Meet Your Guides
Claudia
Tour Director
I have travelled and explored many countries and know how valuable those memories are in making
your trip truly memorable.
My background is in Travel and Hospitality industry, with more than 30 years of experience. I have lead
various types of tours across Europe and the Caribbean. I moved to Tampa 20 years ago and I
discovered how much diversity, culture and history runs through this amazing city.
I would love to meet and share my passion with fellow foodie travelers, while walking through these
beautiful streets. I strongly believes that the experience of dining is more than just the cuisine. It
is bringing strangers together who may never meet again, but share a common bond with love of food,
history and culture.
I am grateful for the opportunity to help others fall in love with this city, just as I did so many years ago.
Darin
Tour Director
I was born & raised in Sarasota, and I have spent most of my time here. My education and career have been focused on all aspects of hospitality. In the course of my career in hospitality, I have had the opportunity to experience just about every position you could. More recently, managing high-end restaurants, opening new restaurants and consulting.
I love talking to and meeting new people. Learning about their culture, as well as sharing ours. I can't wait to share with you our beautiful town of Sarasota, and its amazing art, history and cullinary culture!
Levi
Founder
I am a food enthusiast who loves to meet people from all different cultures around the world. Experiencing food tours was one of the highlights in my European travels so I thought, let's bring this idea home, and no better place to start than my home town of Sarasota Florida. I have been in fine dining management for 20 years, working alongside Sommeliers, culinary prodigies, and business leaders in the community. My passion is to learn new ways to further my culinary knowledge and promote a seasoned understanding through our local restaurants.
I'm so excited to take you on my food tour to share my passion for food, history, and culture!
Jules
Tour Director
I have been involved in the promotions and events industry my entire career. For twenty years I've been working in Las Vegas as an event hostess, giving people the ultimate Las Vegas experience through my involvement with culinary and liquor events, as well as trade shows, corporate, and entertainment events.
I moved to St. Petersburg in 2021 and continues to work with the wine and food events industry. I instantly fell in love with St. Pete. It is a perfect combination of historic Florida and current Urban experiences."
I'm excited to share experiences and knowledge of St. Petersburg with the Sunset Food Tour participants.
