Mostly my wife looking at the cats and trying to get their attention. We had a cat, they do whatever they want when they want to. At a given time, we came back to the front for the house and garden tour. It was very informative and it lasted about 30 minutes. It does include some very steep stair climbing but well worth the visit. I was not aware of the whole cat thing but it was an interesting story on why and how they got there. But to see where Hemingway, certainly one of America's best writers, lived was a very cool thing to do.... in this heat and humidity :)

So we had NO idea about the cats at the Hemingway House, so we were pleasantly surprised…read more.. especially because we're BOTH allergic to cats! Talk about twin flames! LOL. We were originally going to do the guided tour, but the cats were having us struggle a little. No fault of theirs, of course. We're just cursed because we absolutely love cats and even feed a homeless one at home! We loved walking around the beautiful gardens, including the little cat cemetery for some of the felines who lived here over the years. I also loved all the vintage furniture inside the house and how everything feels like it has been perfectly preserved in time. The staff was incredibly nice, and I even gave them one of my Halloween stickers! And let me tell you, these cats are living in LUXURY and loving every minute of it. The property isn't super huge, but there's plenty to look at and we definitely recommend visiting, especially if you love history and fluffy cats posing like French women. Such a fun and unexpected Key West stop!

Troy is incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of the islands to life with fascinating stories, fun facts, and great local insight.

The mix of history, culture, and humor made the day both educational and a lot of fun. If you're looking for a personalized, engaging way to experience the Keys beyond the typical tourist spots, this is it. An amazing experience from start to finish. Many thanks, Troy!

5 stars Way Better Than Just Another Bar Crawl! Listen, when…read moremy buddies started yapping about this Key West Ghost & Mysteries Tour, I was like, "Yeah, right ghosts in paradise? Pass the piña colada." I was already half-toasted from Duval Street happy hour, sweating in the humidity, thinking it'd be some cheesy, overpriced gimmick. But man, did it sneak up on me like a whisper in the dark. For what felt like pocket change (didn't even pay friends hooked it up), we wandered the shadowy backstreets of Old Town for 90 minutes, hearing wild true tales of haunted spots: the old firehouse with its dozen restless spirits (including a firefighter named Frank who still haunts the engine room), whispers from shipwrecked sailors on the breeze, and that creepy vibe from places tied to Key West's pirate past and yellow fever epidemics. The guide was a total pro mixing legit history with just enough eerie chills to make your skin prickle without going full horror movie. It's not scary-scary if you're buzzed and laughing with the group; it's more like deliciously mischievous storytelling that makes you glance over your shoulder at every creaky old conch house. What really sold it? Breaking from the usual beach-drink-repeat routine. Sure, Key West is all sun, sand, and rum, but slipping into the island's darker secrets cursed dolls like the infamous Robert, ghostly lights over the water from wrecked ships, and spots where the dead supposedly still linger felt refreshingly different and surprisingly fun. Highly recommend if you love a good story (and maybe a little liquid courage). The guide makes or breaks it, and ours was gold knowledgeable, funny, and just spooky enough to keep things lively. Bonus silly skit (because why not?): Me (whispering dramatically to my friends post-tour): "Guys... did you hear that? Footsteps behind us!" Friend 1: "Dude, that's just your flip-flops echoing." Me: "No, wait shh! It's Frank the firefighter... he wants his hose back!" Friend 2 (laughing): "Or maybe it's Robert the Doll, pissed we didn't say 'please' three times." All of us: "Run!" (We didn't run. We just hit the nearest bar for one more round. Ghosts approved.) Totally worth it. 5/5 even sober, I'd do it again.

If you're going to do a ghost tour--for the love of God, do it in Key West. Forget the cheesy ghost…read morewalks in cities that have to invent half their legends. This is Key West, where the humidity alone feels haunted, and half the locals already look like they've made peace with the afterlife. The Key West Ghosts & Mysteries Tour is the best of the bunch. You're not just shuffling along behind someone in a cape muttering about "orbs"--this is real-deal weird history. The streets themselves creak with old shipwreck stories, curses, and that doll (yes, that doll, Robert the Doll) who stares into your soul like he's still holding grudges from the 1900s. By the end of it, you're not sure if you're spooked by the stories or by the fact that people actually survived Key West before air conditioning. Pro tip: do it in the winter. In July, you'll be sweating so hard you'll mistake heat stroke for paranormal activity. In December, the air's crisp, the island's alive, and a walk through Old Town's lantern-lit streets feels like slipping between worlds. It's equal parts creepy, funny, and fascinating--a Key West cocktail mixed with history, ghosts, and just enough rum-soaked madness to keep you guessing.

When you walk in you are immediately greeted by an awesome pool area with lounge chairs, tables, a little tiki bar, and a vibe that screams Key West! To make it even better, we arrived at 2:15pm which was HAPPY HOUR at the pool, which included complimentary drinks and snacks! The pool was perfect for a dip and to stand around and chat. It was very warm and always clean. I loved that the lounge chairs came right to the edge of the pool so our freinds who didnt wanna swim were still close enough for converstation. We stayed in the "Madrid" room, which was immaculately clean and super cute! The king size bed was very comfortable and the room had a huge dresser for storage and a small fridge to store some cold waters and soda cans. Each morning they also put out a small breakfast which is an absolute perfect way to start your day! Breakfast out on Duval can cost like $30-50, so we loved the ability to fuel up here before venturing out. The breakfast items rotated but it included cereal, english muffins, bagels, hashbrowns, sausages, fruit, granola bars, orange juice, milk, and more. In addition to all the great amenities was the incredible level of service. Izabella went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of, all while doing it with a big smile everyday! And the best part of Andrews Inn has to be the location! You are steps away from Duval Street yet you are still in your private cozy world that is still peaceful and quiet. We often stayed up late and there was NO noise coming from Duval. We will definitely be staying at Andrews Inn again on our next visit to Key West!

I bought my ticket for the Old Town Trolley Tours Key West as part of the Norwegian cruise line excursions list and therefore, paid more than I would have normally for something like this. I have been to Key West a few times before and had seen many of the important sites on the island on my own but my friends were doing this trolley tour so I did as well. And I still learned a lot! Manny, our tour guide, was born and raised on Key West and therefore, had a great perspective on everything. I think he is the reason why I recommend this tour. Like many others have said, the trolley itself isn't too comfortable but it is sturdy, and you can get on and off as much as you want. As we were on a moving vehicle, I didn't get the best pictures so you probably won't either. Look up the trolley schedule and plan your get on/get off stops well. And try to get a local tour guide if you can!

Not Recommended -- Lack of Respect and Professionalism…read more I cannot recommend this tour company based on the way this tour operator treated people, particularly an older adult. Regardless of the situation, people working in the tourism industry should understand the importance of being courteous, patient, and respectful toward their guests. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The tour operator was extremely rude and gave what I felt was a completely inappropriate and disrespectful response to a senior citizen. When he received a response in return, his behavior escalated. He became aggressive and appeared ready to get off the bus and confront the person physically. Thankfully, someone younger stepped in and advised him not to get off the bus before the situation could escalate further. What is most disappointing is that this entire situation could have been avoided with something as simple as, "No," or "No, ma'am." There was absolutely no reason for the interaction to become confrontational. Tourism is about hospitality, and respect should be extended to everyone--especially senior citizens. A tour operator represents not only themselves but the company and the destination they are serving. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this tour company.
