Such a wonderful presentation of Jimmy life .We learned so much and found some hidden gems!! Highly recommend !
We had a great time walking around Key West! It was informative both with Jimmy Buffet facts, but also seeing some places you might not normally see or notice.
We had a great time on this walking tour. J.P. was an excellent guide who really knew his stuff when it comes to Jimmy Buffet. Lots of fun stories and interesting places to see throughout the town. Well done!
Wonderful tour! Had a great time learning about Jimmy Buffett’s life in Key West!!
We went on many tours during our stay and this was the greatest! It may be due to our tour guide JP. He was very informative and had the answer to all questions. He made the tour fun and we really appreciated his guidance and positivity. Thanks JP, we look forward to next time!
Great tour. Guide was great and the tour was a great value!
Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We also learned a lot about Key West too. It shows that she loves being a tour guide.
JP was our guide and he did a wonderful job. We are life long Jimmy Buffett fans and we learned things we didn’t know. Not only about Jimmy Buffett but also about Key West!
Awesome tour. Gwen was very much amazing! The information was great and just walking around Key West was fun. We got to meet Kermit when we had key lime pie.
You don't have to be a huge Jimmy fan to appreciate this tour. His impact on this town is enormous. It was great getting key lime pie along the way.
This was not good. The tour guide knew very little, if anything, about Buffett. He simply read one or two sentences from a binder at each stop. He was factually incorrect about key details in Buffett history and was unable to answer basic follow-up questions from the group. Technically, he didn't know how to operate his headset and speaker, so people kept telling him they couldn't hear him. He also talked with his back to the group, which made him even more difficult to understand. If you're a parrothead or just a casual Buffett fan, you'll know way more about Jimmy than this tourguide. Don't waste your money.
This was a fun and informative tour, and our guide (J.P.) was excellent. I would recommend this tour to any Jimmy Buffett fan.
Emily was amazing and certainly a major fan and also her love of Key West shown through. Thought i was a fan, but dang I learned a lot! She was funny but knowledgeable. She also was sincerely patient with my 9 & 10 yr old grands as they asked question after question. Relaxing tour and the pace wasn't too bad. One of the best laid back tours we have ever taken!
Emily was great! Her passion for KW was obvious. She told us ahead of time she would be mixing other aspects of KW with her Jimmy knowledge and that’s ok. She was off on a couple of facts but that’s ok
This was a great tour visiting Jimmy Buffett's old stomping grounds. Lots of good information about his time in Key West.
This was a nice walking tour, and Gwen was great! Good introduction to some spots around town. Fun experience!
The tour was ok for a casual JB fan. Guide knew basics and it was nice to walk around old Key West. Pie was good, however margarita at the end was a bottled wine margarita mix. It was a Miss by this company to do something special.
Learning about Jimmy’s time in Key West while also seeing and learning about behind the scenes locations in Key West history with Mark was just we wanted!
Fun to see some of the places that Jimmy lived and played at. Also was cool to see how Key West shaped his music.
5 Emily was fun and really knew her stuff
My husband and son went on this tour and said it wasn’t super exciting, but the Guide was knowledgeable about Jimmy Buffet’s life and had some suggestions for cool places to go in downtown Key West.
It was so much fun!! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. We saw so many places to go and visit after our trip. She told us about restaurants and Jimmy facts.
Got charged and the vendor cancelled The tour. Then bad communications on how we get our product money back.
JP was great! He was upbeat, friendly and super knowledgeable. The tour stopped at some great Jimmy Buffet spots and a lot of Key West history intertwined. Thank you!
Emily is very enthusiastic and you can tell she loves Key West. She is easygoing and willing to share interesting facts about Jimmy’s time in KW. Great to see his first bungalow and area that he frequented. I learned a few things I didn’t know. Emily also offers her local recommendations for dining, which proved helpful.
Emily made the grade! We were taken around key west and shown stops that influenced the songwriter of the Keys! Fun, entertaining and informative, the tour was packed with interesting nuggets of Jimmys life that made us professional Parrot Heads! Forever Fins up!!
It's well worth the money. Our guide JP was very knowledgeable and friendly. He paced the walk to our group...so e of us were a but older. The key Lime Pie was outstanding and the water was very refreshing. The margaritas at the end was the perfect ending to a fun and informative tour.
Emily was an excellent tour guide!! Her knowledge about both Jimmy and Key West exceeded our expectations. We have visited KW numerous times and been on lots of tours - this was one of the absolute best! Emily incorporated historical insight about Jimmy as well as KW, not to mention a treat along the way! Thank you!
