Excellent Guide for our Jimmy Buffett Tour - Our tour guide was great with a super upbeat personality and very knowledgeable about Jimmy Buffett. The walking tour is about 2 miles, so wear comfortable shoes. The tour ends at Captain Tony's and she handed us a mini bottle of Chi Chi's brand of a Margarita, which was lame. I think it should have ended with a drink inside Captain Tony's. Otherwise, it was amazing!
