Must do for Jimmy Buffett Fans fins up! - Amazing tour with Caleb. Lots of history about JB and so much fun! I thought I knew almost everything about my favorite singer/songwriter but as it turns out I had so much to learn!

Interesting, Entertaining, and Fun - We had a great time on this tour. My husband loves Jimmy Buffett and has seen him perform numerous times, while I'm more of a newbie, but we both enjoyed it. Caleb was our guide, and he was fun, entertaining, interesting, and full of positive energy. Loved all his stories and photos and getting to see the various Buffett spots around Key West, particularly the studio where he recorded some of his albums, Fausto's, and Caroline Street. We have always wondered what that mysterious sticker-covered building was, and it's nice that it now stands as a tribute to Jimmy and his music. The tour takes you around town and past the harbor area. I'd recommend wearing good walking shoes and bringing bottled water with you. We enjoyed a slice of Key lime pie at Kermit's and were given a couple of small bottled margaritas to take with us at the end of the tour. My only suggestion would be to allow people a minute or two to take photos at the end of each stop. Overall we had a terrific time and recommend this tour for Parrot Heads and regular folks alike.

Jimmy Buffet tour! - We were very entertained with our guide Caleb and his knowledge of all things Jimmy Buffet. He was funny and the walk around town was enjoyable. The stop at Kermit's was much needed for water and pie! Thanks for a great day!

This is a great tour, and Caleb was wonderful. - This was a very informative tour! Our tour guide Caleb, was so knowledgeable about the history of Jimmy Buffett’s live on Key West and other places as well. Caleb made the tour fun with trivia questions and other fun games. It was fun to learn about the recording studio, we had walked passed that building several times and had know idea what was inside. Can’t wait to come back and see Caleb in the Jimmy Buffett tribute dinner show!

A Fun Way to Spend a Couple of Hours in Key West - This was such a fun and informative tour with a personable, friendly guide. Caleb was interesting and humorous and very considerate of my husband's medical condition which made for slow walking. We highly recommend!

No Show - The tour guide did not show up. I had built my vacation in Key West around this tour and it is very disappointing. I waited for about a half hour, but no sign of them.
