Our Story
Sunset Food Tours was founded in Sarasota, Florida, with a simple idea: bring people together through food, art, and the stories that make our Gulf Coast communities so special. What started as a local food tour has grown into an award-winning operation spanning Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Tampa.
Our owner is often personally in the field guiding tours, and that hands-on spirit runs through everything we do. Every guide on our team is chosen for their genuine passion, local knowledge, and ability to make guests feel right at home — whether they're visiting from across the country or live just down the street.
We're proud to showcase cities that have earned recognition for their warmth and neighborliness. Sarasota was named the 4th Most Neighborly City in the country by Neighbor.com in 2023, and that welcoming spirit is something you'll feel on every tour.
While food is always a highlight, our tours go beyond the plate. You'll discover carefully curated public art, learn local history, and find hidden gems tucked into the neighborhoods you walk through. We can't promise you a sunset — but we can promise you'll leave with a full stomach and a full heart.
