Overview

Key West is famous as mainland America’s Caribbean resort town. Here, time slows down as the island vibes take over. But, as you’ll soon find out on this walking tour, there’s more to this island than umbrella drinks and warm breezes.

On this tour, travel writer and tour guide Gregg Squeglia will share stories of some of the island’s more famous residents and some lesser-known tales that have given Key West its unique place in American culture and history.

He'll tell you about Key West’s incredible history, from its origins as a maritime village that profited heavily from salvaging wrecked ships along the Great Florida Reef to the hilarious creation of the ‘Conch Republic’. You’ll also find out how, soon after its creation, this micro-state declared war on the United States for a full minute.

On this self-paced tour, you’ll also visit the island’s major landmarks and lesser-known treasures.
