Tour Like A Local

We really enjoyed the tour. Rich’s wealth of knowledge and the easy way he tells the history ofWinter Park and his many insights into little known family dynamics of the Rodgers’ family was engaging. Some especially fond memories were hallways of Rollins College and the statue of Mr Rogers and the kids. We loved every minute. Time well spent. Reminds us that there is always something new to discover. The boat tour and lunch on our own rounded out a memorable day.

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!

I had fantastic day with the Orlando Walking Tours! We did the Food Tour in Icon Park! It was so factual and interactive throughout, we were definitely full after visiting 4 different restaurants. Each stop we got a really good in detail description about the history behind the restaurant and what food we were about to try. Safe to say I went to bed with a happy and full tummy! Price is $65 per person. Thanks again Rich!

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

Enjoyed the walking foodie tour. Great mix of different types of foods on offer in Winter Park. Tour guides were very knowledgable giving a mix of knopwledge about the history of Winter Park and its origins, as well as the food and beverage proprietors. Would definitely recommend to those wanting to experience something different from the theme parks, etc.

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.

The night-time boat tour with Orlando Tours was GREAT! It was so peaceful on the lakes at night and the Christmas music along with all the Christmas lights were perfect for the season. Great hot chocolate and such a friendly team. We loved it and are already planning to do it again next year! 2 thumbs up!

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.

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

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!

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.

Grey weather but bright lights and great cheer.

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.

Family owned and focused on high customer experience, Original Orlando Tours delivers great bus and walking tour experiences with unique and memorable itineraries!

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.

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.

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:)

The tour company, including Sarah, who was our guide, went out of their way to schedule a time that worked for my wife and I. She was super knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting and funny stories about Mr. Rogers, his life and the time he and his wife spent at Rollins College and elsewhere. It was just the right amount of walking. I would definitely encourage anyone who thinks they might be interested to visit both Rollins College and Winter Park. Both are beautiful.
