This was a neat attraction - unfortunately for us, the AC was broken when we were there, so it was a bit miserable. Definitely take the guided tour - you will learn a lot about Truman and the history of the house. The only thing I really disliked is that you can't take any pictures inside. more

We enjoyed the tour immensely, the tour guide was very imformative, a retired high school teacher. The house looks great, and the remodeling is really coming along. While inside the house, you get the feel you are back in the 1940's. I can see why President Truman enjoyed it so much. more

As has been written before, the knowledge and wit of the tour guides make the tour wonderful. They really know their stuff, and you learn about history without even knowing you are learning. I felt like a met President Truman personally after touring the house. The tour was quite short, maybe an hour if that. There were places to sit... more

Our guide was excellent! I learned a lot about our previous president, and was pleased to find a lot of the items in the house were from the period he occupied it. The building is in very good condition, and this tour should not be missed. more

The guide was personable, knowledgable, and fun. The Truman Little White House tour was better for the history than for the building itself. We learned about Key West, other presidents, American history, recent developments concerning the facility, and especially about President Truman. The price is typical of the Key West admissions and I felt it was very worthwhile. Plan on... more

As compared to the Cat Farm (Hemingway house) This tour is a MUST see! The house is undergoing historical preservation and showed some signs as such, but this just added to the tour. more

I dont really recommend this tour to people that have kids and are just tired and have sore feet. Dont get me wrong, it was an interesting tour but my feet hurt and there was no place to rest them before or after the tour and some folks had cranky kids with them and it just made them more cranky... more

We purchased two tours (this and Hemingway House) and received a discount. This was great tour and our tour guide (can't recall his name) really made it enjoyable. You could tell he enjoyed his job. I definitely recommend this if you have any interest in presidential history. more

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The tour guide, Mr. I, was wonderful. The tour lasted about 45 minutes and provided a wealth of information. Truman was one of my father's favorites- he was a World War 11 vet- so I was familiar with Truman and his presidency. My teenage daughter enjoyed the tour as well. The... more

Forgive this old history buff when I gush over this real treat. The little white house really served many presidents but is mostly about Harry Truman. Our guide was an old guy who was worth the price of admission all by himself. His jest and passion and humour brought the little white house and President Truman and others to life... more
