    The Chocolate Truffles
    Yunhea K.

    I saw this place driving to aquatica the other day and thought it would be fun to go to. I got tickets for my family and friends to visit and the tour was actually really fun. The tour guide was so funny which made the tour amusing. We took a lot of great pictures and it was so amazing seeing all of the statues made of chocolate! We got some truffles /bon bons from the cafe and my daughter got mango gelato which was sooo good. It was fresh mango flavor , super soft and creamy. I got 10 truffles for $30 and they were really good. The caramel bourbon was def strong bourbon flavor, was not my favorite. The matcha one was amazing mixed with white chocolate. I'd have to say my favorites were the almond crunch and hazelnut. If I'm ever in Orlando again, I'd def come back and visit.

    This museum has a coffee shop where you can find desserts and multiple chocolates. You can also be part of the tour that starts every hour. The tour is really interesting. You go through the story of chocolate, you learn about the process, you see some art with chocolate, and you taste different chocolates at the end. It is fun, the tours takes an hour and then you can purchase your favorite chocolate at the end. Highly recommended.

    Wine and Chocolate Tasting
    Allison M.

    Such a random spot. Came for the tour and wine and chocolate tasting. The tour was interesting, the coolest part was the chocolate sculptures at the end. The tour came with chocolate samples at the end. The 100% cacao was disgusting, but fun to try it after learning the history. The wine and chocolate tasting paring was the best part. Overall, if you have an afternoon to kill, go on Groupon and get a ticket!

    This was a cute chocolate store, cafe, and tour. I don't regret coming here first on this Orlando trip, but I wouldn't say it needs to be included on most travel itineraries. If you're on a budget, it does provide cute entertainment for the price, especially with the Groupon deal. There's a lot of parking in this long strip of shops, but there's so much bustle here, and the road between the parking spaces is condensed. The chocolate tour runs every hour between 12-5pm, and lasts for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's recommended to call in to reserve a time slot, since it's first come first served for walk-in tours. When I called, I was actually just advised to come in with no reservation since they anticipated there wouldn't be any competition for the time slot I wanted - the very last tour. They were accurate, as we were basically the only people there when we checked in early. Funnily enough, there were some last minute stragglers who came late to the tour and we ended up being a sizable group. The tour first takes you through a historical jungle environment, where you watch a video and learn about the discovery of cacao, and its different bean types around the world. They have a cacao husk and other items to touch and pass along, so bring your hand sanitizer. You're then led through some rooms with artefacts from the past (my memory is fuzzy here because I got a little bored) - there were random English interior decor, and then primitive versions of machines that helped to process chocolate. After that, you're led into a wonderful smelling room of points of interest and busts made entirely of chocolate. After that, they talk a little more about where they source their chocolate, talk you through the chocolate sample flavors, then give you the bite-sized pieces of chocolate and a mini cup of hot chocolate. Overall, this is a cute stop for chocolate lovers. I enjoyed how our guide made a bunch of jokes throughout the tour. I thought their selection of dessert wine was unique, and they offer samples on request. I wanted to buy more chocolate, but the prices were quite higher than expected, coming from someone who's used to one of the highest cost of living areas. The small piece of chocolate I did purchase was disappointing, and tasted like an overly sweet and creamy Kit Kat bar.

    The tour was very nice and Dave was great! He was our tour guide and very funny. We had a great time learning about the history of chocolate and seeing so many cool things. We also got the samples with the tour which was sooooo yummy! The kids and I enjoyed ourselves. The place is beautiful inside and the decor is very nice too. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. We would recommend and definitely will come again!

    I was in Orlando and my husband was nice enough to get me a Groupon to this museum and tour. It was a very nice experience. It includes the history of Chocolate, how it is made, twenty landmark sculptures made out of Chocolate, and a sampling of eight pieces of chocolate. There is also a store to purchase chocolates, ice cream, sandwiches and other things. Seating is available if you want to eat there.

