Tour Like A Local

Who knew behind those sneakers and handmade sweaters was a man who skinny-dipped, hated going to the doctor and proposed to his wife in a letter? Mister Rogers was a legend, but he was also human, and this tour captured it perfectly. The stories about his not always happy childhood to his knack for knowing how to relate to the little ones makes this tour a must when visiting Winter Park.

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!

Our tour had to be rescheduled and they did their best and worked with our other activities so we could still attend the tour! We did the Mister Roger’s Tour. It was really fun and interesting. It was a nice walk in the area and we learned a lot of interesting facts. Our guide was friendly.

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!

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!

Winter Park Walking Food Tour: well organized and an enjoyable few hours. Learned a little about Winter Garden even though I've been there many times. We went to a few restaurants I hadn't been to before, the food was pretty good. The guides were knowledgeable and the party we were with were all friendly. Would recommend it.

Rich and Sarah were awesome we enjoyed the tour very much, I never realized how involved Fred Roger's was in winter park

We had such a fun tour of restaurants at icon park tonight. Jordan was a friendly and informative tour guide. We overstuffed ourselves on delicious food and drink. The portions were large, My favorite part was that all of these restaurants have scratch kitchens, they make their own sauces, etc. I’m excited to go back now that I’ve had a taste. I also surprised myself and really enjoyed the icon wheel. I don’t usually like heights, but this was not at all scary and I loved seeing the lights of Orlando at night. Thank you Jordan for making it a fun evening.

Amazing tour. Informative, humorous, loving and nostalgic. Everything Mr. Rogers would approve of.

What an informative and fun tour!

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!

Did the Flavors of Icon Park Foodie Walking Tour and cannot say enough good things! The tour is such an amazing way to experience Icon Park - while eating all the yummy food ever. The ticket price is such a great value with the amount of food and the Wheel ride. Tour guides were knowledgeable! 10/10 would recommend for locals and visitors alike!

Staff is very courteous, professional and knowledgeable about the city and its history. Very interesting to hear stories and actual incidents about a city you live in but had no idea existed. I definitely would recommend them and would go again.

Went on the ghost tour with a group of friends - it was fun, entertaining and I learned so much about the history of winter park that I never knew! Highly recommend! I will probably sign up for the food tour soon :)

Great experience, sampled several restaurants, food was good and customer service was excellent. Very professional!

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)

I did the Flavors of Winter Park Foodie Tour this past weekend and it was really wonderful! We made about 6 stops and learned about the history of the area. The tour was well organized, and the guides were fantastic. The food itself was amazing - enjoyed getting to know some local businesses in the area!This activity is perfect for all ages! Highly recommend and looking forward to my next tour with them!
