The "overview" tour was packed with insights into the founding of Sarasota and the founders' foibles underneath their aura of riches, including the fabulous architecture. We did not expect Sarasota to be a culture haven, either, and even better, the tour guide was personally invested in the retelling of the explosive growth in 1927 and its dynamic growth today. Guide made excellent restaurant recommendations including Mediterranean Restaurant 1592, which was really good. Van was cool and comfortable and driver skillful. If we knew earlier in our trip how good these tours are we'd have done more!!
