Sarasota arkitekturturné
Beskrivning
Sarasota är hem för ett fantastiskt arkitektoniskt arv. På denna 105-minuters luftkonditionerade rundtur kommer gästerna att besöka några enastående exempel på arkitektur och design, med rundturer med tre av stadens mest distinkta stilar: Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival och Mid-Century Modern (med "Sarasota School" of architecture, en regional anpassning av modernismen i internationell stil från 1900-talet som blomstrade i Florida från 1940-talet till 1960-talet.) Dessa turer säljs slut varje vecka så boka tidigt!

Resplan
Resenärer kommer att lära sig om art déco-stilen, som först dök upp i Frankrike under 1910-talet och blomstrade i arkitektur och mode under 1930-talet. Sarasota Municipal Auditorium är ett fint exempel på art déco-stil. Besökare kommer också att lära sig om historien om Auditorium, byggt 1938. Art Deco Chidsey Library är också på resplanen. Chidsey Library öppnade i maj 1941 som staden Sarasotas första offentliga biblioteksbyggnad.
Burns Court Historic District inkluderar hus (och vissa kommersiella byggnader) som är fina exempel på arkitektur från Medelhavet. Besökare kommer att lära sig om historien och designen av Burns Court-utvecklingen i mitten av 1920-talet.
Sarasota Art Center representerar Sarasota School of Architecture, en speciell rörelse inom modern arkitektur från mitten av århundradet. Blue Pagoda är en annan modern byggnad från mitten av århundradet på turnén. Designad av en av grundarna av Sarasota School of Architecture, Victor Lundy, är denna japanska trädgårdsinspirerade struktur från 1956 en syn att se nära bukten. Byggd för Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, strukturen har ett japanskt blåglasat tegeltak. Lundy ville att de blå brickorna skulle återspegla det närliggande blå vattnet i Sarasota Bay.
Center for Architecture i Sarasota togs i drift 1959 och är ett exempel på modern arkitektur från mitten av århundradet. Besökare kommer att lära sig om byggnadens konstruktion och design.

Jon the tour guide was excellent. His ability to relate Sarasota’s history into interesting stories is absolutely wonderful and so entertaining. He is such a delight to be around. He has an aura about him that draws you in and want to hear every word he utters.
The tour was most enjoyable! The owner/guide is very knowledgeable and gave us facts about the Sarasota architectures and fun stories of the buildings and houses we pass by but never saw, I highly recommend this tour to learn about our city.
Thank you so much!
The Discover Sarasota architectural tour was excellent. The tour guide was knowledgeable, easy to understand, and gladly answered questions. The trolley car ride was comfortable and clean. Don't miss a tour of Ca D'Zan (house of John Ringling) to supplement this over-all city tour. I would recommend this tour for anyone who would like to learn about Sarasota's architectural history.
Thank you for this review and for adding great advice!
It is soooo interesting. Sarasota has such a wonderful history. It great to go around the neighborhoods and understand the architecture vision and story. I highly recommend to take the tour to uncover Sarasota history.
Thank you very much!
Good general overview. Rather pricy for the offering. Some houses/structures couldn’t be seen because the trolley wouldn’t fit down the street. Using handouts to show things not visible from the bus such as interiors was useless. By the time the handout had made the rounds we were two stops further along.
If you booked on Trio Advisor rather than directly with us you are paying more. Our daytime tours are all the same $54.99 price for a 90-min narrated air-conditioned tour. The one street not accessible due to narrow width of street was only mentioned as a place to explore on your own. We saw similar homes on Burns Court on the tour so you missed nothing on the tour. The handouts were simply additional buildings by the architects that no longer exist. They were meant to help you see the past and were not specific to buildings still standing. Most guests like them and have requested these visual aids.
We are full time Sarasotans. Our neighbors recommended this Tour, and we are glad we did it. It mwas our 3rd Tour and we have enjoyedm them All.
Appreciate your wonderful review! Thanks for being SUPERFANS!
We enjoyed the architecture tour but it would have been nice to be able to get out of the trolley to take some pics. Also it would be nice to be able to go into the building on Orange Ave and check out their exhibits.
Thank you. We aren’t able to let people out on these 90 min tours because there just isn’t time. We encourage you to return to buildings to view them on your own at a later time. The African American Museum is open daily 10-5.
This was a last minute decision on our last day in Sarasota and I was not disappointed. The tour was so fun, entertaining and informative, John was interesting the entire time. The driver was great, I felt safe. It was worth the price. They are friendly and accommodating, the cute shop is an added bonus before and after the tour. They were so kind to sing happy birthday to me!
The tour was informative and fun! Our guide was the founder of DiscoverSarasota Tours so we had the best. We will definitely return for other tours.
Very kind of you and I’m glad you enjoyed the tour!
Tammy was a terrific guide and we covered so many buildings in an hour and a half! I would recommend it. The only complaint is about seeing buildings from a trolley: if you're on the wrong side, you don't see the building very well; the trolley sometimes goes by too quickly. it wasn't always clear which building Tammy was referring to.
Thank you for this helpful comment. I will be more clear in future tours.
