Our History

Founded in 2010, Saint Petersburg City Tours started with a simple vision: to share the beauty and hidden treasures of St. Petersburg, Florida with visitors from all over the world. What began as a small, family-owned business offering walking tours through the historic streets of Downtown St. Pete has now grown into one of the city’s leading tour operators.

Our founder, John Harrison, fell in love with St. Pete’s perfect mix of cultural charm and natural beauty after relocating here in 2008. With a background in travel and hospitality, John wanted to create personalized, immersive experiences that showcase the city’s vibrant arts scene, historic landmarks, and coastal views.

Today, we offer a wide range of tour packages, from guided museum tours to boat excursions, giving travelers the opportunity to explore St. Petersburg in new and exciting ways. Despite our growth, we’ve stayed true to our roots—providing intimate, well-crafted tours with a personal touch.

We’re proud to have welcomed thousands of travelers from across the U.S. and beyond, and we look forward to sharing St. Pete’s magic with you!
