Very good tour for insight into the history of Sarasota. Excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Only disappointment is that there is no "off" time during the tour. All sites are pass-by only making for photos difficult. That being said, it is a wonderful tour if you're looking for a general overview of Sarasota.

Everyone was so pleasant and inviting. The tour guide Steve had such a fun personality and so much knowledge to share. He had fun facts and interactions with the whole trolley. My friend and I have been coming down to Sarasota for a few years now and thought we hit some good spots ourselves, however we found a gem along the tour and went to see the Marrieta Art and whimsical gallery. Must see if you are a lover of the arts. Thank you so much for such a great experience!! We will be telling our friends.

This was a very good tour with history of Sarasota and great recommendations for dining out. The length of the tour was perfect. Would highly recommend.
