Pirates and Treasure: Self Guided Tour of Key West's Old Town

Embark on a self-guided audio adventure through Key West's storied Old Town, where the sun-soaked streets echo with the daring tales of pirates, treasure hunters, and fearless 'wreckers'.

Led by the eccentric Captain William Shade, the ghost of an 1800s pirate, you'll navigate from Mallory Square to the Key West Shipwreck Museum. Duck into El Meson de Pepe's for rum-fueled revelry (drinks are not included in the price of the tour), explore Capt Tony's Saloon's ghostly history, visit the Oldest House Museum, and dive into Mel Fisher's Maritime Museum for tales of daring underwater heists. Encounter the wild past at Audubon House, and stand before the Custom House where customs agents once tamed the Key West tides. This is no ordinary stroll; it's a spirited awakening of history, where every step reveals the legends that shaped this island city.

Best times for the tour are either early mornings or just before sunset, where the temperature can be a bit more pleasant.
