Great guide, good tour! - I've been to Key West numerous times since 1997. I decided to do this walking tour to try something different. I'm glad I did. I knew much about Key West before the tour & I learned little more on this tour. AJ was a great guide & he also recommended some good spots off of Duval. Recommended for anyone looking to learn a little more about the island & it's history, & looking to get a locals perspective on places to go.
