This is the gold standard of walking tours of Key West. In fact, it is the gold standard of any tour of Key West and is the best way for any visitor who arrives on this island to see the historic city. Richard’s passion for Key West and personal knowledge of the island makes the tour unique and special. I have taken tours of Key West by train, trolley, boat and car and none of the tours provided the personal experience that Richard provides as a tour guide. If I could give this tour more than five stars I would. If you are coming to Key West for vacation, book this tour first.

A truly unique and worthwhile experience! With his family’s roots in Key West dating back for many years, Richard offered a thoughtful and highly informative tour with some great personal insights and recommendations. It felt more intimate and less ‘touristy’ compared to other larger tours. It is a great activity if you’re interested in learning more about Key West’s history and receiving recommendations on spots to eat well and have fun on your trip!

Richard was a fantastic story teller and even kept the attention of our two teenagers! It was the perfect amount of time, history and facts. The distance walking was very doable too.
