My wife and I had such an amazing time checking out all the cool sites! AJ totally explained everything to us, telling us what everything was and all the history behind it. It was seriously just so awesome!

We can't speak highly enough about AJ and the tour he gave. A great way to experience Key West for the first time! Highly recommend!
My husband and I took the tour with AJ. And throughly enjoyed it. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We highly recommend. It’s a great way to see Key West and learn about its history.
What a wonderful experience we had on AJ's pedicab ride! The history of Key West, the architectural details, the interesting places to visit, both on and off the beaten path, restaurant suggestions, stories of local characters and celebrities, two hours of touring passed by in a flash. And as he told the stories AJ navigated safely and smoothly thru Old Town. Best way ever to enjoy the sights, sounds and warm breezes of a late afternoon in Key West. Take the tour!!
Our guide, AJ, led us through the back streets as well as the famous places of old town Key West. He was so well-versed in the history and lore of the town, and he made us laugh, too. We'd spent a day on the Hop On Hop Off tour (3 different driver/guides) and we thought we might hear repeats of the same stories, but we had nothing to fear. Bravo, AJ!
Great tour and history of Key West. AJ is delightful & accommodating & well-known. Enjoyable way to see all of Key West.
We went to parts of the city that I’d never been to and the history (of the buildings and people) was fascinating. Highly recommended!
I learned a lot of interesting facts about Key West such as the meaning behind the architecture of the homes and about Sandy Cornish. My tour was supposed to start at 4 pm, but I got the time wrong and thought it started at 2 pm. Despite this, my guide, Alejandro, began the tour early, which I really appreciated.
AJ was our driver and he was great! Gave us a great tour of key west with bits of information we didn’t know about.
We had a wonderful time on the bike ride. It was very informative. Our driver was very nice . We had a great time and would highly recommend .
Our "driver", Alejandro ("AJ"), is wonderful. This is a perfect way for a couple or a family with a small child or 2 to learn the history, culture and architecture of Key West. It beats the crowded hop on hop off bus and train, and enables you to scoot around the crowded streets while seeing all the major sites. We also earned a lot about the trees and plants. AJ is terrific, and we phoned him at 3058795448 to provide taxi service after our tour.
Informative and very enjoyable tour of Key West . We would highly recommend this tour, it gave us a good idea of places we would return to and explore in depth. Our guide TJ was excellent.
Well worth the money!!! AJ was a phenomenal guide and took us all around Key West to unique, quaint areas and gave us all the history of each location. He stopped to take our picture, he had us get out at a few locations to walk and site see while he explained the history of that specific site. He took us to taste the most amazing Rum that’s made right in Key West and dropped us off right back at our hotel! He spend a full 2 hours taking us on a tour and gave us wonderful suggestions for restaurants to try or bars to explore. It was truly the best experience and totally worth it!!!
Was a great intro to the history and some of the quirky facts about Key West. AJ was simply the best. He knew tons of facts about Key West and made the entire trip fun. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Kokomo keys charter captain Jordan was amazing, he got our group on target species fish early in the trip, the bite was on and over several spots we hooked up almost immediately. Very knowledgeable of the area and fish patterns, trip was amazing for smaller 4-6 people group. Highly recommend and we will use his services for our next trip in the keys!
AJ was a great guide who took 2 1/2 hours to give us an enthralling tour of Key West! He is extremely knowledgeable and we felt like we got an overview of the island that would’ve been missed, had we not taken the tour with him - thanks so much, AJ, for providing a really educational experience!!
Our tour guide AJ was excellent. Tour included architectural and historical highlights of Key West. We saw and learned things that we never would have discovered on our own.
The best experience…. AJ is the great guide , so knowledgeable about history and city in general. Worth every penny. Explore Key West with the best.
AJ was awesome! Really kind person, helpful and he gives the best advice about where to go and have the best time in your vacations. I highly recommend it. So far the best one for many that i did. He lives in key west for so many years and he knows so much history about the island.
Today we had a walking tour with AJ! He was very informing and showed us some awesome sites. We will definitely leave Key West with a better understanding of its History and culture. AJ appeared to love sharing his knowledge with us…felt like we made an instant friend! Thank you, Louis and Muriel
AJ was a knowledgeable tour guide. Very friendly. Great knowledge of the area and very interesting. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
The best thing we did in Key West. AJ is amazing! We learned so much about the history of the island and things to do off the beaten path. You won’t be disappointed!
DO NOT MISS THIS AMAZING TOUR - get the inside scoop of key west’s hidden gems! AJ is a great guide, hit all the highlights but also took us to many unique local spots including a beautiful rooftop view of the city. He is friendly, informative and courteous-even dropped us back off at our hotel at the end of the tour. The pedi cab has shade and a nice breeze, and was a great way to beat the heat in the middle of the afternoon while still experiencing all key west has to offer.
Our guide is a native Key West and gave us many interesting stories about the sites he took us to. Very good experience!
The entire trip was very interesting and the guide was well informed. Very professional. This trip gave us a complete view of Key West. We would recommend the trip to visitors.
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alejandro! We saw so many interesting things and even sampled some rum! He is a very safe driver in a very busy city. We also stopped to go into the Cuban Embassy, Tony’s Bar, and to see cigar rolling among others. Highly recommend this tour. Do it early on your visit because you will see many places you might want to visit later.
