AJ gave us an excellent historic tour of Key West. He was very professional and knowledgeable of Key West's history. The walk around Key West with the added history and explanation of events was so interesting. Great job AJ.

It was a very nice walking tour covering many of the historic parts of Key West such as Ernest Hemingway house, old Cuban consulate, light house with a history etc. The tour covered outside of the buildings except for places where it was also possible to have a brief visit inside of the buildings like the old Cuban consulate museum and church with beautiful window glass paintings. The guide was able to provide a lot of useful information about the history of Key West along with the old pictures shown using a tablet. Our group had 6 people and so was a very small group. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Key West.
