Olive oil & wine stores were excellent. Restaurants' samplings were fun. We had 14 people in our group with 2 tour guides with kind hearts. It's hard to find parking spots on Saturdays. Arrive early and wear good walking shoes.
Thank you so much for spending part of your day with us and making time to leave us a lovely review. Our guides had a great time as well celebrating the birthday!
This walking tour was so fun and definitely worth doing! We got to try lots of tasty things at several local gems, and the walking wasn’t too much at all. We went on a cloudy day, but even then you aren’t outside for too long. I would gladly do another one of their tours!
Thanks for making time to join us, and we are so happy you had a great time! Come see us again!
I had a great time exploring the Winter Park food scene with some of my friends on this tour. As locals, we’ve been to Winter Park quite often, but this was a way to see the city from a new perspective. Lots of great eats and drinks mixed with a bit of town history. We definitely are interested in booking more tours now!
We had a blast with you and your friend and are so glad that you enjoyed yourself! Please come see us again!
My family and I went on the Foodie Walking Tour in Winter Park, and we had an amazing time. The tour guides Rich and Michael were accommodating, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The food we sampled was delicious and the portions were generous. The guides share lots of fun Winter Park history along with some celebrity stories. We made lasting memories and it ended up being a great family experience. If you're looking for something fun, unique, and educational to do, then you got to give this a try. You will not be disappointed.
We're so happy that you enjoyed your time with Original Orlando Tours and thank you for the very kind review! Rich and Michael are outstanding, as is our whole team! Please come visit us again!
I thought this tour was a very great activity for those who like exploring new places. I enjoyed all the history that I learned about this town as well as being able to see the popular spots. The food was very good and each came with a great explanation on the food culture. The tour guides were exceptional and made sure to answer any questions. Overall, I thought it was a wonderful tour.
Thank you for your kind review, and we are so glad you had a great time! Please come visit us again!
Michael and Sara were super guides. They were full of knowledge about the area as well as super friendly and helpful. Extra kudos to the two of them for helping search for and find our lost gift. The tour didn't miss a beat. The food was excellent and the locations were beautiful. I would recommend the tour to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind review and we are glad you enjoyed yourself! Please come visit us again sometime!
I would definitely not classify this as a food tour . It’s a few stops with a tiny morsel at each stop . We have done several food tours in the past where you go into local establishments and sample something signature to the business . This tour consisted of a sample of a cookie and eclair , an olive and olive oil , a piece of bruschetta ( no fork , which made you lap it up with your fingers , soda and a sip of wine which the establishment advised had little alcohol ( I’m not a drinker so I didn’t mind but those who like wine were disappointed). One of the owners at the Steak restaurant was extremely rude ( this was the place you received bruschetta?) I don’t expect them to feed you steak but bruschetta certainly wouldn’t cause me to drive to Winter Park in the future . The tour guides were nice but again I truly wouldn’t classify this as a food tour.
We're sorry you didn't enjoy yourself. We are clear up front that this is a sample of 8 locations..it sounds like you would have preferred our progress dinner tour for a full meal.
I was expecting tastings at a few selected high end Park Ave. restaurants. We had a nice tasting at Blu and Choulala bakery. The rest was disappointing. For example, we sampled 3 soda flavors at the candy store and were asked to guess the flavors. We went to a ‘wine sampling’ and received about an ounce of a $14 bottle of wine. Popcorn sprinkled with spices, anyone? The tour guides were pretty knowledgeable and gave us the history of Winter Park and pointed out some popular landmarks. Overall, I do not recommend. We were left hungry and went to eat afterwards.
We're sorry you didn't have a good time with this tour. It sounds like you may have liked the progressive dinner tour, which is a full meal while this is our sampling "flavors" tour. We hope that you will come back and try that one in the future!
The two tour guides were terrific! The bits of history were appreciated! However, the restaurants were sub-par. With all the wonderful restaurants on and off Park Avenue I didn't care for the candy shop (we are adults for the most part), Fresh & Co. (which is a chain) and the seafood restaurant (cannot recall the name) that served us bruschetta???
We're sorry that you didn't enjoy this tour. We have many tours to choose from and it seems like maybe you might have enjoyed one of our progressive dinner tours more than this one. We hope we will see you again on a tour more to your liking!
Dan and Sarah were GREAT Guides!! We loved all our stops. We definitely recommend going on this tour!! They did a wonderful job of telling us the History of Winter Park...
Thank you so much for your kind response! They are both fantastic guides and I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and spending time with them...please come see us again on one of our many other tours!
