This is so great to hear. I also enjoy seeing all the art in all the hidden places in neighborhoods that are gems.

This was an incredible hour and a half! Our guide, Jerome Chesley, a local artist, knew the subject so thoroughly and shared just the right amount with easy enthusiasm that was a pleasure to listen to! I've been on several other tours where Siggy was the same jovial fun driver. Like other tours I have been on with Discover SRQ, this was fabulous! Long enough, yet short enough and packed with interesting Sarasota facts and tidbits.

Awesome tour. Our tour guide, Jerome, was great! The trolley driver, Siggi was very cautious as he traveled to and from each destination. I would recommend Discover Sarasota Tours to all.
