Worthwhile Trip to the Keys - The trip was great. Although the travel time was very long it was worthwhile. There were enough options to explore. Key West is beautiful and relaxing! The tour guide, Louis, was great and personable. He was very informative and realistic regarding timing. If you are thinking about it just book. Prepare for the long ride and stops going and coming and stay open to the overall experience.

Nice adventure great to have someone else drive - Tour of Key West by trolley. Interesting places to see and hear about the history of the island. Did not like the newer buildings and big name brands

Overall a good experience - The trip to Key West was overall a good experience. Our guide was wonderful along the ride and gave lots of information about the history of the overseas highway and things to do in Key West. The only thing I will say is that with all the stops along the way, the 4 hour bus ride was 7 for us on the way there, who were picked up first and about 5 on the way back. Not sure I would do that again but I think for the price, it’s worth it. Just really good to plan ahead for what you will be doing in key west, it’s difficult to navigate, even with the map.

Great trip to Key West - Wonderful experience. Great tour professionals. Bus inappropriate for long distances: no room for bags or water bottles and no cell phone chargers. Time saving on return trip for travellers coming from Fort Lauderdale.

Long buss ride, but glad I went - It was a long journey for a short amount of time there, but worth it I think. We got picked up in Ft. Lauderdale at 5:30 am and didn't get to Key West till after noon. There were a lot of stops in Miami. We had a car and could have almost driven there and back in that time seeing as how we left our condo at 4:45 am. But it was nice to be able to leisurely look out the window and listen to the guide (Louis), who did a great job narrating. We had planned on doing the on/off trolley once we got there, but decided to do the glass bottom boat instead. No time for both. So glad we did as it was really hot and the boat ride was nice and cool. We had time before to walk to the southern most point and get a picture (plan to stand in line - we waited about 20 minutes). We took an Uber back to board the boat on time ($9.15). After the boat ride we had time for dinner and drinks, stopped for an ice cream, and got back on the bus. I'm glad I got to see Key West. Definitely wouldn't have driven it ourselves in one day. Just be aware that you will not be able to see and do much since there are long lines to get into see things like the Hemingway House.

I’d do it again - It’s legit! Was a little sketchy having to Uber to a random hotel to be picked up at 5:30am. I was very sick that morning and tried to see if we could move it to the next day and that was a no go. We chose to do this less than 24 hours before hand so we knew the option of getting the money back wasn’t going to be an option. Pay for the seats that allow you to sit in the front. You can’t really get good pictures in the other seats. The guy who did ours was as friendly as could be. He did great with telling about the areas we were in. I wish we would have done the dolphin watch or snorkeling. Don’t even think about walking everywhere. It’s hot and the beach is a mile from the bus stop. The beach isn’t a good way to get an idea of key west either. It would have been so much better if we did something on the water. Make sure by the time you get off the bus you got a good plan of what you’re doing. They sell different tickets to different things on the bus. They are really good at helping you plan it out. I would do it again!
