About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- codyjd0 contributionsa taste of OrlandoThis was a nice little supper surprise, with 3 stops (2 savory, 1 sweet). We visited Gordon Ramsey Fish & Chips, Brother Jimmy's BBQ, & ¡Café de Paris.* It was the perfect amount of food and drink for me, esp. on a hot day, and a decent [Orlando] value for the variety. I was looking for a bit more walking and talking (we didn't travel far), but it turned into a pleasant evening. I think OOT offers another, longer tour, too, if you're esp. hungry and/or have more time. {Our guide, Jordan, was great—she's a native Floridian, didn't hover, and made sure we were all taken care of.} *Note that the restaurants change periodically—call ahead if you want to know exactly where you'll be getting your food.Written 4 May 2024
- D4917BKcatherinec0 contributionsHighly Recommend This TourRich was a fantastic guide, with great stories about Mr. Rogers, the history of Winter Park, and Rollins College.Written 31 December 2023
- christyh7130 contributionsA must do...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!Written 22 October 2023
- Susano7740 contributionsFun foodie tour!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.Written 5 September 2023
- karenkL2647AP0 contributionsSuper friendly and knowledgeable guide plus outstanding customer service.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.Written 24 February 2023
- Joegqa10 contributionsA memorable and pleasant tourWe really enjoyed the tour. Rich’s wealth of knowledge and the easy way he tells the history of Winter 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.Written 4 February 2023

- christK1144VK0 contributionsPrivate VIP Experience at Universal Orlando was AmazingThis was so very worth it! Dani was our guide and she was with us the entire day, telling us all the back stories and letting us know the details of the rides when anyone was uncertain about riding . We did the Motorbike ride three times that day! We also walked backstage , met Spider-Man , and Dani walked us to the very front of the line anywhere we went . The experience includes a breakfast buffet and lunch buffet in a private air conditioned area and also dinner which you can take at your choice of several restaurant options at the park. The ease of the experience and amazing guide we were lucky to have , made it an unforgettable experience ! We will do it again for sure .Written 18 June 2022
- usnamom20010 contributionsExceeded our expectations! What a fun tour!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.Written 17 May 2022

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!Written 13 April 2022

- KelSquared0 contributionsBest Way to get a Taste of ICON ParkMichael, our tour guide was great! Not only did we get to try delicious food, but they go into a little bit of history at each location. If you've ever been to ICON Park and can't decide where to grab a bite to eat, this is an awesome way to experience a variety of options so that you can decide on your next visit.Written 17 March 2022
- Amanda P0 contributionsThe VIP beats any express pass you are looking at purchasingI 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!!Written 9 July 2021

The Flavors of the Winter Park Foodie Tour was a nice morning out. We started out at an easy-to-find location with a lot of complimentary, nearby parking.
We stopped at a variety of locations and tasted bite size samples of sweets, candies, and Jamaican patties. We liked that the manager of Blu on the Avenue restaurant personally came and talked with us about the restaurant and other nearby ones. Likewise, we liked the food samples at Ancient Olive and Hamilton’s Kitchen. But keep in mind these are just samples, so don’t go hungry.
Rich had great tidbits about the history of Winter Park but we wanted more of this. He seemed like he had a wealth of local information, but we only got a little taste of it on this tour. I imagine his ghost tour and Mr. Rogers tour would be interesting.

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!

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!!!

We have participated in many food tours in many cities, and were very disappointed in this one. The guides worked hard and were informative, but the food choices were repetitive and meager. We were both hungry when we finished, which was a first on our food tours. Too many sweets locations, we thought.

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!

We had Rick as our tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The intro to 5 eating establishments in Winter Park was very informative. The walk was pleasant and Rick added to our knowledge of Winter Park history. We now have more information which will make our future visits more fun and more interesting.
The only reason this is rated as a 4 star is that we compared it to our Mr. Rogers Tour with Rick which was a 5+ star performance, the best professional tour we have ever had.

We would love to learn more about the ones you did not like if you wouldn't mind sending us the information at info@originalorlando.com so that we can address that.

Thank you for the kind review! We've taken steps based on feedback to remove a couple locations that we all did not feel were following through with their commitment to quality, and hope you will come back for this or another tour in the future. Thank you for the candid and balanced feedback and we hope to see you sometime again soon!
