Leslie, the tour guide, was enthusiastic and informative. I appreciated her involvement and interest in each member of the group. I liked seeing smaller dining establishments participating in the tour. I felt one stop could have been eliminated as the offering wasn't very palatable. I also would have liked to see some food and drink served to the guide. I felt it almost rude to be eating and drinking with her simply sitting in on the group.
Entertaining and delicious!

Ryan was a great tour guide. There were 5 of us total. We hit 5 different restaurants in downtown Sarasota. Each one was completely different. So much fun! Sarasota is such a wonderful town full of art, shopping and energy. Ryan shared lots of interesting history along the way. Great time!

Levi was an outstanding tour guide. The choice of restaurants were all interesting in their own way. The food selection was great. The best part was learning the history of Sarasota!
Yummy tour

Levi was the tour guide. He easily brought the group together and encouraged communications. Initially though that we should have visited more places but NO the 4 places we taste tested was perfect, the choices varied and all selections were very good
A culinary tour that’s so much more.

Thanks to our personable and knowledgeable guide Levi, this tour far exceeded our expectations. The foods samples were varied and delicious, the restaurant owners were gracious, and we learned so much about Sarasota! We definitely recommend this to anyone who likes unique experiences, and can’t wait to take the Twilight tour!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
