Excellent tour first time for us on Sarasota and the moment you arrive everyone was friendly and appreciated your business. My husband cannot walk far and getting on and off trolley was not a problem. They also have a wheelchair lift on trolley we saw them use for others. Would highly recommend this company and it’s a great way to see the area. Tour guide was very friendly and knew a huge amount of facts about area he also seemed to love what he was doing !

I live in downtown Sarasota and decided to check out the city tour. So glad I did. The trolley is a very comfortable air conditioned bus designed to look like an old fashioned trolley with large windows for viewing the sights. Free bottled water was provided. It poured rain during part of our trip but that didn't detract from our ability to hear the tour guide or see the buildings and neighborhoods that were pointed out. Our tour guide was great. She was an actress who belongs to the historical society. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city, buildings, neighborhoods, cultural history and tips for exploring interesting sights in more depth on our own. I'd go on this tour again because of the wealth of interesting information provided. Great tour to take visitors on. The city tour far exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely take more tours through this company.
