Loved our guide Caleb. So funny and willing to share personal life, it made the trip memorable. The key lime pie was great. My Cuban sandwich was tasty - albeit a little soggy. Caleb explained he had to pick up sandwiches to take to our seats bc the key lime shop was remodeling the restaurant. It was still good. Caleb is also a comedian. We are probably going to see him this week.

The company tried to switch our tour twice and when we wouldn’t switch due to other plans so they canceled all together. My feeling was they didn’t have enough bookings to bother. Now to fight and get my refund.

Dear Guest, during the week of your booking, Hurricane Milton hit the state of Florida. Many people across our state lost their homes, valuables, and lives. In addition many people cancelled their tours in Key West. We always make every effort to accommodate every guest, but sometimes it just doesn't work because of uncontrollable circumstances. It's times like these that bring out the best and worst in people. Some people are understanding and others are only able to think about themselves. A full refund was issued to you on our end. Your booking was through Viator, who will determine what will be issued back to you based on their policies.
