Good view from the top! - We hopped off the trolley and climbed the 88 steps to the top. Fee includes the inside of the lighthouse keepers house as well. The view was really nice at the top. Winding spiral staircase. Not crowded so not an issue going up or down. If you have the time, take a climb to the top. Worth the stop. The keepers quarters interesting as well.

Fun Times - The locations provided great information about the history of the area. The Tennessee Williams staff went above and beyond to share the history of the area! It was nice to see the works of local artists and visiting displays. The Robert will give you chills!

Highly Recommend It! - Glad we did it and recommend it, especially the light keeper's cottage. Learned a lot about the history of Key West. Great views of the island too.

Only 50% accessible for mobility challenged...and no discount for only 50% of the tour. - If you're able bodied, it's a great worthwhile tour, if you're on a wheelchair or scooter... they should give you 50% off because you don't get access to everything everyone else goes. It's a little disappointing across the board because you're not allowed to take photos to show your mobility challenged friend... they should at least have a film room for the rest of the tour for ADA ppl. You get stuck with apologies that the evaluators aren't working... with an aging population who can afford KW... access should be a concern at this point.

Good for the price - Was a bit deceiving. Thought it was a guide tour thru the 4 museums not self guided. But it was ok once we figured that part out. Near to be clearer.