Our tour guide was great with a super upbeat personality and very knowledgeable about Jimmy Buffett. The walking tour is about 2 miles, so wear comfortable shoes. The tour ends at Captain Tony's and she handed us a mini bottle of Chi Chi's brand of a Margarita, which was lame. I think it should have ended with a drink inside Captain Tony's. Otherwise, it was amazing!
Don’t have anything to say good or bad, our tour was cancelled. Very disappointed ☹️ Rebooking was offered but it was for the day we were leaving.
This was a fantastic and fun tour! Seeing and hearing about Jimmy’s history with Key West. Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable.
It was awesome! Tour guide Liz was excellent and made the experience fun. So glad we took the tour. Learned about places we never knew.
Very informative our Tour guide JB was Great he shared great stories behind Jimmy's time in Key West. Been to Key West many times it was great to see new places some of which inspired some of Jimmy great songs.
Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. A great tour for ‘older’ people. He went slow and always made sure everyone was present. A refreshing change!
Emily was absolutely fantastic. She struck the perfect balance of trivia, history, and fun, fascinating facts, truly bringing Jimmy Buffett’s legacy to life. Her passion and knowledge made the experience engaging and memorable, capturing the spirit, stories, and music that made him so iconic.
The tour was very well done. Emily was friendly and full of Jimmy Buffet info as well as Key West information. We had a delicious piece of Key Lime Pie. That was a pleasant surprise. This tour exceeded our expectations
Emily did a great job and had a lot of info on Jimmy and where he spent time in Key West as well as historical info on Key West. Really enjoyed it!
Great tour. It does require about 1.8 miles walking at a comfortable pace. I would recommend this tour to anyone
As a 30+ year parrothead I appreciate that all the locations are organized in a compact walking tour. For casual Buffett fans it’s a nice tour. However, if you are a bigger Buffett fan this may not be for you. I’m hoping it was just that our guide wasn’t great, as I believe this could be a fantastic tour with the right person leading it. Our guide was essentially reciting Wikipedia entries and was getting things wrong. Album names were wrong (White Sports Car instead of White Sports Coat), dates were wrong, people involved in the events at those locations were wrong. Also not being very specific about which building we were supposed to be looking at. Several people on the tour walked away halfway through the tour and didn’t come back. Our guide was very nice and helpful but did not have knowledge of the material. It was clear he was trying to remember what he read online or in a book and he struggled. With the proper person leading this would be a highlight tour for all parrotheads. You are in the real life Margaritaville and he didn’t even know that Buffett’s band played a concert in Key West less than 12 hours before the tour.
Emily was fun and informative! We got stuck in traffic and she arranged to meet us and filled us in on what we had missed!
Emily did great sharing fun stories of key west and Jimmy b….. provided a great way for us to walk around Key West seeing spots we probably never would have seen on our own
Not much new information here. After riding the trolley tour, I had seen and heard about most of the stops on the walking tour. Was disappointed that there wasn’t more information and stops on this two hour walking tour. More conversation and maybe some Jimmy Buffett trivia would have been entertaining as we walked from stop to stop. Tour guide was a very friendly man, but obviously did not have much background and was just repeating the narrative he was given.
This was an interesting experience. Got to see areas Jimmy Buffet played and lived. Don’t think those areas are known or able to view on your own. Was hoping for more history telling on Jimmy Buffet. Not enough time spent on him & why we booked it . Disappointed in the drink handed out at the end. Description made it sound like we’d all be having drinks together , or at least at the last stop.
Fun tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot which really enhanced our appreciation for both Buffet and the history of Key West.
This tour was great fun! We received some stories of Jimmy Buffett's early life, and walked to see the locations where he got his start - where he performed, where he lived, and where he ate. Liz also wove in a bit of Key West history, which really added depth to the tour.
This tour is pretty lame doesn't mention the other 2 places he lived in key west. Nobody cares about where Hemingway 1st stayed in key west nor do we care about a sign on a building saying nothing happened on a certain date nor do we care about the color of a roof on a porch regarding ghosts. Don't point to where the chart room is where he 1st played take the guests on the tour to the bar. Regarding the studio might be a idea mentioning the 1st album he recorded in the studio. Wasting time eating key lime at kermits and a small little margarita bottle. This tour is an embarrassment to his legacy
A fun walk about Key West to see places Jimmy hung out plus interesting tidbits of Key West history.
This was a very informative tour. Guide was very knowledgeable about all things Jimmy Buffett. Highly recommend!
It was a fun tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for other things to do in Key West.
