This tour is a MUST for visitors to Sarasota and residents alike. The history of this area is fascinating and great places to eat, shop, and enjoy the arts were pointed out. Most of all, our guide, John, and driver, Pat, were delightful. They made the ride in the clean, comfortable van informative and fun.

This tour was the perfect way to see and learn about Sarasota. Our tour guide, Pat and our driver, Chris were both fantastic and gave us so much information about the history of the city. They gave us great recommendations for restaurants and the two we tried were "spot on". I will definitely take another Discover Sarasota tour when I am back in Sarasota and highly recommend!
