For over 35 years, Old Town Trolley has brought guests closer to Key West attractions like Harry S. Truman’s Little White House, Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, the Southernmost Point and the beaches just to name a few. And great shopping can be found throughout the island including famous Duval Street. For a memorable dining experience, look no further than Hog’s Breath Saloon, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville and the Hard Rock Cafe. So come and see all the great things Key West has to offer aboard Old Town Trolley Tours.

Tour Option 1: Purchase from your shore excursions desk

Our tours are designed to maximize your time here in Key West. You’ll receive an overview of the historic district, covering 100 points of interest including the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum, the Audubon House, world famous Duval Street, the Southernmost Point in the continental US, the neighborhoods of Old Town, one of the largest historical districts in the US, the Key West Bight, West Martello Fort, and tropical flowers and plants. The tour ends in Mallory Square.

When using an excursion through the ship, the ship guarantees that it will wait until the excursion returns.

* Additional fees may apply.

Tour Option 2: Purchase from Old Town Trolley directly

Purchase tickets online or through our ticket depots.
We provide a 1.5 hour tour with on-and-off privileges at 13 stops*.
From the Southernmost Point to the streets of Old Town, our tour takes you to all the major areas and attractions. See Key West’s first tourist attraction, the Key West Aquarium. Cross the street and you’ll find yourself back in the 1800s at the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum.

Stop by the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum and don’t forget to look for the 6 or 7 toed cats! Cool off with a drink at the famous Sloppy Joe’s Bar or Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. There’s no better way to see all of Key West than with Old Town Trolley Tours.

*Please remember that if you disembark, add that time to your tour. It is your responsibility to return to the ship on time.

How to get to Old Town Trolley Tours:

picture of key west map showing cruise ship pier locationsThere are 2 cruise ship piers in Key West:

  • Mallory Square
  • The Opal Key Resort & Marina

To return to any of the piers, adults must have both ship’s card (which usually doubles as your room key) and a valid photo identification (passport, driver’s license, etc.)

Mallory Square

Mallory Square is the closest to Key West’s downtown area. It is a short walk into town—just look for the ‘Welcome to Mallory Square’ archway, and walk though.

The Opal Key Resort & Marina

The Opal Key Resort & Marina is where most of the Royal Caribbean ships are docked. It is close to downtown, but is 200-250 yards from the pier to the tour locations. This distance is not affected by whether you take the excursion from the ship or if you walk downtown to take the regular tours.

Foreign Languages

Old Town Trolley Tours offers a 60-minute, non-stop Key West tour in German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese to cruise ship passengers. Please ask at your shore excursion desk or an Old Town Trolley sales representative when you disembark.

For more information call (855) 623-8289.
