Wonderful way to spend the afternoon! - Highly recommend this tour if you want some history on Sarasota and to experience the local flavors! Tommy did a wonderful job of keeping our group of 8 engaged and entertained. We had 2 birthdays in the group and he arranged a special surprise at each restaurant. The food was delicious and if anyone had food allergies or didn’t like something he took care of it!

A great way to sample Sarasota cuisine and learn about the city - This was a fantastic tour. I highly recommend it. Christine was our guide and she did a wonderful job enlightening us about city history, the buildings, and the adorable Sarasota downtown. Wear your walking shoes, you will make a loop around downtown, but not too strenuous. It was a nice sampling from a variety of restaurants. I’m gluten free and they had no problem accommodating me and 3 others in our group. We even had desert! Even if you are a frequent visitor to Sarasota, you would enjoy this tour.

Super Great History & Food Tour - Kelley was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the food (which we did). Her knowledge of the history of Sarasota and the way she explained it was outstanding!

Great experience in Sarasota. - I’ve been on food tours all over the country and this one was one of the best. Julie our guide made it special with her knowledge of Sarasota. The mix of restaurants was great and we went back to one of them the following night for dinner with our friends.

Food was just okay - Our guide Kelley was the best thing about the trip The Italian restaurant was great. Next one had sushi with fish, which we don’t eat so we had nothing but adamane beans. Got nothing extra to make up the meal that we didn’t get ~ kind of thought it was a rip off. should’ve asked if people like seafood not everyone likes sushi Wouldn’t go again
