What's a tour like?
Quirky and informative, our tours highlight St Petersburg in an "only-in-Florida" kind of way. It's part history, art and Florida-wackiness. Whether visiting St Pete or a seasoned local I'm confident you'll hear something new. We offer Group and Private Tours of St Petersburg depending on just what and when you're looking to see a bit of what the Sunshine City has to offer. Check out the BOOK IT calendar to see what's available.

What can I expect from this tour?
On the Sunshine City Tour we'll explore different parts of downtown and discover how the city of St Petersburg was born. Along the way we'll introduce you to some of the unusual characters who influenced The Sunshine City's development. By linking people and places to the past we hope to connect you with present day St Pete. This is not a scripted tour... Rev B deplores bland and boring tours so stories and sites can and will change depending on audience and weather. Mural tours focus primarily on the incredible art scene of St Petersburg. All public tours are small in size and limited to 12 people or less.

Is there anything I should bring?
Dress comfortably. We recommend you wear walking shoes (no stilettos) and depending on the time of day appropriate clothes for being out in the sun. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses are a great idea for our daytime tours especially during summer months which I consider to be somewhere from April through September for our out of town visitors. Feel free to bring along water.

What happens if it rains?
Well, it is Florida after all and sometimes rain may cause us to alter our course. Generally speaking, during a tour we often can find an establishment to allow us to continue while we wait out the typical short rain storms. We do not conduct tours during extended or heavy rain and tours will be rescheduled. If the weather is in question we will give you a heads up via text, e-mail or call.

Are dogs/young children/teenagers welcome?
We may sometimes visit a local pub, hotel or restaurant during our tour, for this reason we advise against bringing your pets.
Young children may learn a new word or two on tours. If this is ok with you, it's ok with me.
Teenagers are certainly welcome but be forewarned: some already know more than all of us combined, the tour may bore them.

I see mention of Rev B ...is this some kind of religious tour? Is someone going to try to convert me?
LOL! Religious? Nope. Not at all. Convert you? Into what? Have you met me? My hair is barely under control. Nah, this tour is simply an entertaining walk around the amazing city of St Pete with the good Rev B (origin of the nickname). If you don't set the bar too high, I'm confident you'll enjoy yourself.
C'mon...try something a little different and experience "St Pete's Most Unusual Tour"
