Sarasota is home to an amazing architectural legacy. On this 105-minute air-conditioned tour, guests will visit some outstanding examples of architecture and design, with tours featuring three of the city’s most distinctive styles: Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival, and Mid-Century Modern (featuring the "Sarasota School" of architecture, a regional adaptation of 20th-century International Style modernism that flourished in Florida from the 1940s to the 1960s.) These tours sell out weekly so book early!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participants on the Sarasota Architecture Tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Sarasota Architecture Tour! It's designed to be family-friendly, so kids can join in as long as they're supervised. Just make sure they're old enough to enjoy the content. I brought my 10-year-old and she loved spotting the different styles.

Q: What should we wear for the Sarasota Architecture Tour? Is it outside a lot?

A: Great question! The tour is mainly in an air-conditioned vehicle but there are stops where you’ll be outside for a bit. Definitely wear comfortable shoes, and I’d recommend lightweight clothing since it can get warm in Sarasota. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas too!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of our tour?

A: If rain is in the forecast, they often still run the tour because most of it is in the vehicle. They'll do their best to adjust stops if necessary, but you might want to call ahead if you're concerned. I went on a drizzly day and still had a great time!

Just booked the Sarasota Architecture Tour! Any tips?

Hey everyone! I just reserved spots for the Sarasota Architecture Tour next month for my family. Super excited because we love architecture! I heard they focus on Art Deco and Mid-Century styles, right? Any must-know tips before we go? Should we plan to grab lunch after or is there a stop during the tour?

Sarasota Architecture Tour Review - Worth it!

I went on the Sarasota Architecture Tour last week and it was awesome! The guide was super knowledgeable about the different styles and I loved seeing the Mediterranean Revival buildings. The air-conditioned vehicle was a lifesaver since it was hot out. Definitely book early though, they were talking about how quickly tours fill up!
