Tour Like A Local

We began our tour at the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce. Our tour guide gave us great insight into the history of the town from how the peacock became the honorary symbol of the city to how the area became the playground to the affluent snow birds. The restaurants we sampled were very welcoming and the portions were decent size to get you excited to return!

The Old fashioned Christmas boat tour was very fun. The trivia, music, and lights made it a very memorable experience!!

We had such a great time on the Flavors of Winter Park tour! We have both lived in the Orlando area for quite some time and are familiar with Winter Park but we learned so much! The tour wasn't just food, it was also about the history of the area and some fun facts sprinkled in here and there. We stopped at 8 Park Ave spots and got varying sizes of samples. Some spots included Choulala and Blu on the Avenue. It's definitely an activity i'll recommend to friends, locals and out of towners, and something i'd do again. Thank you Original Orlando Tours!

We did the Winter Park Foodie Tour, and wow what a great experience! Michael and Rich led the tour around Park Ave where we had several stops that included history, amazing food, drinks, and wine. Even though we live here we discovered some new favorites and got to meet the general manager of a restaurant group who hosted us with incredible samples. This is a great way for locals and tourists to discover the hidden gems of Winter Park.

Not having been a huge fan of Mr. Rogers, I was very pleasantly surprised by this tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and brought a new understanding of the life of a man who was genius of his time! I would highly recommend taking this tour as it was very informative and gave me a new perspective on the life that Mr. Rogers led as well as the history of Winter Park.

Rich was a fantastic guide, with great stories about Mr. Rogers, the history of Winter Park, and Rollins College.

Great food, of course, but Rich threw in tidbits of history and celebrity sightings to make this 2.5-hour tour fly by. Do it!!!

This tour was great! Found out so many interesting things out about the family who was very wealthy! The boat ride was great too!

From being greeted with homemade hot chocolate to the camaraderie and trivia on the boat, this family owned business knows what customer service means! The tour was so interesting as I had no idea that there were canals and those homes....beautiful!! I highly recommend Original Orlando Tours!

What a great night I had with my partner in crime and the crew of at the Foodie Walking Tour at Icon Park! Great local facts and stories, knowledgeable and caring professionals , and… the FOOD!!! From local companies like Tin Cup Taco, Brick & Fire, Chicken on Fire, and Let’s Jess Bake came amazing and huge samplings of their yummy selections. Pizza, chicken tender and fries, taco salad, and a mini cupcake were just the beginning. Just when you are sure you can’t eat another bite, a short walk to Gordon Ramsey Fish & Chops (omg! The Biscoff milkshake), followed by a sloppy slider and fries at Sloppy Joe’s, topped off with a strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe. Just when you are sure they are going to have to roll you out, the WHEEL awaits! Great views, great photo oops, and the lights!!! Highly recommend this tour! I haven’t made my way to the other CX Orlando tours yet, but you better believe I will soon!!

The tour guides were knowledgeable. The walk was interesting and very doable. They were very organized and the next place was always ready for us. You did not get alot of food. We were still hungry at the end. ( We came hungry)

The Flavors of the Winter Park Foodie Tour was a good time. The starting location was easy to find and even had complimentary electric vehicle parking. We were originally skeptical about a food walk in the July Central Florida heat, but the guides were fantastic about finding shade when they stopped to give us some local history. We really enjoyed the history of the Winter Park peacocks and why the town is called “Winter Park”. We wanted more of this. We visited seven different locations and all the sweets, beverages, and samples were tasty and of high quality. The tasting room was the highlight of the tour because the staff member not only provided a history of his products, but he provided versatile ways of using them. We tasted a salad, chips and dip, and ice cream there. The other highlight was a restaurant that provided a special mimosa and salmon chip. We also visited the Winter Park food market and sampled a Jamaican chicken patty. Four of the visits offered sweets. While this was a great tour for adults, families, and kids, I wish there were more filling, food items and less sweets. Would I go back for one of their other tours like the Mister Rogers tour, absolutely!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas boat tour. A special thanks to Sarah Bradley who when above and beyond for our group! Happy New Year!

This tour is great for someone who loves to experience new places and try new things. As an Orlando area native who frequents Winter Park for the cuisine, I'd only been to one of the stops on the tour prior. Each place provided something unique. The historical information was just an added bonus that brought additional value to the tour. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique way to spend a day in Winter Park.

We found this tour to be exceptional! It was a pleasant walk and the information that our guide had was incredible! The time went quickly because we were fascinated. We love Mr. Rogers and to see Winter Park in his context was great. The boat tour at the end through the canals was wonderful. I would recommend this to everybody visiting in the area.

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

Such a great tour! We did the Mr. Rogers neighborhood walking tour and it was amazing. The tour guide (Rich) was very friendly, knowledgeable, and open to questions. We would definitely use this tour service again!

Loved our tour with your company. Your family is committed to making our experience wonderful and memorable. We shall always treasure your kindness. Thank you.
