The Haunted Trolly Tour was absolutely FANTASTIC ! From the Hostess to the character actors, to the stories....this was such a FUN night! Well worth it and I highly recommend!
We had an AMAZING time on the Haunted Trolley Tour. We will be back.
This was the perfect tour of Sarasota. It truly is a “Mom & Pop” company, ran by a married couple who have a true passion for the city of Sarasota. Not only was the tour highly informative, but it was also fun, and the personal story that John, the tour guide shares with you about his connection to the Sarasota Theater was truly heartfelt. It’s refreshing to see people who are truly passionate about what they do. I can’t wait to do this tour again and to show someone in Sarasota a great time. The people running the company make this tour extra special. You will leave the tour with a. Warm feeling and desire to explore the great city of Sarasota even more!
The City trolley tour left right on time and Pat the guide was terrific. He knew all the history of Sarasota and interspersed his information with little known stories and pointed out his favorite restaurants and museums to go to along with major points of interest. It’s amazing how much we learned and saw in 90 minutes especially during peak tourist season. Well worth the cost and time to learn about where I live now!
The Ghost Tour on the Trolley was amazing! Great acting and story telling! I would recommend it to anyone! Do yourself a favor and go see this amazing tour!
Tour owner/ operator was awesome. When the trolley was not showing up she gave us options to get money back or to take the van so we would not have to wait for our trip. Her and the tour guide were a comical duo together, learned lots of things about Sarasota and its history. The storytelling by the tour guide was great, made the tour very enjoyable, before you knew it was time for the tour to be done. Thanks again guys from the Iowa tourist.
Excellent Information provided by our guide, Kathryn. It was a five-star experience.
Absolutely very interestingHad a nice tour seeing things you would normally miss out on with out the tour👍😀
I apologize for saying your business was Closed. I meant it was Closed to me on Thursday 2/25. I showed up because I saw it advertised in a brochure. The door sign said only open Friday Saturday and maybe Sunday. Go to website and make an appointment. That to me was very disappointing. I am leaving the Sarasota area tomorrow and wont get the chance to try again.
I thought I was going on a trolley turned out to be like a minivan to me the air wasnt cool enough the narrator was good but he did talk about himself a little more than I think should have I also took a seasick pill cuz I knew I wasnt driving and I was kind of falling asleep I like the ship and lighthouse I went back today to take pictures
Highly recommend this evening tour of Sarasota. Open bar before you leave the tour office helps loosen up the tour group. Be sure to use their restroom before climbing aboard for your 1.5 hour tour of historic downtown and waterfront. Tour guide Jon MacDonald shares his wealth of knowledge of Sarasota’s history having grown up here. As the trolley travels through historic neighborhoods and past famous theaters, art centers, historic mansions, and sculptures, Jon explains the historic significance of each. He takes you from the city’s founding, through its two hundred years of development, and explains who were the people who made the greatest beneficial impact to this waterfront paradise. As you drive through the revitalized downtown, Jon points out all the popular restaurants, bars, and shops. As our group did, take the tour then enjoy a great meal at “any” place Jon recommends! Jon is an exceptional speaker and so knowledgeable that he’ll keep you listening and laughing throughout this worthwhile joy ride of his beloved Sarasota. Many thanks!👍🏻👍🏻Laura & Mark (Drew Carey impersonator) VanValkenburg,Charlotte, North Carolina
Top notch. This was a great introduction to a very interesting area. Our guides Ziggy and Steve gave us a very interesting and informative tour of the city that they both are obviously proud of(for good reason). Every visit to this area should start with this air conditioned tour of this very diverse area.
Absolutely the best, great tour guide, Patrick
Wonderful,informative, and customersuper friendly. One of best city tours we have e ever had. Great for all ages.
The Happy Hour Tour on 5/17 was great. The guide was super knowledgeable, funny and approachable. It was so much fun, I plan to book other tours for myself and my mom. She is disabled so the trolley is a fabulous idea. It was also a good way to know the history of Sarasota. Yeah!!!!
