Susan Robinson - Owner

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!

Maggie - Tour Guide/Tour Director

Maggie joined our culinary family with a love of history and extensive tour guide experience having been a tour guide in St. Augustine, FL for five years before moving to Sarasota via Mexico. Maggie’s previous experience also included managing two community theaters, so performance is in her blood. She is not only one of our guides, she is also our Tour Director. In her spare time, Maggie is a mixed media mosaic artist. Born in Florida, she is one of those rare true Floridians and she makes history come alive on her tours! Ready to have some fun?

Troy - Tour Guide

Troy has resided in the Sarasota area for over 12 years and loves to share his knowledge of all of his favorite beaches and restaurants.
Born and raised in Missoula, Montana his family decided that it was not cold enough and moved to Anchorage Alaska where he finished High School and College. Summer acting classes in London at RADA studying Shakespeare and stand-up gave Troy a real passion for the theater.
Troy headed south as soon as he could, living in Seattle, L.A. and eventually landing in Sarasota as a Chanel Make-up Artist working at Saks. “Living on Lido Beach for the last 4 years is such a historical treat as we are surrounded everyday by the art and vision that was John’s Circus Town”
