HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT BIG TOP TOURS:

"There’s something new in the circus world, the Big Top Tour... It turns out that the perfect way to have a historical tour of Sarasota is through the eyes of the circus. Practically every landmark in town has a circus connection..."
- Sarasota Magazine (February 2011)

"For two hours-plus, lifelong clown, juggler, magician and stilt-walker, Toby Ballantine...narrated a tour that traced Sarasota's world-famous circus history. The hidden gems {along the route} and a touching outpouring from the circus veteran made the tour special."
– Bradenton Herald (December 16, 2010)

"Thank you so very much for making our bus trip such a great and fun time for all of us! A highlight of our season!"
- From a "thank-you" note from the Sojourners, Christ United Methodist Church, Venice

"A new way to enjoy the circus side of Sarasota..."
– The White Tops: A publication of The Circus Fans Association of America (March/April 2011)

"Entertaining even for a Sarasota native."

"Wonderful, informative, spectacular. Can't say enough good things."
