Tammy, the owner of the Tour company was most helpful when I inquired about the mechanics of bringing a group on a tour. She is a professional and it is evident she filled a missing link in the fabric of Sarasota, bringing its history, legends, and highlights to the forefront which results in an engaging experience for her guests. Keep up the good work and we will be back to take more tours!

Meet at the cute little gift shop on 4th street, where there is free, shaded parking. Tammy will greet you and tell you what to expect. A free cold bottle of water was offered for our tour. I boarded the very cute trolley right on time, and we were introduced to Steve, who was our very knowledgable and entertaining guide for the duration of the tour. He uses a microphone, so I had no problems hearing him, even at the back of the trolley. This is simply a bus tour; you do not disembark and visit any of the sights, but Steve offers his recommendations on sights, restaurants, and shopping that you can plan on your own time. This was a very educational tour that was definitely worth my time.
