This is one of those history tours where the guides treat the job as a labor of love. Have you ever toured a historical site where the guides knew only what they were told to memorize? Have you ever toured a historical site where you knew more than the guide? I get the idea that this never happens here. I... more

We arrived at the gift shop at opening and were the first and as it happened, only visitors. Our guide, Tom, arrived minutes later, and after a short wait, started his tour with just my husband and I. Tom was as delightful as he was knowledgeable and because there was only the two of us his tour was in depth.... more

Hey... I'm a history buff. Beyond this, I enjoy glimpsing the daily "lifestyle" of the past rich, famous, and powerful. Harry S. Truman wasn't rich... but as the President of the United States for the immediate post-WW-2 period and for several years the Commander In Chief of the world's ONLY nuclear power... famous and powerful he was. This isn't a... more

I have been on this tour twice and will probably do it again on my next trip to KW. It is so interesting and informative. The tour guides are very good, generally humourous and knowledgeable. Our last guide was Rene and he was brilliant. It is a must do tour if you are interested in history and KW trivia. Well... more

Had done this tour before but went back I enjoyed it so much and it was just as good. It is a look back into the 40s and 50s in Key West and a lot of information about the Truman presidency. The house is wonderfully decorate in an amazing brezzy Florida but yet mildy formal style. The poker table is... more

Not only is it historic but the tour itself is very interesting. I wasn't sure what I would think but I found this to be time well spent. The grounds are pretty and well groomed and the house has original furnishings. You will hear many interesting stories and facts while touring. It is worth the time, money and effort. Just... more

We arrived just a tour was started. The desk clerk advised it was $15 per person admission. We were mulling about it and he said here are 2 free tickets and if you like the tour, just pay me in the end. So off we went to catch up with the tour. First thing they tell you is 95% of... more

This was the best stop on our Trip. The tour provides you a great insight into this President's life and values. He refused air conditioning because it cost too much ( A huge change from today's Politcians). The tour guides provide a great insight into the man and the events in various rooms of the sprawling home. more
