Meet The Locals, On Foot, At Eye Level
If you’re like us, you think of travel as more than just “going places.” You crave experience and discovery, not just monuments and museums. You want to understand what’s behind the touristic façade that most people never penetrate. That’s why the Southernmost Walking Tour is the best way to immerse you into the history and culture of Key West! When you’re on foot, the world can’t slide past you faster than you can absorb it. You’ll have time – and proximity – to get up close to the region’s culture and natural history.
Start your tour at the famous Cuban sandal factory - Kino Sandals before heading off toward the Southernmost Point of the continental United States. Along the way, our incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected local guides will show you the most popular landmarks and introduce you to local culture. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have a uniquely fun perspective of our tiny island!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
