4.00Everyone was very pleasant. The singers did an awesome job, they kept us entertained. Singing Christmas carols, jiggling bells to the songs on the trolley was a festive experience.

5.00Twenty of us went on this tour on December 4,and found it quite enjoyable, Our costumed hostess on the trolley shared several interesting and little known facts about Christmas and explained the origins of St. Nick and Santa and other little known Christmas and the two costumed singers who joined us at several stops along the way were very good, singing some well-known Christmas melodies. We also joined in singing several Christmas carols during our 90-minuite ride. We took the 5:30 p.m. tour, which was fine, but if I were to suggest this to others, I'd suggest the 7:30 p.m. trolley tour to best appreciate Sarasota's Christmas lights.

5.00David ( the Grinch) did an amazing job portraying his assigned characters aboard the trolley. The rest of the crew did an amazing job as well! Talk about a well informed and fun trolley ride through downtown Sarasota during the holiday season! Highly recommended 🎄🎁🎉😊

4.00I took my family on the same tour last year. We still had fun, but the quality of the performance had declined significantly, and the A/V equipment wasn't working properly.
Wonderful Experience

5.00My Dad passed away a few months ago. My Mom and Dad were very happily married for 63 years. This is our first Christmas without him. It’s been hard to feel the Christmas spirit this year. I wanted to find something to lift up my Mom and this experience was the perfect thing to do. She smiled, laughed, and sang along. It was so good to see Mom happy. We came to Florida from Virginia because I wanted to get Mom out and do something special for her. She said this experience was her favorite thing that we did on our trip. We both regained the Christmas spirit and left feeling love and happiness. I’m so grateful to the staff who were kind, talented and so much fun.
Highly recommend!
