Discover Key West’s colorful history, culture and flavors on a guided walking tour around Old Town that includes hot sauce tastings at Peppers of Key West, plus authentic key lime pie at Kermit’s. Head out on foot with a local guide through tropical streetscapes teeming with island charm. Learn about the Conch Republic’s legacy and the town’s quirky social traditions while strolling past country crooner Kenny Chesney’s vacation home and music icon Jimmy Buffett’s recording studio. A walk along raucous Duval Street leads you to Peppers of Key West, dubbed the “hottest spot on the island”. Step inside for a complimentary tasting of fiery hot sauces and salsas, with kitschy names like “Catch a Fire”, “Diver Down”, and “Feisty Parrot”. You’ll then make your way over to the Historic Seaport to explore its boat-lined docks. Stop in Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe, a mainstay establishment dishing out Key West’s signature key lime pie for over 20 years. Enjoy a tart slice — or opt for a key lime bar on a stick, dipped in sweet Belgian chocolate. Both your spicy and sweet cravings will be satisfied, all before walking back to the pier at Mallory Square.
