Excellent tour. AJ was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The pace was leisurely. It was nice to do it at 9am before it was too busy or hot. It was great to get a different perspective of Key West outside of tourism. Highly recommended.

The best experience…. AJ is the great guide , so knowledgeable about history and city in general. Worth every penny. Explore Key West with the best.

Key West's deep history is too easily shadowed by libation and relaxation - but this tour is perfect, a historical primer and living lesson of Key West's culture of acceptance, with AJ as our fantastic guide. His knowledge about Key West's history and culture was infectious. Our group of 8 found that his tour was just what we needed to get comfortable with the area. Plus, he's got great recommendations for food and activities. Spot-on

This is a “must do”. Don’t get pulled in on bike tours or trolleys. Put on your shoes and be ready to be informed and entertained. Alejandro is a highly knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, full of interesting and quirky stories of the history of Key West. Even after coming to Key West for 24 years, I learned new and often humorous and/enlightening information. He augments the tour with excellent photos from the past of the same places that you are seeing, adding details that make it all come alive. GREAT TOUR!!!

AJ was awesome! Really kind person, helpful and he gives the best advice about where to go and have the best time in your vacations. I highly recommend it. So far the best one for many that i did. He lives in key west for so many years and he knows so much history about the island.

Today we had a walking tour with AJ! He was very informing and showed us some awesome sites. We will definitely leave Key West with a better understanding of its History and culture. AJ appeared to love sharing his knowledge with us…felt like we made an instant friend! Thank you, Louis and Muriel

AJ was a knowledgeable tour guide. Very friendly. Great knowledge of the area and very interesting. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

AJ was a great tour guide. Got to see a lot during the 1.5-mile walk, with plenty of stops in the shade. Definitely recommended to learn more about the interesting history of Key West and get some tips on the best times to visit other attractions like the Hemingway House and Butterfly Sanctuary.

The best thing we did in Key West. AJ is amazing! We learned so much about the history of the island and things to do off the beaten path. You won’t be disappointed!

This is a must do tour and should be at the start of your vacation but will enjoy and learn even if you have been to Key West before. Several people had said “Don’t pay for a tour, just walk on your own.” So glad I had already booked this tour. Our guide, A.J, was fantastic! We started outside the Kino Sandal Store and ended the tour with AJ taking our picture at the Southern most point ionic landmark. He knew how to take a great picture without waiting in the long line. That alone was worth the price of the tour! AJ stopped in the shade (thank you!) to tell us about local buildings, history of Key West with funny tidbits thrown in. We learned so much about Key West in a short (an hour and 15 minutes I think) and entertaining way. He books 10 or less people in a tour and uses an ipad to bring the history to life with old pictures. AJ shared places to visit: buildings, tours, activities, restaurants and local bars. My husband enjoyed the tour also even though I pushed him to go. Our tour started at 9:00am when it is cooler and quiter. Yes, I would recommend this tour and the local guide AJ! Most of the pictures I included are from the tour and the 2 from Mallory Square Sunset Celebration are reminders of the many free and fun activities to do in Key West. We did this tour instead of the trolleys/trains for the more personal and up close touch but would still benefit and learn if already have done a ride on tour. This walking tour does not go inside any buildings. It guides you on the culture and history of Old Key West and what moulded it into todays Key West.

You'll only want to do this once but folks that you travel with will want to do it for the first time too. It's a cool picture to take but go too late and the line is unbearable. Morning or evening would be best.

Our guide AJ was great. Very informative and an excellent historical overview of Key West. We saw parts of the area we would not have and learned things we would have missed had we not taken the tour.

Our guide is a native Key West and gave us many interesting stories about the sites he took us to. Very good experience!

My wife and I highly recommend this walking tour with Alejandro (AJ). We took this our first day in Key West, and it gave us all the information we needed to make the rest of our week amazing. He is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us in the shade as much as possible as it was a hot day. If you wanted to learn more about the history of Key West, take this tour!

This is a great experience. It’s low key. Not too many people. Quiet. Tasteful. AJ is an awesome tour guide, a pleasure to listen to. Fun, knowledgeable, holds your attention the whole time.
