An enjoyable introduction to Sarasota’s history and packed with mentions of places to visit. The trolley was adequately air conditioned on a 90-degree day, and the benches have a comfortable pad. Steve’s narration was lively, humorous and informed.

Lots of interesting facts about Sarasota. One hour and a half of fun facts and history about the city. Seats a little hard, but worth the trip.

Fantastic 90 minute tour led by Steve that took us through multiple historic communities of Sarasota. He was both interesting and entertaining. We could have listened to this native’s stories for hours! Highly recommend doing the tour early on in your stay so you can go back and visit many of the sites later.
