My boyfriend and I went to the Hemmingway House on our last day in Key West. We had expected to gain a little more knowledge about Hemmingway but received so much more. Our tour guide was animated, well informed, eager to answer questions and very personable. He told many stories and was great with the kids in our tour. No A/C, but well worth it!
I had great expectations for the house. I think almost every single first timer to Key West has the house on the top of their plans. I would NOT suggest this tour for people who have KIDS who are under age 6-7. That being the attention span and excitement of ones in a younger age range will distract tour guides, whom like you will already be in a sweat and tired/cranky. So, keep an open mind if you travel with the tots! make sure you get your moneys worth even if you can not stay on tour. Take photos of the flowers and your family on the benches and steps.
Even if you are not a Hemingway fan, this place is still worth the visit. Take the guided tour and you will learn a lot. Also, make sure to look out for the cats with the extra toes.
Our tour guide Loren did an excellent job, man on porch collecting tickets was a nasty irritable little man!
This would be a 4 from me and a 5 from my wife were it not for the tour guide.
The house and grounds are interesting for thier history and uniqueness. There are many fun stories about Hemingway, his wives, and his life in and out of Key West. There are some artifacts, but not a lot. Hemingway only lived there for 9 years. The tour guide is well rehearesed, and is clearly favoring you (in his mind) with his performance which he himself is clearly bored with. He then offers to answer questions if you are tipping, and does not have time if you don't. When only one of us tipped, he commented on how "I see only one of you gets it" and walked away shaking his head and muttering under his breath.
Had the tour been free or a token donation, I could understand this, but it was $24 to get in which would seem to be more than enough to pay for a 30 minute group tour with out needing to supplement his pay. I would not go on about this so much if it had not completely ruined what had been an enjoyable tour. If your tour guide is a short graying man with a salt and pepper beard, i would suggest you wait for the next tour. Based on the other reviews, we are all talking about the same guy. Perhaps management will read these reviews and either coach this guy on proper manners, or make a change.
