Not only did we see the best of Sarasota but we also had a great guide and driver! So much to see and learn and our tour guide was not only interesting but also entertaining ! This tour has given us a good preview of all the places to visit and things to do for other visits and the history gave us an unexpected perspective as wel. Highly recommended!

Jon macDonald was an amazing tour guide. He had the full attention of everyone on the tour describing the history of Sarasota going back to 1860. My husband and I were in awe of how Sarasota was discovered and built including the input of the Ringling Brothers. We discovered places of interest and restaurants and shopping that otherwise we would have been unaware. We were disappointed that we did not have enough vacation time to visit all points of interest. If you visit Sarasota, do yourself a favor and book this tour. You won’t be disappointed.

This was one of favorite activities in Sarasota. We took the van tour. The driver and the tour guide were extremely nice and interesting. We learned a great deal about Sarasota and its history, the current art scene, and what fun activities we should try out. I highly recommend this tour.
