With an impressive track record, this tour company delivers memorable culinary and historical experiences across Sarasota, Venice, and nearby areas. The guides consistently shine in reviews, with Susan, Michelle, Rocky, Troy, Taven, and Sheila earning praise for their local knowledge, engaging personalities, and ability to read the room. Guests love how the guides blend history with food, capturing photos so everyone can focus on enjoying the moment. The food stops hit the mark across their various tours, from upscale dining experiences in downtown Sarasota to diverse offerings on specialty tours like Taco Tuesday. Reviewers appreciate discovering restaurants they wouldn't have found on their own, and the variety keeps things interesting. The company offers creative options beyond just food tours, including a shark tooth hunting adventure and a "Wild Women of Venice" historical walk that guests found both fun and educational. A couple of guests felt portions didn't justify the cost on specific tours, particularly the international wine tour, and one reviewer was disappointed by their small group experience and lack of follow-up from management. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than patterns, with the overwhelming majority of recent visitors enthusiastically recommending their experiences and planning return visits.
We did the Anna Maria Island tour with Susan and had a wonderful time. Susan was a great host, sharing so much interesting information about the island’s history, architecture, nature, and more. The food choices were delicious and perfect for the vibe of the island. I highly recommend for anyone’s visit to AMI.
