    Well worth the time and money!
    Sheila_W, Mar 2024
    I learned so much about Sarasota in such a short time. I was fascinated by the role of the Ringling brothers. Ed also gave good ideas of places I might want to go back and visit later during my vacation. Highly recommend as a way to appreciate Sarasota at a whole new level.
    Informative and Fun Tour Awaits!

    Our tour guide Pat was the best. He kept you interested in all the history of Sarasota and had many great stories to tell. By the time the tour is over you definitely know how the city was founded. I would recommend this tour.

    Very entertaining guide Steve. Great historical information about Sarasota area. Went by fast! Trolley was intimate, super comfortable for most everyone. We all could hear very well. Seat cushion was a bit firm for 97 year old member of our party. We would highly recommend.

    One great tour
    Joseph_M, Feb 2024
    We were privvy to the John and John show. They were very kowwledgeable and well ininformed about the subject material. Also very humorus, making the trip outstanding
    Shut Up, Steve!
    April_W, Feb 2024
    Steve talked about himself way, way too much, mentioning his acting career, handing out his cards, passing around a coloring book he was trying to sell! Boring! And irritating!
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    What a negative and angry review. Steve is a beloved and entertaining guide who is a native Sarasotan. I am sorry you did not appreciate him or his wonderful tour covering 46 points of interest in downtown Sarasota.
    Great tour!
    MaureenSweet, Feb 2024
    Excellent narrator - great tour! Informative, fun and interesting! If you’re in the area, I strongly recommend going on one of their tours
    Fantastic introduction to Sarasota
    Kath_A, Feb 2024
    Great narration but definitely need to give a heads up to next attraction I felt like I was always searching for what building is he talking about
    Tamiami Highlights

    John excellent guide. Realized city was once a jungle and that oranges are not indigenous to Florida—seeds brought here from Cuba.
