    This tour company has clearly hit on something special, particularly with their Jimmy Buffett walking tour that seems to steal the show. Guide Caleb gets mentioned repeatedly and for good reason: reviewers consistently praise his deep knowledge, engaging personality, and ability to make the experience fun through trivia, music, and even some groan-worthy jokes. Whether you're a hardcore Parrothead or just casually familiar with Buffett's music, people say the tour brings his story to life by visiting the actual spots that inspired his songs. The inclusion of key lime pie and margaritas along the way doesn't hurt either. Jessica also earns praise for her guiding skills, impressing even self-described Buffett experts. The Hemingway-focused tours get equally enthusiastic responses, with guides described as knowledgeable storytellers who share details you'd miss on a self-guided visit. The famous six-toed cats are a highlight for many visitors. Groups of all ages seem to enjoy these experiences, and the company apparently runs tours even for just two people, which one couple especially appreciated. A few practical notes: arrive early since parking can be tricky, and at least one reviewer mentioned cash-only payment. The food served on tours consistently gets compliments. Overall, this appears to be one of those experiences that becomes a trip highlight, whether you're diving deep into literary history or living that laid-back Margaritaville lifestyle.

    We had the most wonderful Hemingway tour with Caleb! My husband and I came down for his 40th birthday for the full Hemingway Experience in Key West and were so excited for this walking tour! Caleb was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience absolutely fantastic and memorable! We especially appreciate the tour still running even though it was just us two - we can’t wait to come back!!
