Old Town Trolley Tours

By Angela Ash

Visiting an unfamiliar city can be hectic and a bit nerve-racking, especially when you are on a strict time limit. Whether you have an afternoon or an entire week, I can not imagine a better way to see Key West than on the Old Town Trolley! 

Any time I find myself researching a new city, the first thing I do is check to see if they have an Old Town Trolley in the area.  I can not begin to explain how my cares seem to melt away when I see that gorgeous, orange vehicle rolling down the street!  Not only will it get you where you want to go, but you will see places that you didn't even know about, but feel the urge to visit. 

And the wonderful thing about the Old Town Trolley is that not only does it stop at 13 places with over 100 points of interest, but you can hop back on whenever you like!  You never have to worry about finding a taxi or meandering through unknown streets to search for a bus, whose route you are completely unsure of.  You simply find the trolley stop, and in a few minutes you will be relaxing on the Old Town Trolley. 

Now, if you are really short on time, the trolley does a complete, narrated tour of Key West, and you just stay right in your seat until you arrive back where you started.  Simple enough? 

I sometimes find myself on the Old Town Trolley, zipping down the street with the wind in my hair, and I feel sorry for the people that we pass along the sidewalks, carrying heavy shopping bags and literally dragging a child or two.  I want to yell out the window, pointing up ahead at the next trolley stop.  It feels wrong to just allow them to trudge along, missing out on the best tour, method of transportation, and the most informative and entertaining thing to do in all of Key West! 

But they will learn, as I did, and after being passed by this trolley full of happy customers, soon purchasing Old Town Trolley Tour tickets will be at the top of any vacation planning agenda!
