The Discover Sarasota City Sightseeing Tour gave me a great sense of Sarasota at the start of my vacation. Guide Jon MacDonald and driver Siggi were great. I learned a lot about the city's history and layout and got great ideas for what to see during my trip. The trolley-style bus was really comfortable. We got water bottles to take on the tour. Discover Sarasota also has a gift shop with lots of fun items related to the various tours. A woman on the tour who lives in Sarasota and seemed to know a lot about it even said she learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour.

We could understand the presenter very well. Sound was good. The person giving the tour was excellent. Travel in the trolley was very tight. A great overview of Sarasota.

The travel guide by the name of Steve was wonderful to listen to. He was informative, humorous, and entertaining enough to keep our attention. The tour was an hour and a half and it was the perfect length due to "too much info" if it had gone any longer. The driver, Sigfried , did an outstanding job managing the heavy traffic, especially when he could discern the back up over the ringling bridge, and made a slight detour to avoid the traffic. I would do another tour again.
