet that some of us didn't know! It's a great tour and walking it helps you get oriented to different places if you're a first timer in Key West.

Had a most excellent time. - Very informative and personable. Guide was able to work with the ambient noise and foot/vehicle traffic so we could hear all that was being said.

Fun and interesting even if you are not a Parrothead! - Caleb was EXCELLENT! He shared lots of interesting info specifically about Jimmy Buffett, his career, and time on the island as well as some of his friends. Also has great info on the lore of the island as it relates to Jimmy, tossed in with some “name that tune” and background on some of his songs. We consider ourselves Parrotheads and enjoyed it! Someone had a questions that he said he would follow up on … and shortly after our tour he sent a text with the answer! Also, good walking tours are led by guides who speak clearly and loud enough for everyone to hear … he does that very well … he is upbeat, fun, and engaging. The key lime pie and Margaritas are a nice addition!

Great history lesson - Fantastic morning walking through Jimmy’s early days. Liz, our guide, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She took great care in making sure we had all questions answered and we all felt the full appreciation for how Jimmy touched Key West.
