Our guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable. We had Tommy and Bruce, and they were both amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone! It was a great way to see the island! More

Yeah, you will feel like a tourist, but you get to see all of Key West and learn about the city - the history, architecture, restaurants, etc. we lucked out with our guide, who has lived here since 1986. This is a great way to become acclimated to the island! More

Despite the positive reviews, we were disappointed with the overall Conch Train experience. The driver had a memorized spiel (we heard other drivers reciting the same words) with little additional information. Only 2 stops and no way to take the entire tour and then go to a stop. If you only want to see the sights and not visit many,... More

If you do this at all, it should be your first activity upon arrival in Key West. Might be pointless if see the whole town, then board. A really great orientation to the island. We purchased tickets at the visitors center on the east end of the island and boarded a free shuttle to meet the train at Flagler Station.... More

Whether you know everything or nothing about Key West, this should be your starting point for a trip to the Conch Republic. It will cover history and all the best spots. Walking around with a local post-tour she was pointing out things that had already been included in the tour--possibly because they are given by other locals. You will find... More

After a long night out and too much sun, this tour was just what the doctor ordered. It was nice to just sit and listen to someone give you the history of this great city with good photo ops. A little pricey for a short tour (90 min with a few breaks) , I think I paid the same in... More

Very good tour of the island if you wanna have a 360° idea of Key West. Is it possible to hop on and off by the train for all the day. It's better to make some stops to take some pictures and have a walk in the hystorical centre o near the port or by the sea. Don't loose the... More

We had a great guide, his name Sponge Bob, full of humor, character as well as knowledge. It was a real pleasure to listen to Bob tell all the stories of the wreckers and their accomplishments. Key West is truly a place full of history dating back to the pirate days, amazing......... Jim Robertson and Family thank Bob for the... More

Having been to Key West a few times, we decided to take the tour and we were glad that we did. Great way to see the island. Our driver was ok, his singsong voice kind of got to you after a while. Took about an hour and a 1/2 and was entertaining and informative. A great way to sit back... More

We had a great tour guide and we saw several attractions we didn't know about. Good History lessons which gives you an overview of the island so you can see the attractions that are an interest to your party. You really get a feel for the island and see some really nice neighborhoods and historic buildings. More
