A fun tour of Key West art, past and present! - We had an amazing time on this tour! It was a small group and very personalized - Lindsey made it very special! We got to hear about the rich history and art culture of Key West, and even meet current artists and see their work. It was a special way to see parts of Key West off the beaten path, and gain a deep appreciation for the past and present. Top it all off with a cocktail to end the tour - it is an outing not to be missed!!

Such incredible insight - We have lived here for over 10 years and never knew how amazing an art tour around downtown key west really could be. This was such an incredible tour and Ryan was extremely knowledgeable and fun. We learned about artists who we were not familiar with and also learned more about history and art that we thought we knew alot. The best part was going to see the local working artists at the galleries. Thanks again Ryan for providing such an incredible background about the art itself.

Art history museum - Seeing the art displayed at the museum of art and history, of my friends uncle, Mario Sanchez. We only wanted to go to the museum, but Lindsey and Ryan are so knowledgeable we kept on going and so glad we did. I think we could have spent the whole day with them. Highly highly highly recommend them as tour guides.

10 out of 10; Would Recommend! - Lindsey was our guide. She was great! If you want to experience local art and culture, you want a more off the beaten path and not so touristy adventure; this is a good choice. Well worth your time and money.

Fun alternative option - We had a fantastic time. It was pouring the morning of our tour and they were able to reschedule to the afternoon. The tour definitely provided an insider look at the Key West art scene, both historically and now. We are returning to some of the galleries tomorrow to purchase something for home. Was not an excessive amount of walking either.

Fascinating art tour! - Fascinating tour of Key West’s vibrant artist community! Lindsey was a wonderful guide and shared so many interesting spaces. The Customs House art museum, galleries with the opportunity to talk to the owners, a cigar producer, a family owned leather sandal producer and a rum distillery complete with a chance to relax and enjoy a drink. I highly recommend this tour!
