When in Key West, make sure to check out the Conch Tour Train! We booked this tour through the GoCity pass. By the end of the ride, I learned the history of the city, the booming times of the city until..., and some personal recommendations by our guide, Chris. He made the experience even better with his humor and in-depth knowledge. One of my favorite tidbits was the story behind the Conch Republic's tongue-in-cheek motto: "We seceded where others failed." In a playful protest, Key West once jokingly declared war on the United States and then immediately surrendered, turning the whole thing into a symbol of its independent spirit and humor. The train took us all around the island, passing by famous landmarks like President Truman's House, Ernest Hemingway's Home, Duval Street, and several museums. Overall, I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun, relaxing way to explore while staying cool in the Key West heat. read more

This is a fun tour to do in Key West near the cruise port. The tour cost $50 through NCL excursions. When I traveled solo I was able to get this for free with the More At Sea package. It was so good that I did the tour again with my husband the following month. The train is comfortable and open air. It's located in the main tourist area near Duval St. Both tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend this for a fun, short excursion while in Key West. read more

We took the Conch Train as part of a combination tour aboard the Norwegian Pearl. Of the 3 parts of the tour this was the highlight of the package. The driver of the tram ride around Key West "Todd" talked almost nonstop (in an excellant way) about the highlights and history of this great place. We were shown the many points of interests like Hemingway's home, Truman's "Little White House", and many others. This is "THE BEST" introduction to Key West or if you've been to Key West a few times you may discover a place you havn't visited yet. The Conch Tour is 100% a Key West must do! Well worth the cost!!! read more

Conch train was awesome. Franks was our driver and guide. Great sense of humor with some amusing anecdotes along the way. Easy pace with a history lesson and you get eyes on the old part of town. This is helpful to inform your own walking around, so take notes on what you want to visit later. Great way to spend about 70 minutes. Next time I'll probably do the hop on and hop off. read more

Fun tour around key west and really loved the history behind the homes and the key. Ian was insightful and fun, light jokes and made the kids even perk up. A good daytime activity if you are into history and architecture! read more

Conch Train Tour Key West 5-1-25 We grabbed this train on Thursday morning about 9:30am. Train was not full so we could sit wherever we wanted. It was easy to hear the conductor Ian over the loudspeaker. He knew his Key West History and even cracked a couple jokes during the tour. We always wanted to take this tour and we are not sorry we did. You will see and learn so much as this train goes all over Key West. I could not believe Key West was that big with lots going on. If your time is limited, this is perfect for you to see most of Key West. If you would rather hop on and hop off, get the tram. This train, you stay on for the entire time until the tour is over. We bought tickets right at the 303 Front Street Depot as it was early in the day. I will tell you we saw the train later that day and it was packed no empty seats. So, if you're not going early you might want to book online for later tours. The train ends up behind Front Steet at Mallory Square. The tour is usually 1 hour long but at times it can run longer. I give this Conch Train Tour 5 out of 5 stars because of Ian the tour guide and all the sites we saw plus all the history we learned from this ride.

Very fun way to get a tour of Key West and learn about the island! I've done it twice and learned something new each time.

The Conch Tour Train is probably the most touristy thing you could do in Key West. In fact, it might be the most touristy thing you could do anywhere. It was a semi-stormy, rainy day and our previous plans, which were glorious, were ruined by the weather. So we rode the little tourist train. And it was fun. Your driver will give you a live, narrated tour throughout the ride, except for when you go through a few quiet zones. You will learn history, some architecture, and just generally stuff about Key West. Our driver was quite a character--in a good way. You can hop on and off the train at their handful of stations, if you want to explore the area on foot and then re-board the train later. We wanted to give our feet a break so we just stayed on the train throughout. Yes, it is incredibly touristy and riding a train is no substitute whatsoever for hitting the pavement with your feet and checking out the surroundings on your own pace and in person. Honestly, but for the weather seriously messing with our plans, we would never have ridden the little train. But it was a fun ride, I can't deny it. read more

The CONCH TRAIN TOUR ride is always a must when we visit Key West. We come down here every 2 years or so and enjoy this Train tour and ride around the Island. One thing we miss is that it used to be a hop on hop off, but now it's a full tour which only starts and stops at Mallory Square. We purchased our tickets from Chrissy and she was amazing and went above and beyond! Fun trip around the Island and worth it! I would recommend either doing the Conch Train tour or the Trolley Hop on Hop off ride. No need to do both as they are very similar tours. read more

Arrived at the ticket booth 5 minutes before the train was to depart. Very nice gentleman directed us down the street to get on the train and advised against stopping to get a water to make sure we made it on time . The lady at the train was not having it and insisted we wait for the next one. But, although we were off to a rocky start, it all ended so much better than I could have expected. Our tour guide, Skipper, was so informative and fun. We learned so much on this tour, even though I've been to the island 10+ times. We spent about 15 minutes after the tour talking and it was a highlight of the trip. It's a great way to spend an hour on the island, and make sure you get with Skipper! read more

