If ever in Key West then the Hemingway House is a must visit…read more Hit up Duval Street for bar hopping, take a pic at the Southernmost Point, take in an amazing Key West sunset, and do a tour of Ernest Hemingway's home. Our tour guide was terrific, very engaging and insightful. Hemingway lived a very interesting life for sure. A literary giant and man of adventure. He had his flaws, but the man lived his life consisting of adventure, drama, love and tragedy. Such highs and lows. Also, we got to see and pet some of the six toed cats which are famous here.

I really wanted to see this house and museum, but in reading some reviews, I learned that Ernest…read morehimself was a lover of six toed cats which are called Polydactyl Cats or aka known as a Hemingway cat. Many Yelp reviews talk about these cats just being everywhere on the property. The cats have been given amnesty to live on the property. As much as we want to see this house, we have serious allergies to cats and did not want to take a chance to be miserably walking around with loud achoo's in people's ears, so we took whatever photos we could take from the outside and then went about our day. I wanted to go into the gift shop, but the cats are there too. I guess on the bright side, we saved at least $40.00 dollars.

From 1946 through 1952, President Harry Truman used this house as his winter vacation home, and…read morebecause he spent 175 days of his presidency here, it became known as the Little White House. Originally built by the U.S. Navy in 1890, the Little White House served as naval command headquarters during the Spanish-American War, and also played roles in both World Wars and the Cold War. Since Truman's days, many other presidents have also vacationed here, including Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Today, the Little White House has been restored and turned into a museum. Also, don't forget to check the famous limousine while you are there. The only way to see inside the Truman Little White House in Key West is via a guided tour. But there is a small section near the gift shop that is free for visitors.

This is so much more than a ghost tour or ghost-hunting adventure; Sloan offers history few people…read morewill ever learn about Key West otherwise. I brought a group of eight people down to Key West and every one of them loved Sloan's enthusiasm and knowledge - and all of us appreciated getting the historical information about the fort and those who may have become the ghosts. Robert the Doll, obviously, brings in a lot of people (and he has a fascinating history), but what I especially appreciated was how the tour destroyed so many of the myths. This is perhaps one of the best ghost tours I've ever taken, and one of my top two history tours. Go!

During the Sloan's Key West Ghost Hunt in the city, we learned about Robert the Doll who was…read morebrought to the island as a gift to some kid and that kid basically was mesmerized by said doll. Who knew dolls could be so big? Anywho, it was interesting enough for us to visit said doll and sign up for the 2nd tour bearing the Sloan name. This one was conducted at East Martello Museum, an old Civil War fort which surprisingly dates back to the 1860's. Our tour was conducted by local author David Sloan. He literally wrote the book on Robert the Doll, which you can buy on this tour and around the city. He also wrote other Key West ghostly tales like Haunted Key West, Ghosts of Key West and The Key West Key Lime Pie Cookbook ("limes have to die for this delicious pie" may or may not be words used in that book). David is a masterfully engaging storyteller who explains the history of Robert as well as the ol' Civil War Fort known now as the East Martello Museum, which sits at the entrance to the Key West Airport. Equipped with one Dowsing Rod and an EMF Reader that lights up when spirit energy is nearby, we wandered around the fort, into dark hallways, trying to bring out some spirits. People occasionally got hits (red and orange) but mine stayed green so spirits must be avoiding me like the gals did in high-school. The tour ends with everyone sitting around a glass case containing Robert the Doll. He's the main attraction. Great storytelling by David as some sounds are heard on the thingy that plays sounds (I forget the name). There were tales of people taking pictures of the doll or disrespecting the doll having horrible things happen to them. It was believable enough for us NOT to take pictures or whip it out and taunt the doll. I did take a picture of the poster of Robert the Doll though. The only thing bad that happened was my Windows PC rebooted on me without asking! Ugh! There's an extra add-on to stay afterwards to explore the fort on your own. We did not participate, but a few on our tour did. I haven't heard from them since! Should you go? Yes! It was interesting and informative and captivating. You can tell David has a passion for telling this tale and the stories of the fort and all things spooky. He's as Key West as a chicken crossing the road.

We had a lovely time with our host Valerian. He was so very informative, well-spoken, and funny!

The driver whose name I unfortunately am not sure of, I believe Ishlam, was very safe and navigated through the city with ease. Visiting the shipwreck museum after dark was also very cool. I felt safe the entire time. Had a wonderful night. Highly Recommend to any lovers of the strange and macabre.

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.