    Fun walk down the history of chocolate and chocolate making... Did you know that chocolate's modern day origins are not from the Ivory Coast but Central and South America? I didn't either until we went on this fun. 45 minute tour that included histories, a storyteller, chocolate sculptures and a tasting at the end which included PURE hot chocolate (yum!) Well worth the fee and experience. Prepare to pay for the chocolates at the end - they're all limited batches that are mostly hand-made so the pricing reflects that. Your taste buds will thank you for the added cost!

    Chocolate sculpture! This was a really surprising find of about an hour long activity. The museum and chocolate shop is nestled in a small Shopping plaza. This is suitable for people of all ages. The tours include tasty samples at the end. Our tour guide today, Dave, hosted us with a relaxed, funny, and very interesting manor. He spoke of the history of chocolate and was very knowledgeable. At the end, we of course had to buy some chocolates. Sooo good! Definitely a fun activity to do.

    I am always on the hunt for a good hot chocolate, and this place did not disappoint. I got the dark hot chocolate and it was very good- sweet, creamy, and a little bit nutty. It was $6 and totally worth it. We also got the chocolate trilogy, which was 3 layers of chocolate and cake. Surprisingly light and yummy. The service was excellent, the servers were very polite and cleared our dishes very quickly.

    Super yummy place! My husband and I got a hot chocolate and pastry, very good especially if you are a chocolate lover. The pastry was so chocolatey and not dry at all. Servers are friendly. Lots of indoor seating. Wasn't too crowded when we went people just pop in to get something.

    We've had the Chocolate Museum & Cafe on our list of places to visit for a while and we finally checked it off our list. The place has a small cafe+confectionery shop on the outside and the museum's located behind it. The people at the cafe were friendly and polite. The tour was fun and our guide, Dave was amazing! He blended history with humor and provided a lot of insight into the history of chocolate as well as the technology and craft behind the chocolate bars as we know them today. The tour is about 45 minutes to an hour long and there are some beautiful chocolate sculptures on display inside the museum. They also have some of the chocolate making equipments on display as well. At the end of the tour, they offer samples of the chocolate and confectionery that they sell at the cafe. It was an afternoon well spent. Oh, and the hot cocoa they serve at the cafe is delicious! We would recommend the place for a casual afternoon date or if you're looking for something different to do in this town otherwise known for its theme parks.

    Scraped clean hazelnut mousse, tiramisu, and hot chocolate. Too good to waste even a tiny bite.

    A very entertaining and informative experience! Dave was an amazing and engaging guide cracking jokes while serving facts. A wonderful experience for all ages to take something away from. The samples were delightful and the desserts for sale were unforgettable. HIGHLY recommend the hot chocolate, not your standard hot coco in the slightest, as well as the hazelnut mousse and tiramisu. The staff are extremely kind and the atmosphere is very cozy and clean. A wonderful place to chat and savor every bite/sip.

    About one hour.

Here is what you need to know: - Time Investment: One Hour (In my opinion, the perfect amount of time) - Investment: $20 for adults, $10 for children. Truly a deal and enjoyable for all ages. - What you will see/learn: If you like history, nature, or just getting a really good tan you will not be disappointed. The true highlight was getting all the tea about the beautiful houses that line the canal and their owners. - Tips: Bring water, sunscreen, and a good hat. If you are hard of hearing, sit near the front. There is a bathroom right before you purchase the tickets and a small covered seated area if you come early. The ride is very gentle and my four year old took a nice little nap as soon as the motor started running. It can get really hot so I recommend booking an early or late afternoon tour if you are sensitive to the sun. We all had lots of fun.

The tours are on a first come, first serve basis and leave every hour on the hour. One of the canals was closed for construction when we went but it was truly still so lovely. Our tour guide provided so much history and information! Pro-Tip: SUNSCREEN, handheld fans and water. The boats are not covered and it can get very hot. They do not allow umbrellas for cover. This tour has been around for a while and I can't believe this was my first time taking one. I absolutely had the best time. Looking forward to bringing more visitors to do something so very central Florida! It's grand!

