Key West is famous as mainland America's Caribbean resort town. Here, time slows down as the island vibes take over. But there is more to this island than umbrella drinks and warm breezes.
Key West has an incredible history, from its origins as a maritime village that profited heavily from salvaging wrecked ships and crews along the Great Florida Reef a few miles offshore, to the creation of the micro-state known as the Conch Republic. While in Key West, you will want to visit many of the sites that make the island distinct such as the Key West Lighthouse, the Hemingway House, the Little White House, and Southernmost Point.
On this tour, you will visit all of these and more, stopping for refreshments along the way at many of the island's signature restaurants and bars. You will hear stories of some of the island's more famous residents along with some lesser-known tales that have given Key West its unique place in American culture and history.

Full disclosure, I haven't been to Key West but it's on my list of places to see. I really enjoyed this audio tour, especially the parts about Ernest Hemingway. It was helpful and entertaining to have the history of Key West peppered into the tour and the storytelling was perfect. I felt like I was really there. Highly recommend!

We had one day to explore Key West while on a cruise. This tour took us around to all the highlights in Old Town Key West. It’s a choose your own adventure tour, stopping in at the places that interest you the most, and passing by the places that do not.
We made stops at Capt. Tony’s, Sloppy Joes (of course), Kermit’s Key Lime Pie (delicious), First Flight Brewery, San Carlos Institute (free admission), and the Hemingway House (the cats!).
Unlike other audio tours, this one has stories and dialogue as you walk and doesn’t just talk about the various points of interest, so it’s interesting the whole time.
I do recommend headphones, though. There’s a lot going on in the streets of Key West, and it can get a bit noisy.
