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 tour, we learnt so much in a two hour (easy) walk around Key West, taking in all the major sights and thus understanding the things to go back to. The iPad with pictures was a real plus so we could understand how the town developed (it helped that there were only four of us - it was a "small group" walking tour after all) - our guide was engaging and interesting and we would thoroughly recommend this tour.
