So much to see and hear! - This tour was great fun! We received some stories of Jimmy Buffett's early life, and walked to see the locations where he got his start - where he performed, where he lived, and where he ate. Liz also wove in a bit of Key West history, which really added depth to the tour.

My thoughts - This tour is pretty lame doesn't mention the other 2 places he lived in key west. Nobody cares about where Hemingway 1st stayed in key west nor do we care about a sign on a building saying nothing happened on a certain date nor do we care about the color of a roof on a porch regarding ghosts. Don't point to where the chart room is where he 1st played take the guests on the tour to the bar. Regarding the studio might be a idea mentioning the 1st album he recorded in the studio. Wasting time eating key lime at kermits and a small little margarita bottle. This tour is an embarrassment to his legacy

😒 - This "Parrot head" was looking forward to this tour, UNFORTUNATELY, we missed it due to the boat race crowd that delayed our ability to find a parking spot. We were a good 10+ minutes early, but lost a good 20+ minutes in standstill traffic trying to get into the Park. Also, we were NOT notified about the change of tour time until late Saturday evening.