This experience was so amazing! Our tour guide was Chris and he was so helpful. He was very well at explaining everything about Key West and giving helpful tips and tricks to making your way around. For this being my first time in Key West I felt very informed after riding the Conch Train. The only thing that was not the best, which was nothing they could control, was that the seats were very tiny and were uncomfortable considering that you had to be on there for about 70 minutes. Other than that, I would recommend the Conch Train to anybody who is visiting Key West as it allows you to explore the amazing city! read more

Pretty good way to get a lay of the land and see some important historic points and get good background. It's a little expensive for what it is though; and they added on a $5 historic book that we didn't ask for! It's still a good option for a first time visitor to the area. read more

Hopped on at 3:30 on a Thursday, train wasn't nearly full. Our conductor was very knowledgeable and lively. She was very nice and taught us a lot about key west and its history. The pricing isn't bad, $45/adult and the tour is a little over an hour long. Definitely worth it to see a lot of the history of the island. read more

we went on the Key West conch train tour 7/19/25 our name was Frank Coyle. We have been coming to kill us for 17 years and I learned more on that almost 2 hour tour then I have in the 17 years we've been coming down here. He was so knowledgeable, a good sense of humor, and just a great guide for this attraction. We enjoyed it so much that the next time we come down, we will take this tour again and specifically ask for Frank. There is so much deep history with other countries and and with our government that I learned on that tour. Five stars plus for Frank! read more

We had the good fortune to tour Key West on Easter Sunday with Kenny as our guide. This was, by far, the single best tour we have ever taken anywhere. Kenny is engaging, clear, very well informed, and truly funny. My wife and I learned an enormous amount about the island and from someone who grew up on Key West -- from the history of major storms to fascinating details about the local flora and fauna. Kenny is exceptionally well read and knows how to weave a good story. He's meticulous about fact and detail and knows how to command and direct the attention of his listeners. Thank you and bravo! read more

Our guide Chris was great. The tour was very informative and entertaining. I have been to Key West many times and I saw a lot of new things I hadn't seen before. Definitely recommend it. read more

First thing we did was come to the train station to upon arriving in Key West. This was our first time here so thought we'd start with a historical tour to get familiar with the town. Tickets were around $43 per person for a full access day which also gets you into a museum. The tour lasts around an hour and a half if you didn't get off any of the stops. Very informative live tour as we were driving around. Loved hearing about the history, landmarks, and architecture of Key West. I was noting some places we wanted to go back to after our tour - such as Higgs Beach and the Southernmost Point. One thing I wish the train offered is a hop on-hop off option for major landmarks and picture opportunities but it would slow down the tour experience so I understand why they don't. Overall great way to spend a little time getting to know Key West! read more

My husband and I went to Key West on a recent cruise. We wanted to explore and have been before so decided to do the quick tour around with the train. The staff were awesome and pointed out great items and a plus was that we did get to see some areas we had not seen before. Overall, the experience was great. My only suggestion is to have a little more accommodations for those that are tall. The seats are very close the rails which led to not as comfortable of an hour as it should have been. read more

Our guide Jay was absolutely wonderful! So many great insights into Key west then and now as well as sharing a few local favorite places to eat (Big Cheez's pizza was GREAT). Could have stayed on after the 75-minute ride to learn more. Loved the option to hop on and off. read more

Great way to start our Key West vacation. Saw a lot of interesting sites in Old Town area and Ian was a very good guide.

We absolutely love this little tram!!! Great history and a fun ride. Only complaint is that we come to Key West every year and we wish they did sort of a hop on hop off for people who aren't necessarily going to stay on just for one ride, one day. We come in the low season and they are always riding around with two people. I think it's a missed opportunity not to offer a hop on hop off option for people who have already done the tram in the past. read more

We did this tour on our second day which I recommend. We stayed on the train for the entire tour so we could see all the stops then decide which ones we wanted to get off at. Our Captain was Skipper and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to the Truman Little White House Tour at one of the stops which we recommend. Make sure to bring your ticket if you go there cuz they will give you a discount. Great shopping in the area as well read more

We wanted to do this last time here but my dog was with.. no dogs on the train! Bummer. But this time was good! We were 4 and had a great time riding around. I did have to translate. It really is a pretty nice train ride. When u get off and on like we did you get a different driver. They have a bit of different versions of the stories. But fun none the less. I bought on Groupon and it allowed us into the Rail museum ( Flagler) and the trolley all day as well. On and off! So did the conch first then the trolley went ALL the way around the island! That was kewl! Doing that is allowed us to see allllll the outskirts that U don't see normally. Including the beaches etc and regular shopping areas. read more

