We had Max as our guide and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! The tour is paced perfectly never felt rushed and portions were great. The mix in the experience was fantastic. We had our first stop at a restaurant that is on everyone's must list! We went to places my sisters and I probably wouldn't have gone otherwise! Max gave us a great recommendations not just for the places we experienced but also places close by those. We took enough of those recommendations that I was worried he would think we were stalking him we so him so often over the next few days!!!

This tour was excellent. The guide, Marjorie was knowledgeable and engaging. She provided us with a lot of information about the history of Key West as well as the restaurants and food that were on the tour. The food was all very delicious. Highly recommend this tour if you like to try new things and aren’t familiar with the area.

Take this food tour, it is great! My friend and I were only in Key West for one full day and this was the perfect way to experience the town. We got to try a much wider variety of food than we would have otherwise during our short trip. The food (and rum) was great, but the walking component was possibly my favorite part. Our guide, Maxwell, was fantastic. He grew up in Key West and was personable and full of stories. He took us all through the historic part of town, which I wouldn't have known to visit if I hadn't done the tour. Maxwell also gave great recommendations for restaurants and bars, so you'll continue to benefit even after the tour is over! I also felt that the price was very reasonable for the amount of food and time (remember to bring cash for a tip, they deserve it!)
