Our tour was great! The tour guide was awesome. It was educational and fun! We took many of his recommendations for food during our stay and they did not disappoint! He was very knowledgeable about key west and Ernest Hemingway! Highly recommend this tour! Best key lime pie I’ve ever had!

Our tour guide Caleb was an aspiring local author himself, so the stories he told of Hemingway were rich with lore and mystic. Caleb also added a few non-Hemingway Key West facts along the way. The tour was a well worth adventure, the food at Kermits KW pies was fresh and tasty with dessert being their famous key lime pie. Concluding the trip at the original Sloppy Joes/Captain Tony's with a Priate Punch was a perfect ending.
