Great Halloween Haunted Tour - Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the cast. However, it was hard to see the sights because of the dark. Leaving a little earlier might be a better experience.

Fantastic! - The Haunted Sarasota Trolley tour was absolutely delightful! The professional entertainment was unexpected and was theater quality! The local history was fascinating to learn. Some of my friends who are lifelong residents were intrigued by the new knowledge from the troupe of actors. Bravo! I'd also like to give a shout out to Elizabeth Pickett Gray for organizing this!

Discover Sarasota Tours: The Best Entertainment in Sarasota! - My husband and I love the Haunted Sarasota tour. It is so entertaining and interesting. Lady Melody is the tour guide and shares the fascinating macabre haunted history of Sarasota. Additional actors join the trolley at various stops in Sarasota, and they provide fabulous entertainment with a great sense of humor. Lady Melody will occasionally break into song, and without a doubt, she is a professionally trained singer with a voice that would be right at home on Broadway. Kudos to Tammy Hauser, the founder of Discover Sarasota Tours. I cannot imagine the work and complexity of putting together these tours. She does it seamlessly. They are so much fun, you don't want the tour to end. We are looking forward to our next tour.

October 2024 Sarasota Ghost tour - WE had a good time. My husband and I have been in Sarasota since 1981 and knew a lot about the different areas we traveled in for the Ghost tour, but we defiantly learned more things about our great town of Sarasota. And it was fun with our 3 tours guides on this tour. I would highly recommend this to others.

Ghost tour - It was fun to learn about sarasota history. It was full of laughs and lots of new knowledge. I took my family with me and we enjoyed the time. The only thing as I’m a bigger lady is seat areas were little small

Save your money. - I thought it was pretty cheesy and didn’t really say anything about the actual ghost stories. Poor actors jumping on board at a few places didn’t really do anything for us.
