Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to join as you walk through downtown and stop at buildings that have history of supernatural events! Our guide, Korben, was fantastic in telling the stories of ghosts, mysteries, and history that you wouldn't even know are right here in the city! A graveyard under a movie theatre, a college campus that was a former morgue, murders, mafia crimes, and more! This was such a unique experience and we had a great time! The tour is about 60 minutes covering 1 mile and features a few stops! Policy as of 4/26/24: "Pets are welcome as long as they do not disrupt or distract from the tour."

We attended a walking ghost tour in Orlando on a Sunday evening. For a Sunday night the restaurants, bars and clubs all seem to be operating as if it was the start of a weekend... although the on-and-off rain has reduced the "usual" crowd there were still a lot of people out, we actually walked to some shady parts of DTO which was more scary than the ghost stories... but wait, I'm still getting started with the actual ghost tour. Our meeting place was outside the Orange County Regional History Center in Downtown Orlando. We did a lot of walking so wear comfy shoes. Our guide talked about haunted buildings focusing on: 1- The Beacham - a ghost of an old woman is seen somewhere near the stage, always accompanied by drastic temperature drops. 2- The Cheyenne Saloon is one of the most popular venues in Orlando, but it has a spooky past... 3- Church Street 4- Ceviche - guests will see an out-of-place woman dressed in 19th century garb, standing behind them in the reflection 5- Hamburger Mary's Bar and Grille, originally a hardware store. 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 building was the location of Bundy's murder trial in 1979 My daughter purchased the Bonus Extended Tour Upgrade which was up to 4 additional haunted locations. These were all interesting and cool. Thank you to our tour guide, Tabitha.) Review #2781

Like most locals, we're huge fans of the Park Avenue area in Winter Park. Food tours are one of our…read morefavorite things to do, so we decided to do the Flavors of Winter Park tour for my fiancées birthday celebration. The tour met in the chamber of commerce building (which was beautiful) and left just after 10:45am. The tour consisted of 7 different stops, but only 5 of them served some type of food. We tried samples such as beef patties, pot stickers, pastries, soda, and more. As locals who love the area, we've tried most of the top spots on park avenue. None of what we would consider "top spots" were visited. The tour guides said they tried to find spots that we may not know about, and they did just that, but it didn't seem very intentional. We felt as if they didn't spend much time hand picking the perfect places to stop. I'll dig into that in the next section. One of the places we stopped was Fresh and Co, which is a chain. We couldn't believe the tour stopped here. Another stop was a local candy and soda shop, which offered taffy samples, but didn't really belong on a food tour. Blu served a pot sticker, which was disappointing since it's a seafood restaurant. Our first stop was at the local farmers market, which seemed a bit odd. We also didn't like that the guides never know what the locations are going to serve us. It's random. If you're hoping to get full, don't plan on it. Most of the samples are TRUE sample sizes. We went on a food tour in the fall with another local company, and were so full by the 3rd stop that we could only eat a bite at the fourth. That's how it should be at a food tour. It was nice learning some history about the area of WP, but we wouldn't recommend this tour. A plus is that you get 10% off the day of tour at any of the stops. We enjoyed going back and using this at the Ancient Olive Store. On the other hand, we've both been on the scenic boat tour, which is amazing.

The tour wasn't just food, it was also about the history of the area and some fun facts sprinkled in here and there. We stopped at 8 Park Ave spots and got varying sizes of samples. Some spots included Choulala and Blu on the Avenue. It's definitely an activity i'll recommend to friends, locals and out of towners, and something i'd do again. Thank you Original Orlando Tours!

Kyle knows a lot about the area and shared a ton of interesting information so I never felt bored or was tempted to wander. He provided great tips and suggestions for places to eat or do more sightseeing. The tour lasted almost two hours! It was a long walk, out in the sun so you should bring a water bottle and hat. This wouldn't be a good activity for anyone who has mobility issues, but it was great for us. We all enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore St. Augustine.

She took us to three super cute locations: Patrick's 1481, Bevardi's Salute, and Brick's, and we finished with a gelato spot! All the staff at each location were really sweet, except for the hostess at the first place. But overall, the experience was still so good. We had drinks at all three spots, but my favorite was definitely the watermelon lemonade at Brick's. It even comes with a watermelon garnish At first they were out, but our sweet server Gerald made it happen for me, and I really appreciated that. After that, Susan went out of her way to show us a speakeasy around the corner from the gelato place. It wasn't even included in the tour, she just did it to be nice because she could tell my boyfriend used to be a really great bartender, which made it feel extra special. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would 100% come again!

It helped me build such an appreciation of the history of the space/community we were staying in. The tour went far beyond the story of Ybor being the cigar capital of the world back in its inception. Max brought to life the importance of the social clubs, the people, and the way the entire community and land was built (stemming from the vision an investment of one individual.) Whether passionate about history or not, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ybor City or Tampa.
