The walking tour was a good welcome to Key West, especially for those who have never been there before. The tour guide was very personable and offered several suggestions for restaurants and entertainment along Duval St.

Thank you for your time to write a review. Your comments indicate that your tour was a good welcome to Key West, but you only chose three stars. It is indeed perfect for first-time visitors, but also customizable for experienced visitors. If you feel we can improve our tour, please give me a call or send me an email so we know how we can earn your 5-star review.

I was specifically wanting to become more familiar with the layout of the town in a short period. Rick did a great job of tailoring the tour to those expectations. I feel like I can now go or direct others to areas that are of specific interest to me. Thanks so much, Rick! I really liked the local perspectives you gave. Prior to the tour Rick contacted me to find out what I wanted to see and I mentioned seeing the fireworks without hanging out on the beach. He gave information that allowed me to watch the fireworks eating a delicious meal knowing I was contributing to scholarships for high school seniors. It was also nice to meet different people who live on the islands. When the walking tour was over I enjoyed a guided tour that Rick gave in the Truman White House. Probably wouldn’t have done that again but was having such a good day walking and enjoying the island. Great way to explore the island from the Atlantic to the Gulf. I will definitely contact Rick before returning to Key West.
