How often do trolleys come to each stop?

During peak times, they cannot guarantee that each trolley will have available seats. Their in-field dispatchers will send another trolley directly to the stop for guests that were unable to board. The trolleys will usually arrive in less than 15 minutes.

How many times can I go through the loop?

You may ride the Old Town Trolley Tour around as many times as you wish and as long as you want. However, they recommend that you get off and on as you go and take advantage of the sights.

Can I bring my stroller on board the trolley?

Yes, the trolley can accommodate strollers but they must be collapsible and will be stored up front with the conductor. Strollers in the aisle ways would constitute a safety hazard. For the safety of the child, it is never allowed for the baby to ride in the stroller through the tour.

Are the trolleys handicap accessible for individuals with hearing impediments, wheelchairs and motorized scooters?

Please make their CAST members aware if you require accommodations. They will gladly provide a tour script guide upon request. If the guest is ambulatory, collapsible wheelchairs can be accommodated at any time. They will fold them and stow them during the tour. Guests may board and disembark at any stop. If a guest is non-ambulatory or has a non-collapsible chair/scooter, they do have several trolleys equipped with hydraulic lifts. For the safety of the guest, the lift can be deployed at stops 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 10 (Mallory Square, Mac’s SeaGarden, Simonton Row, Roosevelt Depot, Hampton Inn, and the Casa Marina.) They request that you give them as much notice as possible as to your arrival date and the time you’d like to take the tour (24 hours preferred) through their website. Please arrive at your pre arranged stop no less than 15 minutes prior to your departure time so that they can accomplish the loading process smoothly and safely. This means that you will need to secure your own transportation to one of these locations and that you cannot utilize the ON/OFF privileges on the tour.

Are dogs allowed on the Key West Old Town Trolley tours?

Service animals are the only animals that are allowed on board the trolleys. A service animal means a dog, regardless of breed or type, that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Animal species other than dogs, emotional support animals, comfort animals, companionship animals, and service animals in training are not service animals.

Are the trolleys enclosed?

The trolleys are open-air vehicles but have plastic “isinglass” windows that can roll up or roll down depending on the weather conditions.

Does the tour still operate in inclement weather?

Can I bring my luggage onboard?

Space on the trolleys is limited, but in some cases, it may be acceptable to bring a small suitcase on board. Bear in mind that the trolleys are designed specifically for sightseeing and therefore contain limited storage space (as compared to motor coaches).

Is there parking anywhere?

Parking on a 2 mile by 4 mile island can be difficult. Their tour route and stops are at convenient locations all around the island, within walking distance of most major hotels and attractions.
