Things to do in Key West, Florida (FL): The Best Ghost & Vampire Tours
Does time ever pass in the Florida Keys? Everyone and everything in Key West seems to go at its own pace, right down to the ice melting slooooowly in your margarita glass. Of course, it’s not all limes and leisure – Key West is known as the “Winter White House” because of its appeal to visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. The diving here is phenomenal, as is the kid-friendly Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center.

Fast Eddie was amazing! Whoever says otherwise are haters, failed history class, and/or can’t read. This specific tour is to learn about the history of the keys, not so much about drinking and getting drunk. If you want to get drunk, do not do this tour, do the other tour this company offers. Fast Eddie is an amazing story teller. He captured our attention immediately. He personality is awesome and fun. My spouse and I really enjoyed ourselves and we would do this again in a heart beat. Thank you for being a great tour guide Fast Eddie!

Didn’t know what to expect when we decided to do this tour. The history was really interesting and enjoyed seeing and hearing things I didn’t know. My only complaint would be the cost for what we got. Felt overpriced for an hour long history bus tour.
