    Visitors consistently rave about the engaging guides and entertaining theatrical elements that make these tours memorable. Steve, Jon, and Deni get special shoutouts for their knowledge of Sarasota's history, architecture, and local culture, while the costumed actors who appear on themed tours like the Haunted Sarasota experience bring impressive talent and energy. The variety of offerings is notable—from singing trolley rides and psychic tours to circus routes and Amish experiences—giving people plenty of reasons to return for multiple adventures. The interactive nature really stands out. Guests sing along with provided songbooks, enjoy props, and often make stops at local spots like bars or boutiques. Owner Tammy is described as an entrepreneurial spirit focused on customer experience, and the gift shop full of local products adds a nice touch. One reviewer mentioned the owner's heavy involvement during a tour came across as micromanaging the staff, which distracted from the experience. Still, the overwhelming majority describe fun, informative outings perfect for newcomers wanting to learn about Sarasota or locals looking for a unique night out with friends.

    This tour company is 5 stars! Each employee was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the Sarasota area. Jane and Jon were so welcoming when we arrived for our tour. The tour lasted an hour and a half, and there was so much information and ground that was covered in that time . Our tour guide, Jon had so many interesting fun facts to share. He loves his job and it shows. Our driver maneuvered all around the busy streets always with a smile. Wonderful employees made the tour extra enjoyable.
