One of the best tours in Key West - What a fun tour! As a lifelong Parrothead, this was a must-do for me while I was in Key West. Our guide, Caleb, was fantastic. He was enthusiastic, had a great sense of humor, and he seemed to enjoy himself as much as we did. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Key West

Fantastic Tour - One of the best tours I've done in a while. Caleb was knowledgeable, funny and genuinely friendly. He had clearly done his own research on Jimmy and Key West. I would highly recommend this tour to any Parrot Head!

Buffett tour - Caleb did a great job with the tour. He told me a ton of things that I did not know about Jimmy. He was interesting and very knowledgeable about the history.

Great Jimmy Buffett walking tour! - I toured with my husband and two good friends. Our tour guide, Caleb, was great! He knew so many facts about Buffett, and the tour was very well organized. All of us have been Jimmy Buffett fans since the early 80s, however we still learned many interesting things about Buffett that we didn't know before. And also a lot about different places in Key West. I would definitely recommend this tour to all Buffett fans visiting Key West.

Great experience. - The tour was pretty interesting if you're a Hemingway fan. Our tour guide (Caleb) did a great job not only explaining what was significant at each of the stops but also providing some background and context in Hemingway's time in Key West. Caleb was very knowledgeable about Hemingway's career and personal life which made the tour so much more interesting. I would definitely recommend the tour especially if Caleb is your guide.

The tour was just ok - The tour was ok, I wish it was a little more details. Also it was very hard to hear the narrator. As I am a Parrot Head I knew just a little more history of Jimmy Buffet.
