Hidden Gems!
Colleen was fabulous and incredibly knowledgeable about the Sarasota area. Honestly, we were full after the first stop! She took us to places we likely would have walked right by on our own, but once we stepped inside, each one was such a pleasant surprise. The food, local insight, and overall experience made for a wonderful tour. Highly recommend!

Go Enjoy the Marine Life!
I never kayaked before - even with healthy challenges - it was a relaxing, fun and an informative adventure! I wasn’t really sore either the next day - my point is… go enjoy it! Our guide, Cody showed us a lot fascinating creatures and we even saw some dolphins! I highly recommend this trip!

Amazing!
The clear kayaking experience at night in the bay was absolutely unforgettable! Paddling across the water under the night sky was so peaceful, and the clear kayaks made the whole experience even more magical. Seeing the water light up beneath us and getting a view of the bay from a completely different perspective was incredible. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable the entire time. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and memorable! I’m pretty sure our tour guide was named Josh & he was great! Very nice kid!

This is a wonderful experience for all ages and I would recommend it anyone who enjoys being out in nature. The guides were very knowledgeable and shared lots of information on the wildlife and sea life all around us. They even stayed out extra time with us to find manatees, we ended up seeing 3 of them. We also spotted dolphins, many different birds and lots of different shells along with countless fish, it was fantastic and would go on another tour with this outfit, very professional.

Good guide, even better scenery
Our guide was very good, minded our safety and very informative. Jo-on ( not sure how to spell his name). We didn't see manatees or dolphins on that particular morning, but that is nature. The weather and scenery more than made up for it. Leisurely pace, good for generally decent fitness.

Highly Recommend! Book immediately!
I enjoyed this experience a lot! I made a lot of worthwhile memories, and this experience was the main thing we kept talking about after we left the trip. It was amazing being able to learn to kayak since we were absolute beginners, and we got to see one manatee and one dolphin! Our hopes weren't that high at first but we ended up learning about some of the history of florida, choose out some shells, kayak, take selfies with crabs, and overall just had an amazing time! We were laughing for the entire time, our tour guides, andrew and the other guy, were great. I can't believe they managed a group of about 9 people and we all had an equal amount of fun! I will definitely go again when we come back to FL. They even made accommodations based on the weather to have the best experience we could have! It was amazing and I recommend it the most out of any other tour you could choose.

My 3 friends and I had a great time seeing manatees, dolphins, finding sand dollars and crabs on the sandbar, and enjoying the views of the Bay. Tour guides were local and had great personalities. We kayaked 3 miles, so be prepared for a great arm workout! Made for a great memory on our Anna Maria girls’ trip!

Beautiful time!
Absolutely loved this experience! Matt was super knowledgeable and fun! The places we went were so beautiful with lots of shells and shark teeth to find! Also saw a super cool sooty sea slug I think it was called. Highly recommend this place and this tour!! Had an amazing time

Booking through third...
Booking through third parties can mess things up. 3rd parties don’t communicate well so make sure you call the company with any questions. Or just book directly through the kayaking company. We needed to reschedule our kayaking day and the kayaking company never got that information but they were willing to help us reschedule. Michael took us out and he made sure we saw all the good spots and helped us find shark teeth. It’s march so we did not see any manatee or dolphins or turtles

“Absolutely loved this sunset bike tour! The guides were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole ride fun. The views were stunning the entire way, especially as the sun went down. A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend!”

Best Bang for your Buck in Sarasota Tours.
You finished the Trolley tour feeling like you knew all the important historical and current points of interest. The narrator, John was having fun telling you about the key people who made Sarasota happen. You can not fake the enthusiasm shown in his voice, nor in the sparkle in his eyes as he informed you about all things Sarasota, and doing it in a very entertaining way.
We now know the where, when, and why of what made Sarasota one of the fastest rowing communities in the country. John pointed out the Best restaurants, Beaches, museums, theaters, and attractions, along with his tips on getting the best out of a Sarasota stay.
How good is the Trolley Tour? One of our passengers was making a repeat tour, and a Alabama lady was taking her third tour in 7 years, and we all know customers do NOT return if they had a bad experience in the past. Simply the BEST!!!!

Adventure Seekers
I love that you get reminders about your excursions. Tommy called about a glitch with a sick employee before we left to start and explained we’d begin a half hr later but that was fine with us- 9:30 start. Ben stepped up and was our guide. Super Nice, Very Knowledgeable, and there to meet your interests! We wanted to find sand dollars. We enjoyed seeing manatees and going to an island to shell hunt. No dolphins this trip, but normally they are in the areas we ventured. We enjoyed snorkeling to see the huge snails and even found a big crab friend! The last thing we did was go to an area where we found tons of live sand dollars! It was a good workout to paddle to all these areas so be prepared for that. I’m 61 and took pain reliever before bed and feel fine this morning. Suggesting thick sun screen to soak in before you leave your place and wash your hands so you have grip for your paddle. We had 6 going to include my daughter and her 4 kids ages 6-12. The two older boys did fine together and then we helped the two littles. Hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we did!! Thanks Again Tommy and Ben!! 🫶
