Discovery Cove in Orlando is definitely on the pricier side, but honestly, the experience makes it…read moreworth it! It is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and feels like a tropical escape right in Orlando. Everything is so well-maintained, and the atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for a full day of enjoying the water and beautiful surroundings. The food was okay--nothing that really stood out to me--but with so much included in the experience, that wasn't the main reason I came. The opportunity to swim, relax, explore, and enjoy such a gorgeous setting made the day really special. It is an expensive experience, but if you're looking for something unique, relaxing, and memorable, I definitely think Discovery Cove is worth doing at least once!

An expensive disappointment! The Dolphin pkg felt like an amusement ride- teach, touch, clap,…read morethanks for your $..NEXT Alot has changed since the the last time we went. Our last experience was amazing. Lastly, we were warned by a staff member to make sure we get a locker for our personal items. She actually said that people steal items from you. I take that as alot of theft here.

This is one of my favorite places to take friends and family visiting Florida from out of town!…read more You are able to see and learn so much about Florida wildlife, and there are so many interactive opportunities too!! There is something for every age here! Ticket prices are very reasonable and I feel like the facilities are decent as well. The animals look well taken care of too. The staff are all very knowledgeable and have so much to share about the animals they care for here. Overall we really enjoy coming here and will continue to come back!

If you're looking for something authentic and nostalgic to Florida , Gatorland is a must !…read more I've been to gator land since I was a kid during summer vacations in Florida and now my little one loves coming here. This was a family day with 16 of us and everyone had a blast. For some of my family members, we received free admission for active and retired military as well as corporate benefits for others so that was nice. The kids loved the shows , the rock climbing and being able to take photos with baby gators and reptiles. This is definitely something fun for all ages so if you are local or on vacation, get on Groupon and get your tickets !

What a wonderful tour!…read more The Orlando Lake Tour offers a relaxing 75-minute journey through the stunning Butler Chain of Lakes. You will cruise past beautiful scenery and impressive multi-million-dollar homes aboard a comfortable pontoon boat with sunshades. Captain Steve is both punctual and friendly. He has a lot of knowledge on the local wildlife, flora, and notable past and present residents of the area. All seats require advance booking by phone, and at just $25 per person - it's incredibly reasonable for everything you will see and learn. Be sure to take pictures! The lakefront homes are gorgeous. I really appreciated that the group size was small as it creates a more intimate setting and makes it easier to engage with Captain Steve and ask questions throughout the tour. 5 stars.

Easy solid five. What good fun! Was sort of a bucket list thing to do way down low on the list…read morebecause I grew up around here; even lived about across the street so many years ago but never fared the lakes. Makes for an especially excellent Floridian wildlife tour if you're not from here. You'll see a lot of wildlife ...and ridiculously opulent rich folks homes; swimming pools, movie stars, they always have the best stuff including some the most beautiful lakes in Central Florida. Anyway, when the opportunity presented itself, this was the tour we chose and I'm so very happy we did. Steve's Great. Friendly, helpful, and nice; informative. We really enjoyed ourselves and thank him for the memorable experience. Thanks Steve! We brought waters and recommend you sunscreen yourself up. And FYI, portable toilets are near the ramp and proper restrooms are at the front of the park. One of the locks doesn't work. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!! lol

We just completed a 4 day Disney World Parks tour with Chris and his team at Elite Orlando VIP…read more This was our second Disney trip with them and once again they were simply outstanding! We were fortunate enough to have Chris as our in-person guide for the 4 days, and with Taylor handling the virtual side of things, checking the minute by minute park updates, everything went very smoothly. With the level of professionalism, time efficiency and experience (especially when needing to pivot last minute due to sudden ride closures) Elite Orlando provides, you are left actually ENJOYING the day rather than waiting in insufferable lines, constantly staring at your phone or panicking when something disrupts your plans. By 1-2 pm, you've completed everything on your itinerary (sometimes twice) and you can exit the park with confidence or enjoy a nice sit down meal. Just leave it to the pros and book. Thanks again Chris! We'll see you next time on our Universal Studios trip.

Chris and his team are the absolute best and truly deserve the name "Elite". My family and I have…read moreused them for 6 of our Disney and Universal Studios trips over the past 10 years. Our last trip with them was booked three days prior to us leaving for Orlando and somehow they were able to set everything up for us! It makes your trip so easy to know that you don't have to constantly be looking at your phone trying to set rides up and gives you the opportunity to enjoy Disney and Universal Studios with your family! Highly recommend. Special shout out to Rick and the Beast of the East Brian!!!

I first saw this place on instagram and knew I had to book with them so my husband could go Jet…read moreSkiing for the first time for his birthday! The online booking process was quick and easy. They sent an email with all the follow up details which were very clear and direct. You do have to take a Florida boaters course but it's pretty quick and easy to do. That does cost an additional $9.99. The best part was the person helping us and setting up my husband with the jet ski. His name was Conner. He was so kind and personable. Everything felt safe and organized. My husband had a blast! They also had ATV rentals here and many other things. I was would definitely recommend Luxe rentals to anyone looking for outdoor adventures.

