City View Trolley?

How far from the pier is the pickup for the trolley? Can we walk? Also, for those of you who have taken this tour how was it and are there any things we should make sure to "hop off" and see?

Your ship will dock at the Westin Hotel pier and it will be a short walk from the pier around the hotel offices to Front St where you will see City View Trolley.

Have a great visit!

Thank you!

What do you mean when you say "short walk"? A short walk for some may be a very long walk for the next person.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Are you booking through your cruise line or privately through the tour company? We're looking to do this too in October - but it's $20 more through Carnival!! :eek:

I would say maybe 200 yards down the pier and around the hotel offices.

We docked at the "Outer Mole" and had to shuttle into town. (Pain).

Where you dock will depend on your ship and schedule, but the shuttle into town from outer mole will drop you off near where you would catch the trolly tours. Maybe a block away???

Just wanted you to know that you may not be docking in front of the Westin.

Just wondering if anyone has purchased their tickets in advance online? If so, is there an expiry date? I would like to book now for a stop in December.

I thought that downtown Key West was very compact. What is the point of the trolley?:confused:

I don't know if this has changed in the past year, but I purchased tickets online in April 2012. Our plans for our stop there in May 2012 changed and we didn't use the tickets. We went back in November 2013 and were able to use the tickets then with no problems.

It is 2 blocks away..

We just used City View Trolley in Boston and they were great there as well. Nice padded seats and almost half the price of Old Town.

I bought tickets online. They sent me a voucher to print out and bring with me. It had the exact date on it for the tour.

How often does this bus run. Last visit we used OldTown and did nit wait long for a pick up at stops that we got off. Think old runs every 20 minutes

They both run similar schedules about every 20-30 min.

Good to know as I already have my e-tickets for City View Trolley. It is cheaper when purchased online in advance.

I don't think you will be disappointed.

I am seeing City View as the choice of excursions for the cruise lines.

Carnival costs is 29.99 pp

(seems they pick the cruiselines up at the navy base)

so my question is-- how crowded will it be to take this bus

how easy will it be to get on and off the bus?

Maybe it will be a good idea to get on the bus and not get off and let him look at stuff from a distance????

When we did this tour we stayed on the shuttle through all the stops so then we could decide what we were interestd in......and then got off on those stops the second time around...
