Excellent for history buffs. We learned a lot about Key West. Fun atmosphere with corny jokes. Recommend sitting closer to the middle of the train, as it's a little better covered from the sun than the front rows. Stops in 2 places where you can exit the train before it returns to the "stati...
Excellent for history buffs. We learned a lot about Key West. Fun atmosphere with corny jokes. Recommend sitting closer to the middle of the train, as it's a little better covered from the sun than the front rows. Stops in 2 places where you can exit the train before it returns to the "station". A great way to get a good overview of where everything is located, too.We had actually taken the trolley tour the day before for the hop on and off feature, and we were happy to find that this tour was worth it as well, in that it was different.

We had actually taken the trolley tour the day before for the hop on and off feature, and we were happy to find that this tour was worth it as well, in that it was different. It was narrated with an interesting driver and drove a slightly different itinerary than the trolley. I think this pointed out more historic sights and also did make a stop at the Hemingway House. We got off, toured the house, and came back to the designated stop at our leisure. It also made a bathroom stop. Just a tip, don’t ignore the driver’s warning to take off hats, we almost lost one because of the breeze.Great tour with information about everything Key West landmarks, parks, homes, etc. So glad we took this tour. It was time well spent

I always enjoy these types of tours but this one was not up to my expectations. I could barely hear the guide due to the road work noise and the many trucks idling with refrig units on. The sound level of the speakers was too low. The ticket vendor told me $37 each, then charged me $89.70. When I said that this didn't add up, she said "it's the taxes". She then said "I'll give you a discount" and charged me $79.70. My brother in law had already paid for his 2 tickets and had been charged $89.70. The vendor would not refund the $10 overcharge. My complaints to the operator were ignored. Worst, a group of 14 we're sold tickets and were unable to take the tour as the last train of the day had left. They were flying out of Key West the next morning. These people give the tourist industry a bad name.Lots of cool information about key west history. It was pouring when we started and they offered ponchos. Turned out fine. You can get on and off this one as well and it's a lot cheaper
