FAQS ABOUT FOOD TOURS in Key West
How do food tours in Key West work?
Discover the island’s best local spots, hidden gems, and rich culinary history with food tours in Key West. From fresh-caught seafood and tropical Caribbean fare to Cuban classics and Key lime delights, eating tours expose you to the area’s eclectic culinary scene. Once you’ve chosen a tour, simply select your preferred time and number of guests at booking. You’ll meet your local guide in the iconic Old Town and hit four to six handpicked stops with exclusive tastings that are waiting when you arrive. Typically, tours last two to three hours. You’ll sample everything from conch fritters and Cuban cuisine to locally distilled rum and iconic Key lime pie.
Do food tours accommodate vegetarians or other dietary needs?
If you have specific dietary needs, many eating tours can offer alternative options with advance notice. While accommodations aren’t guaranteed, guides do their best to create an inclusive and enjoyable experience. Each tour is thoughtfully curated to highlight the island’s tropical flavors, from conch fritters and Cuban sandwiches to Key lime pie and locally distilled rum, so it’s important to check the individual tour's page for menu details before booking. For any questions or special requests, our Cozymeal concierge team is here to ensure your culinary adventure suits your taste.
Are food tours family-friendly?
Food tours are a fantastic option for families, couples, and groups looking to explore the city’s eclectic food scene and dive into its history. While many tours are family-friendly, there are a few things to keep in mind if you're bringing little ones. Most tours run two to three hours and include a fair amount of walking and standing as you explore neighborhoods like Old Town and the Historic Seaport — rain or shine. In addition, you’ll visit four to six standout spots featuring everything from conch fritters and Cuban sandwiches to island-style key lime pie and rum tastings. If you’re unsure about fit or accommodations, our Cozymeal concierge team is always happy to help.
How much do food tours cost?
Whether you're sampling conch fritters by the waterfront or indulging in a rum tasting in Old Town, the cost of foodie tours depends on the group size and type of experience you choose. You’ll find everything you need to know on the tour page, from the starting price per person and the menu to the duration and a quick introduction to your expert local guide. Most tours start around $59 per person and can climb above $100. Once you’ve selected your date and added your guest count, your total price will update automatically. Still have questions or need help finding the perfect tour? Our friendly Cozymeal concierge team is here to assist.
Is there enough to eat on the tour?
The best food tours take you along the backstreets of Old Town or the Historic Seaport to enjoy four to six carefully selected seasonal dishes prepared by the chef or proprietor just for you. From authentic Cuban pork sandwiches and Caribbean-inspired seafood to iconic Key lime pie and crispy conch fritters, you’ll taste the tropical flavors that define the island. With expert guides sharing fascinating maritime stories and the Caribbean influences behind each delicious bite, you’ll walk away with a full belly and a deeper insight into the island’s unique culinary culture.
What happens if there’s bad weather?
Food tours run rain or shine, so come prepared no matter the forecast. While the island enjoys plenty of sunshine, a surprise shower can roll through, so it’s wise to bring an umbrella or a light layer just in case. Unless your guide contacts you directly, your tour will proceed as planned. Some tours involve a fair amount of walking outdoors, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Need to cancel or reschedule? Check the specific tour page for cancellation policies. Unfortunately, bookings made within 48 hours are non-refundable. For questions or accommodations, the Cozymeal concierge team is always happy to help.
How much do you tip the food tour guide?
When you book eating tours in Key West, tipping is entirely up to your discretion, but always appreciated. The listed price includes all tastings, expert planning, and smooth service, so you can focus on enjoying each flavorful bite without reaching for your wallet. That said, if your local guide elevates your experience, sharing captivating stories about the island’s food scene, history, and tucked-away culinary treasures, a tip is a thoughtful way to say thank you. A gratuity of 10% to 25% of the tour price is a generous gesture that reflects your appreciation for outstanding hospitality and insider knowledge.
Are food tours worth it?
Food tours are the best way to learn about the island’s rich culinary tapestry and discover the hidden gems you won’t find in the tourist traps along Duval Street. Whether you're visiting for the week or lucky enough to call Key West home, food tours are fun, flavor-packed adventures that offer a deep look at the diverse cultures and coastal traditions that define the local food scene, from fresh-caught seafood and Cuban classics to tropical desserts, rum tastings, and Caribbean fusion dishes. Perfect for romantic date nights, birthday celebrations, or team-building outings, foodie tours blend history, laid-back island charm, and bold flavors into one unforgettable experience.
