Tour Like A Local

This tour was more than a walk through Mister Rogers’ history…it felt like a visit with an old friend. Rich guided us with such care and heart, and it reminded me how much kindness still lives in the world. Whether you grew up with Mister Rogers, are just discovering or want to introduce his legacy to a new generation, this experience is a gentle, meaningful reminder of what it means to be a good neighbor.We booked both the walking tour and the boat trip package, though the weather didn’t cooperate for the boat ride. Still, the walking tour alone was so meaningful, and we’re already looking forward to returning to complete the full experience.It’s a mostly outdoor tour, great for families with children or more experienced guests, but we recommend bringing sunblock, water, and a hat for warmer days. Thoughtful, inspiring, and so worth it.As Mister Rogers once said, “There are many ways to say ‘I love you.’” For me, this tour is one of them.

All great, nice place and expert tour people to show us around the city in the NorthCovid restrictions didn't help but it was as good as it could be

Wonderful Christmas Boat Tour. Highly recommended! Enjoyed seeing the beautiful Christmas lights on the lakes while listening to Christmas carols and drinking delicious hot cocoa. Amazing evening.

We went on the Ghosts of Winter Park tour hosted by Sarah and Rich. It was so much fun! The guides were great and kept the group engaged and were always easy to hear and follow. Stories were all interesting and surprisingly ones we’d never heard, even as locals. We can’t believe we’ve never done this fun night out before, and are excited to try the WP foodie tour next!

I had a fantastic time, firt tour where I don't get sleepy lol, Michael and Richard did a great jod, definitely coming back to icon park, now I'm interested in getting the rest of the tours they offer.

What fun! We are locals who just wanted to learn more about our community and needed a diversion from " life". Rich did not disappoint. The boat ride gave wind to our souls!

Rich took us on the most amazing tour! He is a wealth of knowledge and provided personal anecdotes about Mr. Rogers and his family. We enjoyed every minute of this wonderful tour!

My husband and I went on the food tour with Sarah as our guide, she was super friendly and knowledgeable about not only the food but the history of restaurants and Florida itself! We had a tasty fun time and will definitely try another tour next time we are in town. Thank you Sarah:)

Beautiful tour! My family and I had an amazing time. Such a nice, peaceful, family activity to do this time of the year.

My friends and I were looking for something unique to do in Winter Park. The foodie tour was super fun and we actually learned a lot. The tour guide was knowledgeable and I got to visit spots in Winter Park that I’ve been missing out on for all these years. Getting 10% off at each shop was great!! I’m bringing my family next month.

Sarah was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her subject, and had a great sense of humor, too. Very entertaining!

Fabulous! Highly recommended. We will definitely be back to take advantage of another tour offering! Great value. Superlative hospitality. Fun & Entertaining.

We had a wonderful time - Jordan took great care of us. Great food and great company - we loved learning about the restaurants and the area. Would do this again to learn other parts of other cities.

We have had the great opportunity to enjoy 2 of the food walking tours that Original Orlando Tours offers. We highly recommend the food tours! Great time both times and great food! We will be taking the ghost tour next.

I can't say enough about how cool this tour was for me and my friends. I wanted to book in advance but my plans weren't finalized. I was worried the tour would sell out but luckily we secured our spots. Booking was easy and fast. The tour guide is a local and they were so knowledgeable about the area. We learned a lot of interesting facts and stories about Winter Park, but the real highlight was trying all the delicious food!! OMG. Seriously great food. Like mouth watering food. And a great variety. My friend is gluten-free and the other has a nut allergy and both were accommodated by the venues, just tell the tour guide in advance. After the tour we decided to revisit one of the restaurants because our wristbands gave us a discount. This tour was a real gem and 10/10 would recommend.

Went on Christmas cruise last night. So so good.we felt it was great value for money. It was very festive and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour

We had another absolutely wonderful time on the Christmas Boat Tour. Great, well-run tour with friendly people. This has become a yearly tradition.

It was a delight to take this tour and to walk in the footsteps of Fred Rogers. It was interesting to learn why he chose Rollins College. And to learn that it was here where this quiet man was initially encouraged to perform on stage. If you are in Winter Park, take this tour, and imagine Fred strolling in front of the shops while courting a young pianist name JoAnn, talking of their future together. How simple, and yet how important, to be someone’s neighbor.
