Can’t wait to do another Discover Sarasota tour! - Pat was a great tour guide, funny and very knowledgeable ! We’ve lived in the area for 25 years and learned and saw things we didn’t know. The trolley’s a/c worked great on a scorching day and cold water was provided for the tour. Can’t wait to try another tour soon!

Best entertainment on a Trolley! - I have lived in Florida, Sarasota/Bradenton area, for 10 years. I finally found out how and when Sarasota grew to be an entertainment and cultural center. Jon and Alex took us all around describing and showing us the high points (and low points) of Sarasota. Very, very entertaining especially, with many personal stories included. We all had a great time and we owe it to Jon!
Great job!

Don’t miss this one! - This was a lot of fun! They take you all around, lots of really interesting beautiful stuff to see. The guide was funny, and had a lot of interesting stories. Definitely something you don’t want to miss if you’re in Sarasota. Maybe bring a cushion or two though, the bench seats can be quite brutal if you’re getting a bit older.

Entertaining, educational and fun!! - My wife and I recently moved to Sarasota and wanted to tour the area to learn more about what our new city has to offer. It was an amazing tour! John and John took great care of us on the tour, and it was very entertaining and informative. Highly recommend!!

Well worth it. - Very educational. And not just the best known sights, but also on the less known residential neighborhoods. The guide has lived in Sarasota since 1970 and was knowledgeable about all types of architecture, restaurants, government buildings, how the city developed, etc. Highly recommended.

Sing Along! Great fun! - The first of the fun, soon to be popular, Sing Along Trolley tour was last night.
We began with cocktails on th back porch of the trolley cottage. On boarding the trolley, we were met with Bohemian Rhapsody, " playing through the speakers . Who could resist? Be prepared for familiar songs you can join in and sing along. Michelle and Brandon were our charming and talented guides. There was a stop for complementary drink at 99 Bottlrs, a local bar. I was a nice way to make friends with our fellow passengers. Our driver/DJ Patrick was a huge part of the evening's fun.
This is a fun tour to experience with friends. Loosen up...sing along...no solos required!

Enjoyable city tour - Our tour guide Jon was quite knowledgeable, fun, and relaxed. It was a nice way to see around town and learn some background information. The seating was fairly comfortable with padded seats, the quaint little gift shop is adorable, and the mirror in the restroom is unexpected :)
