Found so many interesting districts and parks to explore further. Definitely will want to book a few of the other tours. This is a great addition to "things to do" in Sarasota.

We were 17 "girls" that really enjoyed our tour. Steve was an outstanding tour guide. I highly recommend Discover Sarasota Tours. Jean M

I’m not a tour fan in general, but I wanted to take my mother to visit her new neighborhood of Sarasota. Our tour guide, Jon, was a native of 20-plus years and had the back story of how Sarasota has become the charming town it has become. You could tell this wasn’t just a job for him, he clearly loves what he is doing. The driver (Siggy) was pretty entertaining as well and they had good rapport. He had the usual stats and also lots of fun facts and personal anecdotes. He gave tips of other attractions that might be worthy of visiting. The tour vehicle is a trolley with wooden seats and my mother’s backside was a little sore after an hour and a half so bring a little pillow if you think you’ll need it. (She’s a skinny little thing). The business is in a little house that’s a bit hard to see from the road. They had plenty of parking. The rooms of the business are filled with gifts and souvenirs. There is a bathroom. Before the tour they give you a souvenir map and a cold bottle of water. I can highly recommend this tour.
