Take The Key West Conch Train! - We happened to be the only 2 passengers on the train for our entire journey but our driver and guide Rob did not skip a beat! He made the ride so informative and fun, along with his humor and lively personality it made for a memorable time! I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the colorful history of Key West in an entertaining and personal way!

Comprehensive and well worth the price. Tour guide seemed to know his stuff! - The driver talked in a very sing song way his inflections were unique. Of course loved seeing the marker. Wish we could have gotten out for pics but the line was ridiculous! Liked his sense of humor and the stories of the different styles of homes and the story of the economic turns that Key west took

Great tour to take while in Key West, Fl - This train tour is a must do when visiting KeyWest, Fl. Driver is very informative and friendly. We took the final tour @ 430pm and it was almost empty so driver literally took her time to really point out many extra key features around her city tour. Tour does have a quick stop for restroom breaks since our's was a bit over one hour. If you purchase an earlier tour, you have the option of getting off and back on when she returns later! GetSome!!

Great history tour! - Loved this tour. Hop on and hop off. We rode all the way around to start and the driver pointed out the historical sights complete with trivia. Then we got off and walked around to shop. Really good visit to Key West!

Interesting but so uncomfortable! - We have never been to Key West and the Conch Train was recommended as a good way to see a little bit of everything. It was! Our Driver Frank was knowledgeable and funny. The only problem is it was the most uncomfortable hour and a half of my life. The seats are terrible to sit in, there is no leg room, they squish four adults into a row so you are up close and personal with strangers. Some of the seats faced backwards, and unfortunately, this is one that we were in, so we were constantly having to turn our heads to see what the driver was talking about which left our necks hurting. It also does not cover you completely from the rain, so by the end of our tour we were pretty wet. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour. Maybe rent a golf cart and follow along behind.

Really Wanted To Like It, But... - We've seen these trains go by for 10 years now, they always seemed like the Guide/Driver was sharing fun facts and pointing out interesting sights with historical stories & lore. Instead, we had a Guide (Eduardo) who seemed bored, delivered the tour in a mumbled, cynical, sing-song voice, and was humorless. We finally got off after 45 minutes as it was so disappointing. Though I would NOT recommend this $40+ tour, if you do decide to take it, talk with the Guide beforehand to make sure they have a good personality that you'd enjoy listening to for 75 minutes!

Don’t do it. - Awful experience. The live narration was awful. Not a typical hop on/off situation. The stops were in awful places not even close to most popular areas of interest. Everyone around us were complaining as well. Don’t waste your time or money!
