Very enjoyable tour of Sarasota. Guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We got to see major points of interest. Highly recommend for first timers. Sit in the front if you can. The air conditioning does not work well in the back.

A definite must do. I live in Gulf Gate, Sarasota and finally was able to do the trolley. Whenever I visit a new city the first thing I do is a Trolley so I can learn where I want to go. This really was informative. Thanks
