Explore Sarasota’s Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival, and Mid-Century Modern landmarks on a guided 90-minute architecture tour.

About this tour

Explore the architectural character that makes Sarasota stand out, from elegant Mediterranean Revival details to the clean lines of Mid-Century Modern design. This 90-minute Sarasota Architecture Tour travels by air-conditioned vehicle to examples of three distinctive styles: Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival, and Mid-Century Modern.

Along the way, discover the Sarasota School, a regional adaptation of 20th-century International Style modernism that flourished in Florida from the 1940s to the 1960s. An English-speaking live guide brings context to the buildings and design traditions you see, while bottled water is provided for the ride. The tour meets off Fruitville, behind the Breakfast House, and is suitable for all fitness levels. Guests must be at least 10 years old; service animals are allowed, and public transportation options are available nearby.

See Sarasota through its architecture and spot the styles that shaped the city. Book your Sarasota Architecture Tour in advance, as tours reportedly sell out weekly.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 43 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Sarasota
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 26% in Sarasota means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in Sarasota by this score.
