Truly outstanding in every way!! - The trolley tour was OUTSTANDING - from the very clean tour bus to the entertaining and knowledgeable guide Steve. Steve was born and raised in Sarasota and had many stories and anecdotes to add to the historic elements of Sarasota. The other staff members were very friendly.
Would highly recommend to those new to the area as well as tourists.

Fun and entertaining - My sister and I had fun on the trolley tour. We learned much about Sarasota past and present. Steve, our tour guide, was entertaining and engaging. The hour and a half flew by. The trolley is heated, which we appreciated on a cool Florida day. We recommend this tour and tour guide. After the tour, we had a map that we used to visit the sites we learned about on our tour.

Great Tour - My husband and I took a Sarasota city tour and absolutely loved every minute of it. We learned a great deal about the city’s history, culture, and local highlights, which gave us a much deeper appreciation for Sarasota. Our guide, Steve, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, sharing fascinating facts and stories in a way that kept the tour engaging and fun from start to finish. He truly brought the city to life. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Sarasota and a wonderful way to get to know the area. We would highly recommend it to friends and family!

Informative - Enjoyed Steve’s passion and knowledge of Sarasota. Would have been nice to have a handout of the spots/areas he pointed out so we could reference or revisit at a later point.

Everything you wanted to know about Sarasota and then some :-) - The City Sightseeing Trolley tour was well organized and fun. The lady in the cottage was adorable, and kind. The driver was exactly what you need for a driver: safe and competent. Steve, our guide and entertainer, was chock-full of information about Sarasota...and himself. :-) He leaned a bit too much into self-promotion, but did make jokes about himself to lighten the delivery.
