Private historic sightseeing and mural tours through the heart of downtown St. Petersburg.
At Pierside Tours, we take you beyond the surface.
Cruise through downtown in a private golf cart as we bring St. Pete’s past and present together—from the Million Dollar Pier to the pink elegance of the The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, and the hidden corners most visitors miss.
Not all tours are created equal. Here’s what makes us different:
Private, Comfortable Experience
No crowded buses or long walks—just you, your group, and a smooth ride through the city.
Local, Curated Storytelling
Every stop is intentional. Every story is real. We connect the dots in a way you won’t get anywhere else.
See More in Less Time
Cover more ground than a walking tour while still getting an up-close experience.
Designed for Visitors & Locals
From waterfront views to historic streets, your ride brings the city to life:
This isn’t a checklist—it’s a story unfolding as you ride.
A Guided Golf Cart Tour of St. Petersburg
Step aboard your private golf cart and take a ride through time.
This guided experience brings St. Petersburg’s history to life as you explore the landmarks, streets, and stories that shaped the city—from its earliest days to the vibrant downtown you see today.
Why This Tour Stands Out
Private experience (no strangers, no crowds)
Comfortable golf cart ride—no long walking distances
Unique storytelling you won’t find online
Perfect introduction to St. Pete
What You’ll See
The St. Pete Pier - The birthplace of the city and a symbol of its growth—from a railroad town to a world-class destination.
The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club - Built during the Florida land boom, this iconic pink hotel has hosted celebrities, presidents, and decades of history.
Snell Arcade- Once the center of downtown commerce, this historic arcade tells the story of St. Pete’s early ambition and growth.
Downtown Waterfront & Historic Districts - Cruise through scenic streets, hidden corners, and areas that most visitors never get to experience.
Your private journey through the heart of the city is designed for total relaxation and immersion. Every booking includes a street-legal, electric golf cart reserved exclusively for your group, ensuring a breezy and comfortable ride through the historic districts. To enhance your experience, your local expert tour guide provides professional narration at every landmark, and chilled bottled water is provided to keep everyone refreshed while exploring the waterfront views.
To make the most of your time on the streets of St. Pete, we recommend coming prepared for the beautiful Florida weather. Please bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect against the afternoon sun. While our carts provide shade, a camera or smartphone is a must-have for capturing the vibrant murals and architectural gems we discover along the way.
Experience the architectural beauty and vibrant local culture of the Sunshine City as we stop at iconic sites like the historic Vinoy Resort, the modern St. Pete Pier, and the hidden mural-lined streets of downtown.
Choose from our curated selection of 90 to 120-minute private journeys, offering transparent group pricing for up to five guests to explore the historic districts and waterfront landmarks of downtown St. Pete.
