Tour Overview

You’ll marvel at how a touch of Europe and old Southern elegance merge to form the Orlando suburban village of Winter Park during your visit with Original Orlando Tours!

Home and destination for celebrities of the arts, sports and politics over the ages, from Mister Rogers (yes, that Mister Rogers!) to FDR and Barack Obama, this little urban hamlet boasts some of the most expensive real estate in Florida, snuggled around quaint shops, cafes and fabulous restaurants.

You’ll see breath-taking mansions and local wildlife among natural settings as your tour starts with an hour-long guided cruise through two, narrow man-made canals and three of the seven lakes on the tranquil Winter Park chain.

Once your guided cruise has ended, you’ll be ushered to Park Avenue, the main street of Winter Park, to explore the village’s shops and cafes on your own, a destination for many of Orlando’s local residents looking to experience a bit of European cachet in Central Florida.

With a vast assortment of high-end boutiques and local cafes, Park Avenue will be a slice of Florida worth experiencing first hand!
