December 10, 2025 on Key Lime ExperienceThe Key Lime Experience with Whiskey Rick was a definite highlight of our recent Key West trip. Every stop felt like we were dropping in on old friends. And Whiskey Rick carried that same laid back, fun-loving vibe throughout the entire tour, conversing and sharing local folklore and tidbits along the entire tour. We really felt connected to the local culture throughout the whole experience.
We can’t wait to get back and see what Whiskey Rick can arrange for even more sampling of the local culture. A whiskey pub crawl? Maybe a fun sandbar excursion? Perhaps he can curate an experience for us for some adult getaway time!
Looking forward to it all ready!

December 7, 2025 on Key Lime ExperienceWe visited Key West in January 2024 for the ABV Network Key West Whiskey Fesitival. Whiskey Rick was our tour guide all across the Key. The Key Lime Pie Tour was hands down our favorite during our visit. The way Whiskey Rick curated the visits with each of the businesses played well together and provided is with an amazing experience of the different recipes that are available. We would not have been able to do this on our own, as the secret sauce was the coordination and collaboration between Whiskey Rick and all the businesses we visited. When you think "Local", THIS IS IT! There are other options around, yet those tend to not be rooted in the Key West Community and are just stops into the businesses. What's different with this tour, is you not only get to enjoy a slice of Key Lime Pie, you get to spend time with the owners/bakers like you are family. We are very much looking forward to doing this tour again with Whiskey Rick as he has the pulse of Key West....you will not be disappointed. Go and book this tour if you can find the time.

June 20, 2025 on Welcome to Key West History and Local Tips Walking Tour of Old TownRicks tours are 5 stars - unique and by far one of the best story tellers on the island. In my 15 years of Key West travels - easily one of my top 5 things to do. I’ve taken several tours with Rick. He’s truly awesome - especially at being able to customize the tours to each groups needs/wants.

June 20, 2025 on Jimmy Buffett walking tour of Old Town Key WestEnjoyed a very informative walking tour of Jimmy Buffett’s favorite hangouts in Key West. Our tour guide Rick was great with many behind the scenes stories of Jimmy, many based on Rick’s first hand accounts. Highly recommended for any true Parrot Head.
