Listen to cultural stories and maritime folklore as you indulge in fresh seafood. Stops consist of locally sourced fish tacos from a famous food truck, Key West pink shrimp from a boutique seafood market, a Cuban sandwich from inside a local artisan market, and spiny lobster from a restaurant housed in a 19th-century mansion.

Learn about the Tequesta and Calusa peoples, native to southwestern Florida, and wander through the neighbourhoods once inhabited by fishermen and pirates. Admire the island architecture and leave the tour with an understanding of the life and heritage of the residents, as well as recommendations about other activities and restaurants to visit in Key West during your travels.
