Traveler reviews
Short tour that is not worth the steep ticket price
We were looking for something to do out of the brutal summer heat so we decided to give this place a visit. The pricing is too high for the tour and what the house has to offer. The tour should not be more than $20 per person and even that seems a bit steep. I expected a nicer interior for a presidential retreat house. The house is very basic and there was nothing impressive or memorable about it. There are only four rooms to tour and you do not get to see the kitchen. If I had to do it again, I would not return as it was not worth $60 for two people.
Must do in Key West
I am a big fan of Harry Truman and that era, and I think the Little White House does an excellent job of preserving the essence of a president who took his duties seriously but, at the same time, was humble and didn't take himself too seriously. Our tour guide was Joey, and he did an excellent job of telling the stories and setting the stage. If you go, wear a Hawaiian shirt. It's part of the experience, but I won't wreck the story.
Fantastic experience!!
Very nice opportunity to know more about US history. Bob was our guide and he did a fantastic job explaining the importance of the L.ittle White House. I truly recommend it!!
Worthwhile Tour!
I’ve always been interested in Harry Truman, having taught a unit to my 6th graders about World War II, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to see the little White House! Our guide, Bob, knew his topic very well, and I learned several new things: how Truman loved poker and bourbon, and how many other presidents a notable people have been to this house. I also found it fascinating that it was left abandoned for 12 years, and how the historical society brought it back and restored it!
Great tour
Our guide Rick was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the history and learning much about Harry's personality.
