Attended this tour on the recommendation of a random cafe owner. So glad I signed up- this tour brought a new level of interest to the sights I have been seeing here in Key West. It truly is a richly layered place with so much history you will never appreciate on your own. The best parts, like everywhere else, lie in the nooks and crannies where the real meat is. Get to the bone. Take this tour- it is well worth your time, cobbles together many “must see” sights and brings them to life beyond a simple photo snap. But you’ll also appreciate learning about the exotic trees and plants that you’ll likely not see at home. To my surprise, this was one of my favorite “memories” of my time here.
