I have lived here for 29 years and found the City Sightseeing Tour to be fun and informative. We learned so many things and saw places that we had not yet discovered. Our guests who were visiting from Texas really enjoyed the tour also. I will definitely recommend this tour to others and plan to go on more of their tours. Jon was a wonderful tour guide! Great job Discover Sarasota, so glad you are doing these tours!

I took the City Tour in April and enjoyed it very much. Info on the web site was very informative and easy to book the tour. When we arrived for the tour the owner was very friendly and glad to see us. The lady who did the tour was interesting and enthusiastic. The tour included all the highlights of Sarasota. A few of the places we rode by we went to visit after the tour. Would recommend the tour company and hope to do another tour they offer.

We've been coming on vacation to Sarasota for 15 years and never knew all the cool things or saw the hidden gems of the city until this trip. Recommend it highly.
