"My family traveled to Key West in April and we bought the DVD before we left. It was less a guide and more of a good overview of the island with great imagery, local music and a well-written voiceover.
We did find a lot of the places on the DVD and felt we had a more informed vacation after watching and learning about Key West on this DVD."
Not great

"I thought it would be a vacation guide to Key West. It was not. Firstly, it is very short. Just over 50 minutes. It did not point out specific sites or the best places to go (someone had stated it was an "insiders view", I would disagree). It did feature the "Conch Train" which was sort of interesting. But it was mainly a historical/cultural look at Key West. In doing so, it was far too brief to be particularly effective. Also, it came in a cheap cardboard container. Not the typical size or construction of a DVD container. For the price, I expect better. Bottom line, if you are looking for a vacation guide try something else. If you just want to see what Key West "looks like", you may enjoy this DVD. Even then, it is far to brief to justify the cost ... Not particularly well done either."

"Even if you have been a repeat visitor to Key West, the zest of this dvd exploration will make you want to go back again. Mr. McGill's montage reveals the magic of Key West and why its allure never fades. It is an enchanted place, and these delightful DVD images show why.Lee Drury De Cesare"
A Good Glimpse of the Popular Island

"I found this DVD almost by accident by researching our recent trip to Key West on a popular Key West site. I found that, in addition to a paper guide book we bought, the DVD gave us good insight into the many interesting and quirky facets that make Key West such a special place. I recommend it for what it is...a well-made tour of Key West."
Informative, entertaining look at Key West

"I bought this DVD while on a visit to Key West recently and wished I had seen it before I left on my trip. I found out it was produced by local professionals, and you can tell because it contains no silly ads or commercial content. Just carefully-selected, beautiful scenery of the island, the reefs, aerial stuff...and great interviews throughout with some truly colorful Key Westers. Captain Outrageous could only live, and "work", in Key West! Nice work!"
