Must see in Key West. The guided tour was very interesting. It gets a little crowded so the best time to go may be first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. Hemingway was an interesting character!

Tour was recommended by a friend. Frankly I wasn’t sure I was up for a guided tour in a crowded house on a hot day but decided to give it a go. Glad I did. Several points to note: a) our guide was Sarah and she was excellent - know the facts and kept it light and fun and encouraged the group to stay on longer and tour by ourselves if we wanted to get into more details, b) tour is only 30 mins long and provides enough insight to make you want to spend some additional time at the house, c) fun seeing all the cats (and I am not a big cat lover), d) fans in the rooms provide sufficient cooling and e) it’s cash only (was $18 per person when we were there), f) even though it seemed crowded at the gate it wasn’t too crowded inside.

We ended our Caribbean cruise in Florida with a 4 day stay in Ft Lauderdale and a day trip to Key West. It's a 4 hour drive, but when you're a Hemingway fan, you gotta go see the Hemingway Home And Museum. A tour lasts about an hour. The tour guides are very knowledgeable of Hemingway's life and want you to ask questions. There is a sense of pride in showing off artifacts and pictures and the cats throughout the home. I really enjoyed it and consider this trip crossed off on my small bucket list!

The guided tour was a bit pricey, but worth it. I have a degree in writing and am a Hemingway fan for decades, and still learned details from his life that I was unaware of. Go early, because there is no a/c during most of the tour.

We had an amazing time! I knew I wanted to go, but was overwhelmed by how awesome it was. It's 100% worth the trip! I'm normally a self guided kind of girl, but we waited for the tour and were not disappointed! Our guide was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and hilarious! She made the experience amazing! 10/10 would recommend and would go back!

This was our third visit. It is a wonderful museum and perfectly preserved. The guided tour (included) points out many significant items that represent Hemingway’s life, humor and satire. My favs are the cats with extra toes, the last penny H said his wife had squandered when she took out his boxing court and installed the biggest (still) private pool in KY, and the cat fountain (a horizontal urinal).

We loved the Hemingway House - especially seeing all the cats lounging around us. Six-toed cats! Our guide, Scott (I believe) was amazing and very informative. They only take cash but the admission price even at $18 a person was worth it. Take your time and mosey around the impressive house and outdoor settings, pet a few cats, and emerge yourself in history.

This is a walk I tour and you will need cash as they don’t take cards ( but they do in the shop! ) - guided tour worth doing although you will need to go through again to see everything ( where I noticed our tour guide missed some bits of trivia that other guides were saying but guess they all have their own style). I am not a cat person but they were quite sweet and the six toes story is fun ( although definite smell of cat wee in places !!). Quite pricey at $18 but a must see i the Keys and if it helps maintain the house then it’s worth it.

You might as well do it while in KW. Not a boring museum. Takes abot an hour or so. EH is so famous why nit check out his haunch. 58i cats there decendants on EH's cats. Reasonably priced.

We took a guided tour and highly recommend it. We knew virtually nothing about Hemingway when we entered, but learned so much from an energetic young man who was entertaining as well as knowledgeable. The cats are a cool bonus. Bought 2 Hemingway books at the conclusion of the tour and are looking forward to diving in.
