Sarasota is known for its support of the arts and riding in the trolley and getting to see so many amazing murals and sculptures throughout the city was SO interesting! We have vacationed down here for over 30 years and yet have missed seeing so much art!! I highly recommend this fun 2 hour tour.

This narrated art tour aboard an antique trolley is the perfect way to see all the amazing sculptures, statues, murals, and buildings in beautiful Sarasota. The tour guide, Jerome Chesley, an artist himself, was the perfect guide to highlight the stunning pieces of art we saw on the tour. He was a wealth of knowledge. We came away with a new found appreciation of lovely Sarasota.

I purchased this tour as a pleasant way to familiarize my boyfriend, who’s from Massachusetts, with Sarasota. I’ve lived here for 31 years, and this trolley took us down streets I’d never seen before! It also highlighted sculptures and murals I’ve driven by but never noticed because my eyes were on the road. Our guide was a pleasant man, himself an accomplished artist. His wife started this business. I can’t say he is a natural public speaker, but he did not make us suffer through corny jokes, which often happens on city tours. Plan to spend time in the business’s gift shop. You’ll find a lot of fun stuff. The driver, Siggy, was very safe and slow. We didn’t get thrown against each other as he was taking turns or going around the roundabouts. The trolley necessarily has big windows. The sun got to be too hot, so be prepared for a warm experience mid-afternoons. I suggest you book mornings if you can.
