Our Amazing Tour Team

Hi my name is Susan. I founded Key Culinary Tours and Sarasota Suncoast Tours because I thought our area really needed some cool tours of the local food scene, as well as historical and fun tours of this amazing place we call paradise. Each of our tour guides bring a unique perspective to the tours and no two tours are alike.
Our portfolio has expanded to include something for everyone — culinary tours, historical walking tours, family centric tours and tours that are just plain crazy fun. We love meeting people and welcoming them to our area and are proud to be ambassadors of Sarasota. We also offer international tours to various locations because I personally love to travel! So, check out our websites for descriptions of all our offerings and thank you for choosing our company for your tour!

Troy has resided in the Sarasota area for over 15 years and loves to share his knowledge of all of his favorite beaches and restaurants. His engaging personality will charm you from the start!

Susan knows Anna Maria Island like the back of her hand (of course being a resident there sure helps). She also knows ALL the secrets of AMI and she’s waiting to share them with you!

Originally from Maryland, Michelle and her husband decided to trade in chilly winters for the sunshine and beauty of Southwest Florida. Back in Maryland, Michelle led distillery tours in a resort town, but when she moved to Florida, she knew she couldn’t stay away from the world of guiding. She walked into our office one day, inquired about a tour guide opportunity, and the rest is history! Now, she’s an essential part of our Sarasota Suncoast Tours family. Michelle is passionate about people of all ages and loves sharing local history, ghostly legends, fun culinary facts, leading scavenger hunts, and—of course— heading up our Shark’s Teeth Hunting Tour! With a deep love for the outdoors, she makes every tour feel like an adventure with friends. Join Michelle on one of her tours, and you’ll feel like
family from the moment you arrive!

Our Tour Guides love food & people and are extensively trained to provide you the best experience possible. We generally add a few awesome people each year to our family.
