Itinerary
We will pass by the new soccer stadium so you can see where the Orlando City Lions and Pride play during our tour of Downtown Orlando
Pass through the historic Church Street Station district, the tour guide will drive by and point out this area that once made Orlando famous
Then you're off to Winter Park where you will join the narrated scenic boat cruise from which you can view the abundant homes of the city and its college from the waterway.
Back on dry land, you will be given free time to wander the boutiques and stores of Park Avenue, Winter Park Orlando's famous shopping and dining district. A fantastic place to meander and simply stroll through eclectic stores, or maybe eat some lunch.
The first point of interest for a brief photo stop on the City Tour is a journey around Lake Eola and a drive through the heart of downtown Orlando where you will learn all about Orlando with a local's perspective! This truly is the City Beautiful!
Next up is a stop at Disney Springs for some magical fun! This is the newest entertainment, dining and shopping district that has been built by Disney. It has many unique stores that are only found here, including the largest Disney Store in the world. If you are hungry there are over 20 types of cuisines on offer - truly something for everyone!
The last stop on the tour is the ICON 360 plaza where you will get to ride the ICON and see Orlando from the sky! Florida is so flat on a clear day you can often see all the way to the space coast, as well as the skyscrapers of Downtown Orlando are beyond. The tour guide will leave you at ICON park at the end of the tour, so you would make your own way from this location in the evening. This is to allow you to eat dinner and spend the evening in this region. This is the final drop off and stop location.

excellent trip....highly recommend i learned about Orlando and all the activities there are. The host was very informative and had a world of knowledge about the area. I would go again and keep my self update as to what is happening in the cityl
Awesome tour. A must do while in Orlando. Really knowledgeable tour guide. Beautiful scenery on Winter Park boat ride.
Greg was such an amazing tour guide. He picked us up our hotel. He was so accommodating to my mother cause she is sickly and moves a little slow but he made her and myself feel so comfortable getting on and off the bus. He made such silly jokes, very informative on Orlando (I learned so much), kind, and patient. This is one of the best tours I’ve been on in my life. Small group but worth the experience. Thank you again to Greg and this company!
The boat captain was extremely personable and knowledgeable. The tour driver Greg admitted he was sick and still chose to drive around with 11 visitors in an enclosed van. He drove with the cell phone on his lap and did not have his eyes on the road 100% of the time. He complained about other passengers when they left the tour without notifying him, and although he was justifiably perturbed at the slight and presumably the loss of tips from five passengers, good customer service would dictate that he resolve the matter privately with the party in question instead of out loud. There was considerable time spent driving around the neighborhoods to point out minor sights. Not sure if there could have been more time spent at Disney Springs, visiting The Wheel or some other places. Although we received a voucher for two free rides at The Wheel, the voucher was impossible to use since our vacation schedule for the other days was already planned in advance
I really enjoyed visiting Winter Park and learning the history of this place. Then we took a boat ride. Our captain, Russell was excellent. We made a stop by the large statue of Orlando to take pictures…great scenery
Had a wonderful time the Winter boat trip was a wonderful way to start the day as well as walking around the Rollins college and town was charming and ending with Disney Springs early Dinner at the Paddleboat. Nice way to see the city.
Friendly informative tour guide. Everything we saw we enjoyed learning about Orlando. Enjoyed boat tour of the lakes and the cruise down the creek between the lakes. Winter Place was a nice stop for lunch.
We booked an Icon tour in Orlando and out tour guide, Ismaiel, was wonderful! We loved our tour and found Ismaiel to be very knowledgeable and proffesional. Thank you for a great day!
Boat ride and history of Winter Park. Our tour guide was wonderful as well. He’s a wonderful driver and tour guide. He picked us up on time and returned us safely! He has a beautiful personality!
It was a nice tour. We enjoyed the scenic boat tour. Our driver/guide was well knowledgeable and was delivering good information during city tour. He was polite helpful and smiling person.
The tour could be more elaborate. It is said it’s up to 4pm, but it ends around 2pm, which is good if you still want more things to do by yourself, but I definitely felt it could be more elaborate and cover more spots. The boat ride is great, definitely recommend.
The first half of tour was fine, the bus was not air conditioned, if it was it was not working, it was very hot. The second half was to a Disney center which really wasn't a tour of Orlando, the area to meet was not clear and there was not a direct contact to driver, had to call the booking company which took a long time to help. The Disney center is more appropriate for a younger crowd. I would not recommend.
I really enjoyed my tour. It was my first time taking a tour of Orlando. Winter Park and the boat ride were the most memorable part.
We really enjoyed the tour! Our guide Ishmael was very knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to accommodate us. The boat tours were also wonderful - Skipper Don was took off where Ishmael began and really rounded out the experience. We highly recommend!
Wonderful trip to see Orlando that gets lost in the shuffle of Disney Icon park wheel later in the day is a neat experience.
I’m so glad that I found this tour when I was searching “things to do in Orlando”. It was awesome and my husband and me thoroughly enjoyed it. Jason, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny and pleasant, we have been coming to Orlando for years and never knew about this tour. We learned history about Orlando (pre-Disney) that kept my attention. We are very satisfied with our experience and will definitely be recommending it to our family and friends.
Excellent guide, full of positive energy and a font of knowledge concerning all things Orlando. Very worthwhile tour. Highlight was boat tour around Winter Park’s chain of lakes. Pulse Club visit unforgettable. Great shopping and wonderful to see inside Orlando’s back story. Other guests were affable and pleasant.
We had a great tour of Orlando. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area. We look forward to taking another tour with Gray Line.
Beautiful visit of the whole city and stop in key areas for history. Our guide Kevin was clear and precise
The publication says that it ends at Icon Park, it did not; We never went there. The tour included a visit to a stadium and we never went. The stay times at Winter Park and Disney Springs were very short. The bus has tinted windows which does not allow you to see well during the tour. I wouldn't take it again nor do I recommend it. The tour ended at 4 pm and much of the time is spent picking up passengers.
