About Tour Guide Whiskeyrick W.
History nerd who enjoys sharing stories... I have been giving tours for a couple years now but have a life long passion for education (my son says I take the "fun" out of things by teaching him something while doing things... lol). On stage management experience at Disneyland along with Olympic moments in Utah give me unapparelled customer service with the ability to adapt tours for guests enjoyment. Always learning -- as Harry Truman said "there is nothing new in history, just what you don't know" and I intend to teach you things along while entertaining you. Reviews on my tours frequently comment on how I blend comedy with an engaging style that leaves them awed. I am constantly reading and learning so your tour will get those items added into what I already know and share. Your questions will inspire me to learn and grow. Let's have some fun and enjoy Key West!!

Get ready to walk the town and get those bucket list photos. We will start in the Seaport and make our way to the Southernmost Point and back. It maybe 1 mile from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico along Duval street, but we will make our way in a zig zag fashion so you can get the picture spots you want to capture while in Key West.

Sip N Stroll with history, laughs, tales, hidden gems
Happy Hour tour!! Ok EVERY hour in Key West is Happy Hour. This is your tour. It is designed as a historic sip n stroll to discuss what happened in key places in town and go into more detail and depth. With that typed many folks just want faster and funnier so we can keep moving and going to different spots. The famous watering holes are there. I can take you to the ones that are nearby and have unique stories as well. We can also mix in items from my other tours if you wish.

Welcome to Key West -- history and tips
What a way to start your stay in Key West... a walking tour that will cover the Old Town area from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Understand the history and how the island grew as the seaport became prosperous and needed more space. Get an overview on today and an idea where things are to do and places to eat (sorry with so many GREAT places to dine and everybody having very different tastes I prefer to give tailored recommendations on my tour vice trip advisor top places). WELCOME
Historic Seaport Stroll
The Spanish founded Key West in 1513 while the Indians have been in the keys since 2000BC. The natural harbor would provide shelter during storms while the fresh water well would enable survival when ships stopped for resupply. As commerce increased in the 1800's the city became a very wealthy town. Turtle harvesting, cigar making, sponge farming, and of course fishing would sustain this seaport until tourism today. This tour will share all that and more.
Key Lime Experience
Key lime pie was created in the Keys ... hear the story and visit those places where it came together. We will try a few types of pie, ice cream, and candy. For those over 21 we can add an adult beverage or two into the mix. We will walk about a mile in just under 2 hours trying various types and learning the history and flavors.

“Whiskey Rick doesn't diappoint”
Our hour long custom tour of Key West was made amazing by Whiskey Rick. He shared Jimmy Buffett, Hemingway, island history, and architecture into the tour as we walked around. Very knowledgeable and full of fun stories! He is also very funny while professional. Gave many recommendations for restaurants and other places to explore. Knows many of the local musicians and who he recommends for the rest of the week. Very easy to customize to our group. I would highly recommend Whiskey Rick! Dkell
