Murder Mystery Trolley: Who Killed The Circus Queen?

Great Experience

So much fun! My favorite part was the downtown parade. I never thought I’d have that much fun.

Response from the operator: How wonderful to hear!

Engaging Tour

Overall, my best friend and I enjoyed the murder mystery trolley tour and thought it was a fun, unique concept. The interactive storyline, talented actors, and live singing made for an entertaining experience, and it was clear that the cast put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into their performances. That said, there were a few moments that made us uncomfortable. My best friend and I were the only African Americans on the tour, and some of the character portrayals and music choices felt tone-deaf. For example, hearing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" performed in this context and the portrayal of a voodoo priestess by white performers felt insensitive rather than entertaining. While I'm sure there was no ill intent, these choices carried racial and cultural undertones that distracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience. I share this feedback in the hope that the production team will consider how certain themes and cultural references may be perceived by a diverse audience. The mystery itself was clever, the cast was engaging, and the overall concept has a lot of potential. With a little more cultural awareness, I believe this tour could be even more enjoyable and welcoming for everyone.

Response from the operator: Thank you for coming. I’m sorry you found anything in our farcical show offensive. That is not our intent because we do think about these things very much.

What a fantastic evening!...

What a fantastic evening! My mom and I recently hopped aboard the Discover Sarasota Tours Murder Mystery Trolley, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped on the trolley, the energy was contagious, the actors stayed completely in character, and the audience was encouraged to become part of the story. A special shout out to Tammy and her team for creating such a fun, interactive, and incredibly well-organized experience. You can tell a lot of thought and passion goes into every detail, from the storyline to the costumes and the way they keep everyone engaged and laughing throughout the tour. Whether you're a local looking for something different or visiting Sarasota for the first time, this is one of those experiences you'll be talking about long after it's over. It's the perfect mix of comedy, mystery, sightseeing, and audience participation. Spending the evening solving a murder with my mom made it even more memorable, and we're already looking at which tour we want to try next. Highly recommend Discover Sarasota Tours, especially the Murder Mystery Trolley. Five stars all the way! 🚋🔎🎭

Response from the operator: We are delighted you were delighted!!!!

Very entertaining and a gem for our community to have.

Oh and the tiki hut is a can't miss also before the show starts! Thank you - we look forward to the Haunted Tour in October. :-)

Outstanding Murder Mystery!

I was not sure how a trolley would work for a murder mystery. I was very pleasantly surprised with the performance and trolley atmosphere. A mix of professional actors and volunteers working their way through the script in a hilarious way. Highlight of the trip was driving through downtown Sarasota belting out the song Downtown with the windows open shocking all the people passing on the street. So much fun and so entertaining. A great way to spend an evening in the Circus City!

Response from the operator: Thank you for capturing the magic of this fun tour! Please come back for our Sing Along Trolley which is a totally different concept but equally a blast!
