Scott was very knowledgeable about the area. He was very personable and made the trip enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Our group of friends had a blast! Maddie was so accommodating and kind to book with and Scott made sure our trip went smoothly. Great communication and comfortable vehicle to explore the keys in!

We spent a fun afternoon with Maddy. She introduced us to places that we had not visited, despite this being our 4th trip to KW. She is a gracious, typically nice Canadian who aims to please. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to give you a tour of the area. We saw many key deer, a couple of huge alligators and walked the historic bridges of the Keys. She also offered some recommendations of other things to see, restaurants, etc. we were offered cold water and granola bar during the tour. The van is comfortable and very nice. She offered to stop at a local coffee shop to grab some coffee but we had just eaten lunch before the tour. Put this tour on your to do list, especially if it’s your first trip to the Keys.

We booked a private trip for 10 of us from Key West up to Marathon with 4 other stops on various keys for our own personal booze cruise. Maddy was awesome helping me choose some fun sites for our group. The van was prompt on pickup and was very open to letting us navigate our day if we wanted to make any last minute changes. I would definitely recommend!

This was a private tour, meaning just the two of us were on the 15 person van. We rented a car for our Keys trip, so it was kinda odd that we did this. I thought it was more of a "party" trip with others. For some reason, I also thought beverages were included; they are not, except water. The driver was wonderful and knew lots about the Keys and Key West in particular. You don't actually stop anywhere though. You get driven past the sight seeing highlights in Key West, which helps you get the lay of the land. Hours of free time and sun set watching on your own. Key West is plenty walkable so it was fun. I just wouldn't spend this much money to be driven anywhere again. To be clear, although I was confused on what the tour involved, the tour company called me the day before and made it clear we would not be stopping anywhere, just driving past sites.

Meghan was so friendly and informative. We learned a lot of local history from her. Her tips of where to go on the island were spot on. Mikey was very accommodating and friendly. He got us home safe and sound. Highly recommend!

Kim is AWESOME!! She took a large group of us from Key West up to the two Breweries in Islamorada. We made a lot of pits stops along the way and back ... She kept us on task and told us a lot about the areas and sites as we made the drive. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Kim if your needing a tour guide/driver. KIM ROCKS!!!

Craig F

Kim is the best. She picked up our group of 10 adults and took us to our choice of breweries and bars up the Keys. She was entertaining and kept us informed of where we were and lots of great information.

Even though UTK is based in Key West, the driver kindly agreed to pick us up from our hotel in Marathon. He was knowledgeable, kind, and fun to chat with throughout the tour. He made sure that we got to see all of the cool stuff the Keys has to offer, including the history of bridges, finding Key deer in the backroads of Big Pine Key, and pointing out the gator at Blue Hole. This is a great trip! Even though my husband and I were the only two who booked that day, they still did the trip no problem. Highly recommend to get a little taste of the Keys out in nature.

Vickerydk

On Jan. 15th our party of 4 used Up The Keys to transport us to Key West and give us the opportunity to sit back, relax, and drink some adult beverages. Riding with Kim was a great find. Kim is very personable, knowledgeable, and made our trip quite enjoyable. Thanks Kim! We may see you again on a future trip.
