This was a fascinating and fabulous walking tour! The tour guide, Caleb, made all the difference in the world. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things Hemingway and kept the conversation lively throughout the entire walking tour also included in our tour that we didn’t even realize it was lunch and a rum punch WITH amazing Keylime pie for dessert. It was a warm sunny day and as I stated, Caleb was a fabulous guide. We’re so happy we took this tour and learned so much—good stuff ‼️

Caleb was a great guide. Warm, friendly, and told some great stories about Hemingway. Was a perfect addition to the Hemingway House tour which we did afterward. Love the Kermit stop for food and drink. Gave some great recommendations around the island and had some delightful personal stories to tell about his experience in Key West.

Caleb was a wonderful tour guide! We loved learning about Hemingway from him as we walked through parts of Key West! Happy we did the tour early in our visit so we knew a bit more about the history of where we were.

Liz was a perfect tour guide. This walking tour was full of information, and we got a better feel for downtown Key West.

This is a wonderful way to get to know Key West and appreciate the Key West that Hemingway knew. While the tour does not include a tour of Hemingway's residence on Whitehead Street, the tour does visit most of the places that Hemingway frequented. Our tour guide, Caleb, was excellent. A novelist himself, he had an excellent knowledge of Hemingway's life and writings. His stories about Hemingway and his influence on Key West added an extra dimension to our discovery of the history and culture of Key West. The tour included an early lunch at Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe which included a slice of its famous Key Lime Pie. It was a great way to spend the morning.

Caleb walked us around the neighborhood of Hemingway house and gave us a great history of the man and the area. He was very articulate and provided many insightful observations of lesser known facts about him. He also provided a good intro into the living history of Key West. The meal was very good too.

JimKennedy_C

Our guide had really done his homework! As we walked through areas of Key West associated with the author, he related stories of Hemingway's life that really gave the flavor of what life was like here in the 20s and 30s. Plus, he was extremely engaging and personable. It was a great experience.

Caleb was excellent! We had a great time and learned a lot. This was our first time to Key West, and this tour gave us great insight into this remarkable town and its history.

Loved Liz our tour guide and the little facts she knew about KW and Hemingway! She was very good at keeping all of the group interested!

Liz, the tour guide is friendly, informative and organized. It’s a well paced tour and we learned a lot about Hemingway and a bunch about the island also. Would recommend the tour to anyone who can handle an approximate 1.5 mile casual walk and can hear normally. It can be a little noisy along the way.