Had a great adventure seeing some interesting historical sites and heard some scary scary stories of ghosts that still remain. Great ride and comfortable. Selva was amazing loved her. Cant wait to come back again❤🌴❤
Enjoyed the Amish tour today with delightful Kendra. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging. Time was over before I knew it - so much fun! Highly recommend.
GREAT 🇱🇷🇨🇺🗽🎯🙏💪🚁⏳🛫✈️🦅👀
This haunted tour was the possible way to spend an evening (actual torture aside). The only good thing was the single free drink with the overpriced sham.1. The night I attended, half of the “haunted” sites were inaccessible due to road closures. Now these weren’t surprise closures. They are posted wel in advance for a boat race that occurs every single year. The owners clearly knew, as the told us when we had all paid and were stuck on the trolley.2. Those we were able to drop by had poorly told anecdotes about “haunting” aka flickering lights, moving objects, and random noises. Every single spot had those 3 signs. No specifics outside of male/female or a random name. The host, dressed a cheesy all black costume, ruined all chances at creating a fitting atmosphere by poor attempts at a rough approximation of comedy. Example: a horrible sing along about a dude with no tongue?I could have given a better tour with 30 minutes to google beforehand.
We did this tour with a group, and it was a really fun way to learn some things about Sarasota that we did not know. Are planning to do another tour as well, so would recommend one of these to anyone.
Absolutely a wonderful experience! I have always been fascinated with the history of the circus in Sarasota! Our tour guide was amazing and the proprietor of the business was so cordial and accommodating! I purchased some unique gifts in the shop to bring back to my grandchildren in MN!I will try to fit in one more tour before heading back to MN!
Took the City Site Seeing Tour last Thursday. Great tour and great tour guide (Steve) and it didnt even matter that it was raining. Well take another one next time Im in town. Much success to your company!
This was a fun place for the kids as well as the adults! Very clean so safe and fun things to do.
Really enjoyed the Infamous Sarasota Happy Hour tour on Friday evening. Our guide, Jon, was full of fascinating stories about Sarasotas notorious high rollers and the citys shady past. Looking forward to another tour!
The Tour Guide was knowledgeable and made the experience fun! I felt like I got to know all about Sarasota thanks to him! Great service, cant wait to go on the psychic tour!
This tour was a great way to learn about the hidden gems of Sarasota. Full of history and fun! The tour guide was knowledgable and did not hesitate to include passengers for an exciting, interactive experience. Cant wait to return for the ghost tour!
This tour was fun, and informative. I never knew the history which makes Sarasota so unique. The Ringlings influence goes way beyond the circus, and the art museum.
Tammy does a great job opportunities tours. You will not be disappointed. You have an absolutely wonderful time
Had an absolutely wonderful time on the tour. Our guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I really learned a lot about the city and its history and saw many wierd and interesting sites. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sarasota or to anyone who just wants to learn more about the city.
I just took my second Trolley tour with Discover Sarasota Tours and we certainly discovered a part of town few people ever see on the fabulous Ghost Tour. Turned out to be fun and informative. Lots of historical details and chiiling tales that guide Sarafina told us with great delight. She was a charming host for the one -and-a-half-hour haunting experience. (Also, the trolley is very comfortable and the audio system is great.) Highly recommended for a fun evening! We definitely had one!
We had a great time with Steve as our tour guide!
Fabulous! We did the tour with year round Sarasota residents who also loved the tour.
Great time. Seva was so much fun!
So much fun and educational.
Cant decide which was more fun the Ghost tour or the Circus Tour!Both guides were delightful & extremely knowledgeable!
Such a fun experience! I never knew how rich Sarasotas history really was, and I was amazed how much information was packed into the tour.
We were sold a private charter only to find out that our private charter was filled with strangers. Not only did they put strangers on our private charter, they didnt even reserve a group of seats so that our group of 11 could sit together. Lastly, they charged us $10 more per ticket (which they refunded after we caught it). Due to the screwups everyone started the tour off in the wrong mood. Such a bummer.
