Many of our frequent vacation rental guests will tell you that one of the Key West traditions that you definitely want to experience on your next trip would be any one of the Key West pub crawls. The most famous, the Duval Crawl, features a guided tour to Duval Streets most popular and fun bars. For around $30 you can join a group of fellow party connoisseurs on a two and half hour excursion through Key West's downtown and historic seaport area while enjoying a free drink in each bar you will visit.
The tour fee will usually include a tee shirt and other souvenirs as part of your tour. The bars will also have food specials just for the tour group to sample some of Key West's finest culinary delights. The tour guides I would point out are very entertaining and will include contests and lots of humor to liven up your adventure.
