Southernmost Key West History and Culture Small-Group Walking Tour

Overview

Meet The Locals, On Foot, At Eye Level

If you’re like us, you think of travel as more than just “going places.” You crave experience and discovery, not just monuments and museums. You want to understand what’s behind the touristic façade that most people never penetrate. That’s why the Southernmost Walking Tour is the best way to immerse you into the history and culture of Key West! When you’re on foot, the world can’t slide past you faster than you can absorb it. You’ll have time – and proximity – to get up close to the region’s culture and natural history.

Start your tour at the famous Cuban sandal factory - Kino Sandals before heading off toward the Southernmost Point of the continental United States. Along the way, our incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected local guides will show you the most popular landmarks and introduce you to local culture. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have a uniquely fun perspective of our tiny island!

A great introduction to Key West. Our guide AJ was excellent. His knowledge along with showing pictures on his IPAD of what areas and buildings looked like in the past gave you a real feel for the places we visited. He made the tour fun as well as informative. AJ made the tour interactive providing time for questions as well as suggestions of must see places and restaurants. So glad we picked this tour! Very satisfying and enjoyable!

Met AJ and few other folks on a beautiful morning. AJ was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, friendly…This was a great way to meet other travelers too. Nice folks all around. I am enjoying my stay more that I have the “lay of the land” and I really appreciate all of the history AJ shared.