WOW!!! This was amazing. Our tour was suppose to start at 8:30 but we got our there early and they…read morelet us go at 8:00. First, our tour guides....Chris and Mandi...pure Disney Magic. They were awesome. Personable, friendly and so knowledgeable about the park and animals. They were both fun and worked so well together. We start with getting fitted for our harnesses. This adventure has some climbing and hiking through the woods. It's nothing that an out of shape 50 year old can't do cause I am one. After getting fitted for the harnesses and some safety briefing, it was off to the woods. First stop, hippos, where another guide met us who is an expert on hippos. We got to get up close and personal with them and learned all about them while getting to ask questions. Next on to the bridge over the crocodiles. Now, this walk over the crocs is a bit daunting. You're strapped in with your harness and walk over a suspended bridge with "broken" steps. It was fun but probably the most adventurous of everything you do. Everyone in our group loved it. At the end, another expect who knows all about crocs. Now we get into a safari truck and go through the safari portion. This was great cause it goes to places the regular safari tour does not. We got much close to the animals that the regular tour and got to stop and learn more about them. About half way through we stopped at a little raised hut for a bathroom break and African inspired snack. It was delicious and we got to spend some time with our guides and watch the animals. During the Trek, our guides we constantly taking picture for us and of us so we didn't have to worry about taking pictures. All the pics they take come free with your tour package so they don't hit you up to pay for them after. The pics turned out great! If you have a little adventure in you and want to get really close to the animals and learn about them, go on this tour. Ask for Chris and Mandi and you cannot go wrong!!!

One of my favorite experiences in Central Florida!…read more I really recommend that for everybody! I have never done something like this in my life and it was such an amazing experience ! Specially doing that at sunset time ! The view was fantastic ! There is a guide that comes with you the whole time! And the experience to drive by yourself is amazing! Must be 18 years or older with a valid drivers license to drive. Passengers must be at least 5 years old and accompanied by an adult. It lasts between 90/120 minutes.

What a wonderful day! Grace was our tour guide! There was a group of 8 of us. We all ventured out…read moreinto the lake and enjoyed the day on the boats. They are comfortable, and awesome for a day on the lake. Grace took us around to different canals and the lakes in Clermont. She was informative and very knowledgeable about the area.

Would Never Go To A Park Without Them Again! Kunal Is The Best!!…read more Our Crew - 9 people. Ages 5, 12, 14, 44, 45, 48, 48, 69, & 70. With those age ranges, i was thinking it would not be so easy to navigate everyone's wishes, but our guide Kunal (or K as we called him) did just that. I would also like to point out that it is also difficult to join in on a vacation of 9 people and get along with them all, and that is exactly what Kunal did. Everyone loved him. He had a calming affect on both the kids and the adults. We are still texting him pictures he took with us! The Process - Shay from World Class handled all of my 30 annoying questions asking her about how things work. Their service was recommended by a friend of mine, but i was still skeptical if the extra cost was worth it knowing I had such a large party. Once I agreed to pull the trigger, Shay sent me an excel spreadsheet with all of the rides listed from each park. We chose which rides were a "cant miss for us" , and others that we would have interest if there was still time available. I then gave Shay my login for my Disney account so they can organize each of our fast passes. Magic Kingdom - Kunal got us in prior to the park opening to the public. We were 12th or so in line for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.Once they completed their test runs, we were all on the 2nd train out together! We rode 10 rides or so and were done around 2:30pm, giving us plenty of time to relax back in the pool at the hotel. Hollywood Studios - We were at the line early and rode Slinky Dog within 10 minutes of us entering the park. We were done at this park by 1pm after 8 rides/shows. Toy Story Mania was super fun. Universal Studios/Islands of Adventures - Kunal got us in the park 45 minutes prior to it opening. It was almost weird walking around the park by ourselves. We did the Minion Show, Transformers, and Mummy ride all prior to 9am. Pretty Crazy. It was tough to time how long we were here, because thunderstorms caused some delays, but we completed almost 20 attractions at both parks and did not stay till closing. Another added benefit - Last year the kids fought over what ride was next and who got to pick it, this year all they asked was "Which ride is next K?" - after every single ride. Never was there an argument over what was next. That is worth its weight in Disney gold... Cost - It is not cheap at $175/hour, but the value you receive well surpasses the price tag. If you can add this splurge, it is a must. The way I look at it, you are literally buying back hours of each day for use doing other things. Verdict - 100000% I would use them again. I can not speak for their other guides, but just request Kunal and you will be as happy as can be. We joked that the longest lines we waited on in 3 days were for popcorn and dole whip. I do not think we waited more than 10 minutes for any ride in 4 parks. Insane. And we are hooked.

Disney Tours VIP is an amazing company. Our extended family of 13 used their services for 4 of our…read more6 days in Orlando during high season this past summer, and I can't even imagine visiting Disney's theme parks or Universal without them. Our group consisted of 3 6-yr olds, 2 11-yr olds, 1 13-yr old, and 7 adults ranging in age from 38 to 70. It is absolutely not conceivable that we could have enjoyed our trip even 1/2 as much without the services of this remarkable company. Our tour guides all 4 days were Gabby and Kristen, and they quite literally and immediately became part of our family. You would think that with our group covering such a large range of ages and interests, that there would have been pulling in different directions while seeing the parks. And you would be wrong. Everyone just wanted to always be with Gabby and Kristen, as they guided us onto every ride and attraction that everyone wanted to see, no lines, no waits for our VIP seating in the shows - I still don't understand how they do it. This is an absolutely awesome company. From you first phone contact to the day you sadly say good-bye to your guide, this is a 1st class, one of a kind, experience. I feel as though I'm so enthusiastic about this company, someone might think I've got a connection to them other than as a customer. I am simply a most satisfied customer. If a Disney World experience with no waits in line, VIP show seats, no rushing around, and all reservations made for you, is what you want, use this company. I strongly recommend Disney Tours VIP.
