Great history tour - Alejandro was an engaging guide with great stories to illustrate the intertwining history of Key West. Using photos and old maps as aids, he helped us understand the influences of early inhabitants to Spanish arrival, to Ponce de Leon, as well as the role of Key West in International shipping, Cuban cigars, and Spanish galleon rescues (legal piracy?). We gained a different understanding of the importance of Key West in the civil war and what an economic powerhouse it was in the American Economy prior to 1930. We enjoyed learning and seeing the history with Alejandro.

Awesome walking tour. - A great introduction to Key West. Our guide AJ was excellent. His knowledge along with showing pictures on his IPAD of what areas and buildings looked like in the past gave you a real feel for the places we visited. He made the tour fun as well as informative. AJ made the tour interactive providing time for questions as well as suggestions of must see places and restaurants. So glad we picked this tour! Very satisfying and enjoyable!

Great morning - Met AJ and few other folks on a beautiful morning. AJ was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, friendly…This was a great way to meet other travelers too. Nice folks all around. I am enjoying my stay more that I have the “lay of the land” and I really appreciate all of the history AJ shared.

Great tour, with fantastic guide - A great tour, we learnt so much in a two hour (easy) walk around Key West, taking in all the major sights and thus understanding the things to go back to. The iPad with pictures was a real plus so we could understand how the town developed (it helped that there were only four of us - it was a "small group" walking tour after all) - our guide was engaging and interesting and we would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great tour! - Great historical context for the sights of KW. AJ was as knowledgeable off-script as well. We had a great stroll. Tip: take the tour early in your visit.