Highly recommend this tour, Alejandro made it very enjoyable and was full of information. We had a great time!
Alejandro was an excellent guide. This was our fourth visit to key west and he showed us places we had never seen before. He gave us an in-depth history of key west. It was also an architectural tour. Highly recommend this tour!
My husband and I loved!!! the Tiki Bike Experience with AJ. He was so friendly and took us via a covered Tiki carriage all over the old town of Key West. AJ was very patient with us as we asked many questions about the island and people of Key West, history, customs, etc. The Tiki was far more comfortable than I thought it might be. All in all this was my favorite tour in Key West.
This was a fantastic personal tour of Key West. Although initially we thought it a bit costly, it was totally worth it. As with other reviews, AJ was an awesome tour guide - his knowledge and information was unbelievable and any questions were easily answered. We even know the reason for all the chickens now!! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. AJ is a credit to the island. Thank you so much.
The personal knowledge of tour guide made this an exceptional tour. We enjoyed learning so many new things about Key West. We were not sure what to expect and were very pleasantly supplied by how enjoyable and informative the tour was.
If you do nothing else in key west BOOK THIS! Saw all of old town including several locations only locals know about. Hemingway home, southernmost point, first distillery, Cuban consult, speakeasy’s, so much we would not of discovered on our own. AJ’s knowledge of the island and his relationships with what felt like everyone is amazing and definitely creates a sense of a VIP experience. So many jealous sweaty faces on the streets looking on in wonder of how they missed that. Don’t be those people book this now.
Al was very knowledgeable. He gave my wife and I an excellent tour of Key West. He was very courteous, knowledgeable about key west. He allowed us to request a few stops to do things or see things we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend him as a guide if you are ever in the Key West area.
This is one of the best ways to see and learn about Key West. A.J. is extremely knowledgeable on Key West, its history and current state. This was one of the most enjoyable tours my wife an I have been on. One of the best things was seeing and learning about parts of Key West you don't get to see on the other tours. Also, this being a very personal tour made it very special as well. This tour and A. J. as the guide is well worth it. Again, probably one of teh best tours we have been on.
We had an incredible time with AJ on this tour, it was the highlight of our trip to Key West. We saw EVERYTHING, the famous, infamous and the places tourists could never find and never know about. He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, not to mention hilarious. Please don't miss this experience when you visit Key West, you will gain real insight into the history, legends, sites and architecture that make this island so unique. It was so great I'd actually do it again just to relive the experience.
Aj was knowledgeable and a great tour guide! Awesome way to see the town. Would highly recommend if you have the time!
We had a fantastic time! I can’t recommend this tour enough. We saw so many things that we never would have known about without this tour, and we learned so much about the history of Key West.
we loved the afternoon!!! AJ made the trip, a personal adventure! we saw so much we did not even know was there. and the added history lesson :) Appreciate all the unscheduled stops, pit stops and drink stops. And one of the best key lime pie servings and we tried a lot of them! Best to you and thanks for the xtra efforts.
The expertise of our guide, AJ, and how he presented it to us. He is the best guide ever. The history of Key West is intriguing and he brought it to life for us. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
AJ was a great guide, having been in key west for over 20 years it seemed like everyone knew him everywhere we went. He has a warm and upbeat personality and knew the lay of the land and the history of key west like the back of his hand. You could tell he really loves the area and telling others about it. We’d highly recommend the trip!
This was our first time in Key West. Based on the reviews, we expected a good tour, but this was better than we expected. AJ is not only very friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable about the area as well. I definitely recommend this tour!
Alejandro was great! Not only did he provide behind the scenes experiences (Artist Museum, Artist House, Shel Silverstein’s home, Robert the Doll’s family burial plot, cigar making, rum making, and hanging tree in Sloppy Joe’s along with famous bar patrons. He also is super friendly and empathetic. Everyone knows him in town it seems and you just know he would be a great friend to party with because he knows all the places that would be fun!
Excellent way to visit Key West! Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He let us take our time at every stop, answered all our questions and even pointed out restaurants for us to try later on. I would strongly recommend this private tour.
This is the best way to see the island. Whether you are a regular to Key West or this is your first trip you are bound to learn something new. AJ is so knowledgable and more famous than some of the spots we visited...There was a friendly smile and hello at every turn! Well worth the investment! We had a young infant with us for the tour and AJ rolled with the punches to ensure she and we were comfortable. Thank you so much for a memorable and fun experience!
We enjoyed our tiki bike tour. Tour guide was very kind and informative. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Very nice overview and historic information about Key West! Off the beaten path. Well worth it! Alejandro was a wonderful guide.
A.J. does a great job! He is very knowledgeable and takes you to some local treasures. We will be doing this again.
AJ is amazing! Charming, knowledgeable, and so patient with my limited mobility Dad! Highly recommend!
We had a fascinating afternoon touring with AJ. He is clearly deeply knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Key West. He took us into off the beaten path places to show us unique features, showed photos on his iPad, answered our questions and was just all around amazing. Sometimes, when someone gives the same tour regularly, they can get robotic in their "spiel," but that was absolutely NOT the case here. AJ clearly spent hours and hours doing extensive research and he is excited to share all the interesting things he learned. I would recommend his tour to anyone visiting Key West.
He was very knowledgeable! Loved the tour! Well worth it!! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the history of Key West.