Before going out, we got a comprehensive safety brief and were informed of an area to keep our belongings. As we were cruising, we wore headsets with speakers in which captain Ryan was speaking about the surrounding environment. The headset also had microphones in which we would reply to him. As we got into the swampy area, the ride was smooth and as someone who is scared of water, I felt completely safe. Captain Ryan brought us to some wonderful hidden gems such as a few alligator nests where he explained their structure in detail and answered any questions with complete answers. We got very close to alligators and baby alligators (freshly hatched the day before) and it was an amazing experience. Captain Ryan made us feel confident that we were not in danger and if we were, he would be able to handle it. As we were finishing our tour it started to pour and we switched our headset out for a water friendly version. Rather than bringing us directly back to the docking area, we sat under an overpass to prevent getting completely drenched and possibly hurt. We made it back and Captain Ryan made sure we were all safe getting off. Overall, a truly wonderful experience. More than worth the price. It was beyond what we expected in the best ways.

Our meeting place was outside the Orange County Regional History Center in Downtown Orlando. We did a lot of walking so wear comfy shoes.

Apparition of a young girl dressed in Victorian clothing 6- Kress Building - Kres Chophouse is considered to be a paranormal hot-spot by Central Florida ghost hunters 7- St James Catholic Cathedral - they even conduct their own ghost tour inside 8- Orange County Regional History Center - we learned about one of America's most prolific serial killers, Ted Bundy.

The neighborhood has some great restaurants and shopping options and is close enough to downtown Orlando to make it convenient, yet far enough away to embrace its own identity and be a lot more laid back.

I would definitely recommend a visit to this cool neighborhood.

The town of Winter Park was plotted when Loring Chase and Oliver Chapman purchased 600 acres in 1881. Life was given to the new town when the railroad was persuaded to extend it's line. The railroad depot built in 1882 was the towns first building. A store was built at Park Ave and Morse Blvd that housed a mercantile, post office, and assembly room. The building still stands. The town was chartered in 1887 and became a retreat for wealthy northerners looking to escape the cold climate in the winter, hence the name of the town Winter Park. The towns economy was built on entertaining winter tourists. Rollins College, the oldest college in Florida was founded here in 1885. The city was incorporated in 1925 and is governed by four city commissioners and a mayor. Today Winter Park is 9 square miles and home to approximately 28,500 residents. The town is known for it's lakes, parks, museums, and shops and restaurants along historic Park Avenue. My favorite restaurant is the Briar Patch. The Winter Park Historic District includes buildings constructed from 1882 through 1965, and it runs along Park Avenue from Canton to Comstock Avenues. Winter Park has held on to its old small town charm. Popular past times here include a boat ride on Lake Osceola, a meal on Park Avenue, and a trip to the Morse Museum. Favorite festivals include the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival and the 4th of July Celebration in Central Park. The Winter Park Historic District is a delightful mixture of the new and the old and just like in the 1800's you can still arrive by train.

