My son and I, along with another couple we did not know, were picked up in a van at a Fort Lauderdale hotel at 6 a.m. I did not know we would meet the main bus in Miami. We waited around 45 minutes to be picked up. Then we headed out. The scenery was beautiful and the bus was comfortable with good air conditioning. We stopped at a tiny restaurant on Key Largo for breakfast. The food was good, but the lines for the food and bathroom were not. Breakfasts were $8 a piece if you got the plate meals that were on special (breakfast sandwiches with potatoes, pancakes, etc.). We took off again. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave information in English and in Spanish. She then told us of special trips and activities we could buy from her while in Key West. It would have been helpful to know this ahead of time as they expected cash only. Luckily I had enough to buy my son and I two tickets for a glass bottom boat ride to the coral reef ( a two hour trip-$90). We also bought trolley tickets since it was 92 degrees with a 105 heat index( July 27, 2018), and I did not want to have to walk all over the island. I thought the trolley tickets were expensive ($35 for the day). We later found out they stop running the trolley at 4:30 and we were there til 6:15 so we only got to use the passes for a couple of hours and we did have to hike back to the bus. Overall, we saw old forts, the southernmost point in the continental U.S., the coral reef, beautiful historic homes, and we toured Ernest Hemingway's home. The food and snacks near Mallory Square were delicious, the people were friendly, and the views were amazing. I would like to go spend more time when it's not so bloody hot. On the way back through Miami, they drop EVERYONE off near their hotel. With us being the last ones dropped off, we were in Miami for two hours in traffic dropping people off. It made for a long very long day, but we were glad we got to experience a bit of Key West.
