LOVED IT! – Mar 2022
What an extraordinarily entertaining way to learn about the history of the city of Sarasota! Kathryn was so knowledgeable and witty. The 90 minutes absolutely flew by and the information was remarkable. Personifying Mabel Ringling and speaking in the first person made this tour and all of the info come alive for us. I would do this again in a minute. — Kendra
