We greatly appreciated Ricks recommendations on what to see and where to eat and shop in Key West. We have already taken several of his recommendations and they were great! Rick was very flexible which we liked. We got more than we expected on this tour as Rick knows a lot of the locals in Key West. We recommend Rick!

I had THE best time with Whisky Rick! He had so much information to share about Old Town Key West and was so great with my many questions. He also made eating and shopping suggestions that I followed up on. He warned me that I would be overwhelmed with information...and I was...but in a good way! This walking tour is a must for those wanting to learn more about this amazing town. And it is a lot of walking, so make sure you are ready...I was, so I wasn't overexerted. Actually, at the end of the tour, I went back to places he had pointed out in order to spend more time. When I return to Key West, I'm taking this tour again...there's just so much to learn!
