My parents and I took this boat tour on Tuesday November 10th. We got there for the first tour at 10am and were surprised to see that it would be a full boat. I guess word is getting around about this boat tour as when we returned there were enough people for two boats (approx. 15 per boat). I should... more

There are 9 reviews so far for the scenic boat tour, and all of them recommend the ride, and I do to. It is a great cultural landmark, and you will find the tour to be very informative. It is a hidden gem of Orlando, and I highly suggest you take an hour and relax on this scenic wonderland. You... more

I loved Winter Park. It was like a breath of fresh air compared to the hustle bustle of Orlando. I am so happy we went on this boat tour. It was cheap $10 (free with the Orlando Go card) and well worth it! The boat ride was calm and relaxing. The scenery was gorgeous. Our guide knew all about the... more

My family and I really liked it alot. Even our teen kids enjoyed it as much as my wife and I did. Winter Park is a quaint little town once you get near where the boat tour is with cobblestone streets, nice shops etc. Not very far from Orlando and it was easy to find using our MapQuest map. Dan... more

While visiting Rollins College with our daughter recently we decided to take the advice from others and do this boat tour. Had the most amazing tour guide that had lived in the area since the early 70's. Saw lots of birds,mansions,canals that connected several lakes and learned about the local history of Winter Park. This is a must do if... more

Very well done boat ride. Even though it was a bit chilly out, they provide blankets and nice commentary. There are some NICE houses on these lakes! more

We recently found ourselves in Winter Park and decided to give the boat ride a chance. It turned out to be a lovely relaxing ride. Our guide filled us in on the history of WP along with some interesting facts and touristy info. We really enjoyed the pace of the ride and looking at the lovely waterfront homes and hearing... more

I thoroughly enjoyed this one-hour tour through three of the lakes and two of the canals that surround Winter Park. The tour guide was very friendly and informative, and the mansions along the tour were nothing short of spectacular. My favorite and most enjoyable part of the tour was the travel through the canals itself. It was very relaxing and... more

This 45 minute boat ride takes you leisurely around the three lakes of Winter Park with some very freindly, light-hearted and informative guides. The tour includes the history of the area, the homes and families around the lakes and tidbits of local "gossip." Parking can be a challange on busy days. more

Very pleasant, scenic hour-long boat tour through canals connecting five lakes. Boats are not covered due to low bridges so protect yourself accordingly from the sun. The tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly. You can buy tickets ahead of time as the boats leave every hour on the hour every day from 10 am until 4 pm. Cost is $10/adults... more
