Excellent tour guide to a great evening - Kelly was a terrific tour guide full of information on the history of Sarasota. She was personable with a good sense of humor. The restaurant choices were great. Good food and drinks. Our group of seven friends all enjoyed the evening and all would highly recommend .

A "must do" activity in Sarasota - Debated between taking just the food tour or this Sip and Dine Tour. Definately made the right choice. Fantastic experience! Kelley was awesome. Chose great mix of 4 restaurants with background and history on each, and the food and drink were great. Also, provided in dept history of Sarasota with photos. She kept the entire group involved and informed. The food and drink were both delish!

Walking Food Tour in downtown Sarasota - Our tour guide Kelley was very communicative in advance of our tour. She also provided us a brief summary of her culinary experience, as well as the restaurants we would be visiting. She provided many historical insights, including photos of the development of Sarasota, along with the evolution of the culinary scene which we enjoyed tremendously. We visited several restaurants and ate at four. It was a nice variety of specialty cocktails and food. We enjoyed being able to walk to all the destinations. It proved to be a very helpful tour for our friends who just recently relocated to downtown Sarasota. We understand Sunset Tours also offers tours in St. Petersburg and Tampa which we hope to schedule in the future. If you are looking for a casual evening out with something of interest to entertain I recommend booking this tour.

Fun way to spend an evening - Fun way to find the hidden places of Sarasota if you don’t know the town well. Good food and lots to drink - be careful as each place has a different spirit!! Good food and ambience and interesting and fascinating facts from our guide.

Fun tour - Tour was fun. We went to 4 restaurants, spent about an hour at each one and had predetermined food and a choice of 1 of 2 drinks. All food and drinks were very good. Tommy the tour director was awesome. Learned a lot about the history of Sarasota. The only complaint many of us had was 1 of the restaurants we went to was a Sushi restaurant and they served us a cheeseburger slider. Didn’t seem right they didn’t even offer Sushi as a choice, Some of us ordered Sushi on our own to try the food of this restaurant. A cheeseburger at a Sushi restaurant, confusing.

Huge Disappointment - Our tour guide was Tommy who I would characterize as just ok unless you like hearing about his culinary business and all the VIPs he is involved with. Our first restaurant was good, but then we went to a sushi restaurant and received one cheeseburger slider,yes at a sushi restaurant. You do not get a choice of 8-10 different options. One drink at each restaurant with limited choice. Recommend spending $135.00 per person at an upscale restaurant. Thank goodness the people on our tour were a lot of fun.
