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.

Ed is a gem! He knew such detail about the different sarasota neighborhoods. He also kept to date on all the new happenings.
After the tour, he did highly recommend the breakfast across the way. It did not disappoint!

We are new to the area and wanted to learn a bit more of the history of Sarasota. Pat our Irish tour guide and Paul our driver were fantastic. Pat was so knowledgeable about Sarasota’s history sharing it with a mix of humor and fact, in addition to sharing tips on free areas to check out, restaurants suggestions and places to check out sunsets. Don’t miss this tour and make sure you ask when Pat is working.
