Jon is the BEST - Jon was the best tour guide I've ever had on any tour experience. His enthusiasm was contagious, his knowledge was deep and varied, and his jokes were funny and charming (without being annoying). The tour covered lots of interesting sights and historical points of interest-- gave me really great insight into Sarasota. What a nice time!

Take a tour - Our 2nd tour. Tour guide Jon is knowledgeable about Sarasota history. We got to see areas of Sarasota that I didn’t know existed. Don’t worry about heat. Dolly the Trolley is AC’ed. There are many tours to choose from: sip n see, circus Sarasota, Venice—even a haunted Sarasota but it’s only offered in October. They should offer it year round. Many tours to choose from. Highly recommended.

Sarasota Rediscovered - We have spent a lot of time in Sarasota and thought we knew it pretty well. However, Jon, our guide, shared so much history and interesting facts that we came away with a new understanding of the city. The trolley was a fun way to get around with John as a skilled driver. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun and Informative - SRQ. - What a great opportunity to learn more about our beautiful City of Sarasota. As a resident for the past 11 years. I was familiar with many of the locations on the route, but I learned so much additional information at each stop. Our tour guide, Steve, is extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. His good humor and interesting stories keeps the tour very lively. The trolley is comfortable with good visibility and audibility. Definitely worth your time whether you're a tourist or a native.
