Tour Like A Local

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.

Fantastic holiday lights tour!

I went on the ICON Foodie Tour a couple of weeks ago. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality, quantity and variety of the restaurants and their samples. I highly recommend this tour along with the ride on the Wheel. Great staff and not too much walking if that is an issue for you, all flat and no stairs! Be sure to check out their other tours, including their Mr. Rogers Tour in Winter Park FL!

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!

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!

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 :)

We absolutely loved this tour. The food and drink stops were varied and all delicious. Each place did a quick talk about something about the food while we ate that was very interesting. Also the guide gave us brief overviews on Winter Park in between stops that was also interesting. Right amount of food, time and information. We’ll be back!!!

Rich and Sarah gave a phenomenal tour of Winter Park! We had never been to the area and went in with no expectations, but fell in love with the town and want to return. Our tour provided a number of delicious bites, fun stories, and a comfortable sense of belonging. We were graciously welcomed by all of the shops we visited, and the staff went above and beyond to share their knowledge and flavorful foods with us. I purchased something to take home at almost every store they took us into. My favorite stop was the olive oil shop where we witnessed and participated in an oil tasting paired with numerous other selections. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Christmas boat ride. It was fun seeing the lights on the lake houses, listening to Christmas music, and other Christmas stories. We did the boat ride during the 2023 Christmas season and this has now become an annual tradition. We make a day of it and walk around Downtown Winter Park beforehand and eat dinner before heading to the boat dock. Highly recommended!

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.

Educational and amazing. My family loved the tour. Can’t wait for the next one!

I’m a local and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour—got to try lots of things I didn’t know about. Have been living in the area 19 years

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

I rate this experience a 5. It was well worth it! Our tour guide (Logan). Was fun, attentive and made sure we could meet all of our objectives at both parks. It did not matter if we wanted to ride over and over. Keep in mine some rides have a two ride limit. I am not a thrill seeker but our tour guide gave us all objective facts on every ride. We could decide and he was open to whatever our family was up to. At one point. Our two girls 12 and 13 wanted to ride Jurassic River adventure for a third time. My husband and I didn’t want to go but our tour guide took them with our permission and for 3O mins and we just got to chill. Our tour guide was amazing! He always gave us some hidden gem back story info for us. At the end of the day, after going back and forth between parks three times. Having a guide like Logan who was always pumped, positive and fun. When the tour was over. Our family was kind of sad to say goodbye to our guide. It is worth the money and I bet you will get a guide as amazing as ours!!

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.

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.

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