Having seen a lot of post cards for this event around Park Ave, we decided to give it a try this past weekend. We went with the Saturday tour and unfortunately, we were interrupted with some rain during our tour so we didn't get the full history and stroll that usually is part of it. Bummed but we didn't let it stop us from having a good time. Reid was our guide for the day and also a founder of this Food Tour. He was fun and very lighthearted throughout our experience. I do feel that since there was rain we missed most of what the tour was trying to accomplish, which was to give us a history lesson as well. I do have to say, I didn't learn much but since we were scurrying to each location, I know it was difficult. They do warn you of the rain, I mean, hello! It's Florida! So they recommend bringing an umbrella! Do yourself a favor and do that if there is more than 30% chance! You will be glad you did. For a $47 price tag, check out the stops we headed to and keep in mind, they are the same stops for each tour but they will be adding a new tour of the other end of Park Ave in the next few months. This is a tour of 6 businesses which consist of: Prato Ancient Olive The Spice & Tea Exchange Orchid Thai Cuisine Kilwin's Sassafras Sweet Shoppe Prato I have been various times so I already knew it was going to be a great kick-off to the tour. When you booked, there were an option of Wine or Beer. I went for the wine and a red wine was waiting as we were seated at the table. We tried 2 of their pizzas and had their house bread as well. It was lovely as you really can't have a bad experience in Prato. However, I think this would have been a great opportunity for someone from Prato to chat about their business but Reid did a pretty good rundown. Ancient Olive By far, Ancient Olive took the cake for being the highlight of the tour. WOW! Not only does this shop rock in it's own right, they know how to host a tour of people who love food and want a taste of local. We had someone from Ancient Olive walk us through an Olive Oil & Balsamic tasting, think Wine tasting but with Olive Oil & Balsamic. They also had some tapenade and a goat cheese spread with balsamic and almonds to snack on. They carry a local all-natural beverage mixer as well, Bungalow23 and we had the Prickly Pear. Just when we thought we were already in heaven, another door opened: Ice Cream with Olive Oil and salt... OMGGGGG... I could have stopped the tour here and taken a bath in this. You are not supposed to shop on this tour but it was raining and I spent almost $70 here. Such a great stop. The Spice & Tea Exchange They have so many teas, salts, spices and peppers than you could ever imagine. The best part is they have kick-a recipes to use and we tasted two of them on this stop. Beer cheese dip and an orzo pasta. The pasta was delicious! We also had one of their cold brew teas. Lovely stop. I did feel a little rushed from here on out but that may have been because the rain kept us at the 2nd stop for a long time. Orchid Thai Cuisine I have been here and unfortunately, everything we tasted, chicken satay and their appetizer platter was everything I have had here before. Didn't get much of a new experience here and didn't really learn anything about the business except they have been there for 6 years. Kilwin's My least fav stop on the tour. Not sure why we went with Kilwin's since it's not local. When we arrive, we really didn't learn anything about the business and no one from there interacted with us. We had a taste of the Winter Park Mud, vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips and carmel. It was good but the ice cream wasn't very smooth, it was more crystalized. I am not into fudge so I gave mine away. It was the turtle fudge. Sassafras Sweet Shoppe I adore this store so I was excited to see this on the stop. However, we only spent about 2 minutes in here and grabbed cotton candy and went and ate it under an awning outside and were sent on our way. A very abrupt ending but it was still raining out so I guess we couldn't expect too much. Overall, wasn't blown away but I did it with 2 friends and the others that were on the tour were fun as well. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon even if the stops and content didn't blow me away.

    Good food, new friends, perfect weather. What more could you want on a Saturday afternoon?…read more We had a great tour of Winter Park with Kiel. He's very knowledgable about the area and locations where we made stops. We also had great service at each of our stops, as Kiel is on a first name basis with everyone on Park Ave. I highly recommend this tour for out of town guests or if you'd just like to get to know your neighborhood a little bit better.

It was a great experience - got to meet new people, tried beer I've never had before, went to breweries I didn't know we had and enjoyed the ride. Our guide, Kevin was awesome!