The first thing anyone should do when they first visit Key West is take the Conch Train Tour. The tour gives you an overview of the sights of Key West. It takes about 70 mins with three stops. You are welcome to step off and explore but the trains does not wait for you. You can catch another one to get back to the starting place. This is not the first time I rode the train way back in the mid 80's my mom took me my kids and wife on our first tour. 35 years later it still delivers that great overview. read more

We took The Conch Tour Train and saw the important areas and interesting points and a bit of history of Key West since we were short of time. For an hour and 30 mins enjoyed the All Aboard tour. The two or three stops to hop off and on along the way strategically located near main points of interests. Hemingway House, Butterfly House, Train Museum, Mallory Square. They provide us Rain Ponchos , but were not necessary. The Sun came out and the rain clouds moved away. Lot of architectural tidbits and nice houses were seen that on an overnight stay otherwise would be missed. It's fun to ride the Conch Train read more

We were staying in Key West and knew we needed more of an activity than just hitting the touristy shops and restaurants. A hop on hop off tour was perfect to give us a feel of the island learn more about it. It was nice because as we were driving around afterwards we got to see stuff we'd already seen and were familiar with. We purchased tickets online which I believe saved a bunch of money. Trip as a whole takes a little over an hour. We got stuck in one of the rear facing seats which wasn't something I'd want to do again, but the train was packed and we had no choice unless we wanted to sit separately. read more

If it was sunny, I'd give this a solid four, but I wouldn't advise getting on this before/during a rainstorm. Most people know this, but I didn't. The tour train gave us white plastic ponchos but it simply wasn't enough protection. We got a lot of laughs in though. Especially funny was that the tour operator didn't even mention the pouring rain, the pelting water, the flooded streets. Instead he just keep going with the history lesson. An upside is that people on the street watching us pass by on "the train" were laughing at how ridiculous we looked, which made me laugh too. read more

We had such a beautiful day in Key West !! Sunshine and and awesome tour of such a historical beautiful island. The Conch Tour Train is a MUST experience in Key West and worth every penny and then some. The sights and history is fascinating!

Sarah gave a very nice tour learned a lot of things we did not know before about Key West. I've been coming here for over 30 years. First time I ever did. The conch tour definitely learned a lot and it was awesome. read more

Hum this was a tough one to rate a three or four star. Not cheap but the knowledge and stories the guide had. Very insightful and I learned a lot! However one of the selling points was hop on hop off at various points. Well that never happend. I recommend doing the full tour at one time, then hop off. The town was so busy (July) not sure how packed is is other months. Once off the train good luck getting on another! read more

This is absolutely the best way to learn Key West, if you haven't ever been. It is a hop on, hop off excursion. We were hosted by Donilo, our guide , train #107, who gave a great historical presentation of some of the sights. I highly recommend this tour. PS, buy your tickets online or at the stop near Mallory Square. The other stop, on Duval at Truman, had a lady with a nasty attitude. read more

A bit overpriced, 45 dollars per person, however this is tourism and the tour was great. Took about 45 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes, they tour you through the western part of Key West, showing you the Southernmost Point of the Continental USA, to the northern part. 4 stops are there. Cool driver, very informative and friendly. Overall, it was a great tour. read more

Train ride was fun and very informative. We saw lots of places that we didn't even know about so it was well worth it.

I wish I could say this tour was a pleasant experience however it was not. The lady who sold us the tickets was nice and friendly. I had a knee walker and was told we could get on and they would hold the folded knee Walker up in the front. Kenny was our tour guide and it was hard to hear and understand him. The times we did hear him and understand what he was saying, he was mostly talking about his life in key west. His wife, his brother the house he grew up in. While he did share information on the historic parts most of the tour had information about him which is not what I was interested in. To make matters worse, the train stops but it is not clear for how long but people get off and Kenny also got off. My boyfriend got out to get a pamphlet on jet ski rentals that was only a few feet away from the train when suddenly Kenny announced he was taking off. The worker lady who Came over to put the strings close tried to tell Kenny to stop. As I was unable to get off due to my sprained ankle. My boyfriend tried telling Kenny we were not ready but Kenny insisted that he was going to take off. The lady who worked there told my boyfriend to get on the train and when he proceeded to get on, Kenny yelled at him through his speaker to not get on. We explained the lady told him to get on. Then at our next stop he comes over and proceeds to tell us how he is going to make sure the lady who told my boyfriend to get on will 'get it'. So as we sat there feeling uncomfortable and disappointed, I notice that Kenny gave my knee walker to another male and he was carrying it away. At that point I told my bf he had my walker. So we had to tell Kenny that was our walker and he had his staff place it up front. Had I not seen it, I would have been missing my knee walker. Besides our tour guide ruining this tour, the ride Itself was ok. There's a lot of bumpy roads so be prepared. Take water with you. Hopefully you get a pleasant tour guide who Doesn't give his personal opinions, yells at his riders and provides a tour of his personal life. read more
