“Who knew Kissimmee had so much history AND such great CHEAP Food!”

Reviewed 15 April 2012

As Orlando is only a couple hours south of Jacksonville by car I'm always on the lookout for new things to see and do on my frequent short driving visits. I've pretty much done all the amusement parks, museums and gardens so when I saw a Living Social deal for these tours I jumped on it. I had originally planned... More

Dash Around Tours thanks you for taking the time to submit a review of 'The Kissimmee Kulinary Dash' Tour! We show visitors and locals alike the 'other side' of Orlando/Kissimmee and Central Florida: visiting places that provide every bit as much entertainment as the theme parks do minus the animatronics and crowds. We feel a proper Tour should provide interactive... More

“Great new way to explore Orlando”

Reviewed 10 April 2012

As a newer local to Orlando, living here for 3 years, this was a great tour to learn new and interesting things about my new hometown. I have done all the traditional Orlando destinations many times over and was looking for something different to do while my parents were visiting. Barry's tour did not disappoint, it was a fresh look... More

Dash Around Tours really appreciates our Guests taking the time to post a Trip Advisor review. Each of our Dash Tours offer REAL Florida! REAL Fun! As long-time residents of Orlando we know Central Florida better than many of our competitors who import Guides from other areas and worse yet, use hired bus drivers as 'Guides'.

My daughter and I went on the Roadside Tourist dash and had a fantastic time. Barry is an excellent & personable tour guide and made sure that we had a really good time. My only regret is that we didn't have time to take more tours. Make sure you go on a tour that offers ice cream from Abracadabra. So... More

We went on The Florida Traditions Tour and The Wild and Wacky Tour on February 4th and 5th. Barry did a great job on both tours. I enjoyed the Florida Traditions Tour the best. Bok Tower Gardens is beautiful. This tour also had more food samples. A friend also joined us on the tour, and that made this tour even... More

We love adventurers that subject themselves, er, purchase for themselves...multiple Dash tours from Dash Around Tours! You experienced 'Classic Florida' on your 'Florida Traditions Dash' on top of the highest 'mountain' in peninsular Florida (300 feet high!) at Bok Tower Gardens. You also got 'spooked' at nearby Spook Hill, another Florida Tradition. And what better 'Florida Tradition' than to visit... More

My wife and I had a wonderful time on the 192 Tourist Dash.

Reviewed 6 February 2012

We went on the Florida Traditions and the Wild and Wacky tours. Both tours were extremely informative and fun.

I have to give Dash Around Tours 5 stars. The two we chose were fun, (Ok, really a hoot!) very informative, off the beaten path, not your usual kind of tours.

Dash Around Tours appreciates repeat Dashers! The Roadside Tourist Dash Tour is a celebration of Florida kitsch and a bygone era of visiting quirky roadside attractions. You certainly got a 'taste' of Kissimmee by taking two of our tours based in this area. It certainly is a compliment from experienced visitors to the Orlando area that they learned something new...
