Fun, Informative. Highly recommended. - Excellent tour. AJ was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The pace was leisurely. It was nice to do it at 9am before it was too busy or hot. It was great to get a different perspective of Key West outside of tourism. Highly recommended.

Want to fall in love with Key West? Take this tour. - Key West's deep history is too easily shadowed by libation and relaxation - but this tour is perfect, a historical primer and living lesson of Key West's culture of acceptance, with AJ as our fantastic guide. His knowledge about Key West's history and culture was infectious. Our group of 8 found that his tour was just what we needed to get comfortable with the area. Plus, he's got great recommendations for food and activities. Spot-on

Key West Walking History & Culture tour. - The guide on this walking tour did an excellent job explaining the history of Key West. I was glad we went early in the morn to beat the heat. I thought it included entry to the Hemmingway House but it did not. We just went back there later. We enjoyed the info & tour.

Really enjoyed this tour! - AJ was a great guide. He provided interesting history and background on Key West's history and some of its buildings and made the tour fun and interesting. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. After the tour we went to one of the restaurants AJ recommended and had some delicious key lime pie. We also stopped in Mel Fisher's jewelry store that AJ told us about and learned more about the Spanish shipwreck (the Atocha) that Mel Fisher discovered and looked at actual pieces of silver that were recovered from the shipwreck. We highly recommend this tour.

History comes alive!!! A must do!!! - This is a “must do”. Don’t get pulled in on bike tours or trolleys. Put on your shoes and be ready to be informed and entertained. Alejandro is a highly knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, full of interesting and quirky stories of the history of Key West. Even after coming to Key West for 24 years, I learned new and often humorous and/enlightening information. He augments the tour with excellent photos from the past of the same places that you are seeing, adding details that make it all come alive. GREAT TOUR!!!

Be able to understand spanglish - This tour was average. The tour guide was very hard to understand because of the language barrier even though we signed up for English tour guide. When it was half over the guide didn't have much to show us except a walk from downtown to the southern most point. I wish there was more history to learn between those 2 points.
