Jean, the owner, does an amazing tour of Tarpon Springs. As a former history teacher and a long time resident she knows all the key points of interest. We did the longer tour allowing for a few stops for photo ops but Jean was happy to slow down for us to also be able to capture pics from the cart. We never would have seen all the beautiful things in Tarpon Springs had we not taken this tour. Don't simply visit the main street! Take this tour and see so much more!

Amazing and informative tour. Jean is a former history teacher and her knowledge of the area is abundant. Golf carts are very high end and comfortable. We booked the longer tour with a few photo op stops and Jean was happy to slow down for us to take photos from the cart of other sites/places as well. We saw so much of this amazing town that we never would have seen had we not done this tour. Highly recommend!!
