Delightful and Informative Key West Walking Tour - Our Key West trip was during the off season, which resulted in a private tour for my husband and I. Alejandro (AJ) provided lots of historical information in a well-researched, entertaining and approachable way. He answered all our questions and provided insights we could not have found by just searching online. We highly recommend this exceptional walking tour!

Informative and Enjoyable - AJ was super knowledgeable and shared plenty of interesting local history, beyond some of the popular tourist stuff. Made us want to read more about Key West in the 1800s and early 1900s. Thank you AJ!

Great history tour - Alejandro was an engaging guide with great stories to illustrate the intertwining history of Key West. Using photos and old maps as aids, he helped us understand the influences of early inhabitants to Spanish arrival, to Ponce de Leon, as well as the role of Key West in International shipping, Cuban cigars, and Spanish galleon rescues (legal piracy?). We gained a different understanding of the importance of Key West in the civil war and what an economic powerhouse it was in the American Economy prior to 1930. We enjoyed learning and seeing the history with Alejandro.
