Fun, Informative, Interesting Tour of Beautiful Sarasota!
Michelle_D, Feb 2023
Loved getting around the city and learning about the history of Sarasota, as well as the impact of the Ringling family. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about how the city has grown and changed. The trolley was comfortable, the driver navigated some of those tight turns and helped point out things of interest, and the guide was pleasant, entertaining and knew her stuff! The cost of the tour is reasonable and worth it! My friends and I throroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone looking for an overview of Sarasota!!!
Scheduling fowl up by Trolley Company
Robert_S, Feb 2023
Waited patiently on a Sunday morning only to be rescheduled
Should have given some comp
Disappointed
But agent was nice
Said it was first time in 2 1/2 years
Response from Host, Feb 2023
I am sorry you had to experience this. It was the first time in 4 years that our guide and driver thought the tour started at 1 not 11. I had changed the time and they did not catch it. Our fault for sure and again, it never happens.
I wish you would not have written this review until you took the tour. You told the front desk agent that it was all ok but apparently, it was not. We are a tiny tour company running hundreds of tours a year all on time and all as scheduled. It is hard for me to read this review when it does not reflect the quality of our tours or the way we do business. I am not sure what compensation you expected or what we could offer other than moving you to another date that you chose. Again I am sorry that you were inconvenienced.
Exceptional, even the third time!
Janice_P, Feb 2023
This is my third time on this tour. Gets better every excursion! John McDonald gave me the most comprehensive experience ever. I enjoyed every time. Get a mimosa at the quaint breakfast beach house before a 1pm tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you for your loyal support! You are definately a SUPER Fan!
Wonderful introduction to Sarasota!!
Kathleen_B, Jan 2023
Our tour guide, Jon MacDonald, was exceptional! He was respectful to all of the participants and, importantly, to his good-natured driver. Jon's enthusiasm, knowledge, and pride in his city were infectious! The ninety-minute tour was jam packed with interesting tidbits about the history of Sarasota, its cultural centers, great restaurants, and a variety of sights. He peppered us with fun questions along way. Really a wonderful way for visitors and new residents to learn about the city. The tour made me want to come back and visit the museums, restaurants, and stores. Worth every penny!
City trolly tour
Duane_P, Jan 2023
The guide with his facts mixed with some story telling and learning the history of the area. The whole experience was easy. All the staff were great in the roles they played. This survey needs to be shortened so people don’t lose interest in doing it.
Really liked hearing all...
Lois_L, Jan 2023
Really liked hearing all of the history of Sarasota.
Liked where name came from, possible reasons hurricanes have been kind to area, learning more about the Ringling brothers and their impact on the area.
Impressed with city’s support of the arts.

Sightseeing trolley tour of Sarasota
heidi_y, Dec 2022
Wonderful experience! Our tour, God, Steve, was fabulous! He was funny articulate, and very knowledgeable of the history in Sarasota. Having been born and raised in Sarasota, he had a lot of personal insight into the history.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who visits Sarasota!