I have been on two tours with Hop On! now, and I have to say that I've loved every minute of it! Kevin has been my tour guide for both tours, and he is so friendly, personable and knowledgeable about beer and the local breweries here in Orlando. With multiple packages and options to choose from, and a fun friendly atmosphere, there is something for everyone to enjoy. All of the tours start off at Broken Cauldron, located in Downtown Orlando near the Orlando City soccer stadium. I went on the Seminole County tour, and got the chance to check out four awesome breweries and learned so much about the history and culture of the brewery scene in Orlando. Hop On has partnered with the Central Florida Ale Trail, and has a variety of tours to take you to the various stops on the Ale Trail, and even provides you with a map to let you track where you've been! The tours include the Seminole County, Downtown Orlando, and Winter Park brewery tours, with special tours and special events available as well. The tours give you the option to include a beer at every stop, or you can just pay as you go. Now lets talk about the bus itself. The bus is a 14 passenger bus, which provides for a more intimate and friendly atmosphere. It is decked out with cool brewery stickers, super comfy seats, and even has a cooler in the back to store any purchases you might like to take home with you from the breweries. The tour guides take you through the evening recommending beers to try, doing beer trivia, and playing awesome music. It is a great way to meet people, play games, and have fun, all while enjoying some amazing brews. Overall, I think that a Hop On tour is an amazing activity to do with friends or even just for a fun date night! They offer tours Friday-Sunday but also host special events like Birthdays, Bachelor/ Bachelorette parties and more! If you are in the Orlando area and want to try something truly special, you've GOT to check it out!

    I have been wanting to go on the Barbara Lee for YEARS and we finally did it! I decided I wanted to…read morecelebrate my birthday during their Italian Night with a wine pairing. Our party ended up being 20 of us and we were able to share a unique link for purchasing tickets so our party was all linked together as one party. When we first boarded, there really wasn't any direction as to what to do or what we could do so we just sat down at our table and waited for someone. We weren't sure if we could or should go to the bar to order drinks or if we could walk around before dinner. It took a while (10+ minutes) for anyone to approach our table.) Once someone approached our table we ordered drinks and then walked around the boat. We went to the top deck to take some photos and watch the sunset before dinner started. Once dinner started we were able to go the buffet as munch as we wished. Since it was Italian night they had all Italian dishes, none of the dishes really stood out but nothing was bad. It was good, but not like wow! While eating they started pouring our wine samples. We got two red and two white samples and a sommelier talked us through each sample. After the first two samples they gave us a break to walk around, go to the bathroom, etc. I would have preferred a shorter break in the middle of dinner and more time in the beginning so that we could spend more time on the deck while the sun set. Tickets for this event were $65 and in my opinion it was worth it. We had a great time and it was something I could check of my bucket list!

    "I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed…read moredays, the dark sacred nights And I think to myself...What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong The best lyrics for such an experience on this ship. My newly created memory is so dear to me now. Just starting from the entry of the shop to pick up tickets. The staff was so bubbly with smiles and welcoming energy to assist you once you came in. Then after receiving our tickets we got to walk around a bit to enjoy the breeze. Now 15 minutes before our sail time they started guiding everyone to their designated tables. Once we were seated we were informed of all our important safety information while aboard and locations of the restrooms. Then our server came over to take our drinks. Our table was filled with charcuterie boards with fruit and cheese with sweet tea, watermelon tea, and water available within arms reach. We had a live performance throughout the interior time. They even sung requested songs. I enjoyed watching all of the other married couples get up and dance. My husband even got me to get a dance floor for one of the songs. Lol I was so nervous but I really enjoyed it. Once the food started rolling in we started with a house salad and bread. Then we got up and walked around the ship. We took photos and watched the sunset. It was so peaceful with amazing songs playing softly in the background. Once they announced dinner was being served we headed down to our table. Now about my Savory Herb Roasted Half Chicken with a White Wine Supreme Chicken Sauce.I chef's kiss for sure. I picked mashed potatoes and corn for my sides. Anyone who knows me know I love me some corn. Lol the chicken was so juicy all the way through. Flavor was perfect from the white meat to the dark meat parts. I was so stuffed you could probably roll me off the ship afterwards. Lol I enjoyed being able to try two virgin mocktails with a carrot cake that surprised me. The dessert was so tasty and fluffy. I could barely finish it. if ypu have not given this experience a try I highly recommend it. Thank you to the captain and staff on board you guys did amazing!!
