Caleb rocks! Do this tour! - What a fun, engaging and KNOWLEDGEABLE tour guide! It’s so obvious that he has an appreciation for key west history. Not to mention, when everyone that walks by greets him- you know you’re with a good local. Fun stories, fun facts (some we didn’t know!) and a great walk around the island. Highly recommend!

Great experience - Loved our guide Caleb. So funny and willing to share personal life, it made the trip memorable. The key lime pie was great. My Cuban sandwich was tasty - albeit a little soggy. Caleb explained he had to pick up sandwiches to take to our seats bc the key lime shop was remodeling the restaurant. It was still good. Caleb is also a comedian. We are probably going to see him this week.

In Tune with Hemingway in Key West - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Caleb. He is very warm and engaging, and his colorful curation of Ernest Hemingway's life and times in Key West was fascinating and fun. He was able to make something he does frequently feel fresh. We enjoyed getting to know him and seeing Key West through the eyes of a Hemingway aficionado.

Lousy - The company tried to switch our tour twice and when we wouldn’t switch due to other plans so they canceled all together. My feeling was they didn’t have enough bookings to bother. Now to fight and get my refund.
