Highly recommended tour! - Very entertaining tour! It exceeded my expectations. We learned some fascinating stories about Sarasota. We really enjoyed it. The only feedback would be for the tour guide to be a little more politically correct.

Discover Sarasota City Tour-A great value - Discover Sarasota city tour is definitely worth taking. I’m fairly familiar with Sarasota but learned several new things on the tour. Our driver, John and guide, Pat were knowledgeable, friendly, humorous and efficient. The 90 minutes flew by. I can recommend the city tour without reservation.

Discover Sarasota Tours - This was a 90 minute tour of Sarasota showing the highlights and bringing in the history of Sarasota. Our narrator was very knowledgeable having done this tour for a lot of years and added humor along the way. The meeting point was easy to find with a nice little gift shop. Discover Sarasota also offers different tours during the week and at night. Check them out!
