Friendly owners, very clean bathroom at the starting point. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. We enjoyed the whole tour. Some guests were not wearing masks.

Tour itself was good and informative. Was disappointed that 4 of 9 passengers did not wear their required masks with no enforcement. We were inside a small van and I did not feel safe, especially with my 90 year old father on board. We have not all been vaccinated yet. Do not join this tour as they do not practice COVID protocols.

Ellen, this is just not true. I spoke with the guide who said that all 9 passengers were in masks. Everyone in our shop and boarding any of our vehicles is asked to wear their masks and most gladly comply. The two women sitting in back who are physicians took off their masks to take a drink of water from the water bottle we provide. He never noticed them not wearing any mask. He also said that you and your dad were laughing and enjoying the tour immensely so I do not understand why you would write this review. We are a small business who has polices we do our best to enforce and we have had 0 issues with COVID since we reopened in June. I wish you would focus your review on the excellent tour experience we provide. It does not help to promote fear and misinformation. Our guides are vaccinated and we take everyone's temp. Most people coming on our tours have been vaccinated already. I encourage you to do so.

Steve was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area. Lots of history plus a sense of humor to keep it light and interesting. Would recommend to get a good overview of Sarasota. Wish we’d taken tour on our first day instead of morning we had to leave...would have liked to go back and spend time in some areas and might have tried a few of the local restaurants pointed out on the tour.
