I really had a great time on our tour. I saw a lot I’ve never seen and of course learned a lot as well! I really enjoyed our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and knew so many architects and what they had done in their history. It was very interesting. Sarasota is a wonderful town and I’m glad I got to see more of it and learn moreof its history. Thank you for a great time.
