Tour Descriptions


Winter Park Cultural Tour

Experience downtown Winter Park’s charm: hidden gardens and side streets that are home to unique stores, a farmer’s market and festive parades. Guests will take the Scenic Boat Tour that cruises through three of the city’s lakes.  After the boat tour, enjoy a stroll down Park Avenue to The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. 

Kennedy Space Center

Worlds apart from Orlando’s theme parks, but only 45 minutes away, Kennedy Space Center is NASA’s launch headquarters.  Tour NASA’s launch and landing facilities, experience live shows and jaw-dropping encounters with massive rockets as well as have the opportunity to meet a real member of NASA’s Astronaut Corps. 

Dolphins, Manatees and Gators, Oh My!

This tour begins en route, as a “certified” Eco-Guide narrates the significance of the Banana River, a backwater estuary and a wilderness waterway that was used by the indigenous Ais Indians.  Cruise the smooth, inland waters around the lagoon’s uninhabited islands, aboard a shallow-draft, 50 passenger pontoon boat, in safety and comfort.  Then it’s off to look for alligators in The Central Florida Everglades! You’ll travel to a 100 year old outpost -- a turn of the century fish camp and board airboats to explore an American Heritage River, the St. Johns.

Explore 110 outlet stores at Orlando Premium Outlets then visit Downtown Disney Marketplace, home to more than two dozen waterfront shops and restaurants.  Next, try The Mall at Millenia, with more than 150 shops, services and eateries.
