Our guide Jon was terrific as well as the trolly driver Steve! Their knowledge of the Sarasota area and all the history behind it was amazing! We learned a lot and though the Sightseeing tour. It was a superb overview of Sarasota that helped us to get to know the area a lot better.

Our guide was terrific! Her knowledge of the Sarasota area and all the history behind it was amazing! We learnt a lot and thought the Sightseeing tour was a superb overview of Sarasota that helped us to get to know it a lot better especially since I'm considering relocating to the area from South Florida! There is also a really cute Gift Shop inside after the Tour if you like touristy Florida items.

Our guide, Steve, was entertaining and passionate about the city of his birth, Sarasota. He is perfect for this tour because he has LIVED it. We loved the small bursts and stories of history and intrigue linked to the city as it grew from a vision to an art-loving, innovative, eco-sensitive metro center. It’s a great way to get a birds’eye view of the options and later come back to those you may want to savor. An incredible deal of 90-minutes for just $35👍🏼👍🏼
