It was interesting to learn about the Ringling brothers and how they were different. The whole tour was interesting as we had never been to Sarasota before. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable being he was from that area. The trolley driver even included a few interesting facts.

Thanks so much from Discover Sarasota Tours for this great review! We agree--the Ringlings contributed so many things in different ways to make Sarasota the wonderful city it is. This is Siggi our driver's favorite tour so he loves to chime in!
