The 10 Best City Tours in Orlando, Florida (FL)

November 1, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

From the Magic Kingdom to magical spa treatments, Orlando sparkles with the promise of adventure. Spend a day exploring the world-famous Disney theme parks, giggling with the dolphins at SeaWorld, or screaming your head off on a Universal Studios roller coaster. For a less adrenaline-pumping afternoon, enjoy the quiet natural beauty of the Harry P. Leu Gardens, or enjoy a seaweed scrub at a luxury day spa. Savor fresh and local ingredients at one of Orlando’s James Beard-nominated restaurants.

I’m a bit late on my review but I wanted to leave one for my tour guide her name is Bree she took my family and I on a tour trough the Animal Kingdom. She was amazing and super helpful with my kids. She helped me push my daughter who was in a stroller and carried my bag too. And also was holding my sons hand at some point. She took us to the best rides and attractions in the park and helped me with a fast pass for my daughter who is a amputee and made her feel extra special on her birthday that day with a birthday pin. All the staff where wishing my daughter a happy birthday it was definitely special. I have nothing bad to say about my tour guide she is truly amazing and extremely helpful. Even on my final last day in Orlando I texted her about places to eat for one good last meal and gave me some good recommendations. Thank you again Bree your truly amazing and extremely helpful my family and I where really happy with the tour ❤️❤️

We found out about this tour through the Orlando Sightseeing Pass, and chose it as one of the 3 activities we booked through that pass. I called to schedule our flight so I could tell them it was through the Sightseeing Pass, although I could see their availability on their web site before calling if I clicked on the "Book a Tour" button (I waited to book this until the day before to ensure we had a nice, clear day - no issue with last-minute availability). As expected, they did try to upsell us to their longer flights, but we were good with the short 8-minute flight since it was more just for our kids to have the experience of being in a helicopter more than the sight-seeing. The pilot gave us a running narrative of stuff to look at. We did get a little glimpse of the Epcot ball, a good look at Old Town/Fun Spot, and a field of cows. The helicopters were tiny - they could only fit 3 passengers, so we split into 2 flights (one adult and 1 kid in each flight). They did take care to only redeem 1 of the 3 activities on the our Groupon printout. Cool experience and friendly staff.

The only way to get your money's worth out of these passes is to do both the Kennedy Space Center and Legoland, because with COVID, a lot of the covered attractions are closed. You will break even if you do both Kennedy and Legoland once each on the two day passes. You will not cobble together enough of the alternative activities, given the distance between them, hours, and waiting and travel times, to cover the price of your tickets otherwise. Keep in mind that Kennedy's hours are 10am-4pm daily, which is only 6 hours a day in the middle of the day, and both Kennedy and Legoland are about an hour outside of Orlando in opposite directions. So, while Legoland is open from 10am to 8pm, you can't really do them both the same day with that two hour drive between. Get to Kennedy in the morning since they close early, the lines for their attractions and tours are long, and their movies and 'walking tours' are at set times. Legoland has longer hours in the evening, but it's a two hour drive between the two, so you won't make it to Legoland from Kennedy with enough time to enjoy it. In addition to Kennedy and Legoland, we did the Wheel at Icon Park, Boggy Creek Airboat Tours, and Congo River Adventure Golf. Legoland was kind of disappointing for us, because it's aimed at elementary-school aged children and doesn't have much for teens or adults, but it's got some cool Lego sculptures and some rollercoasters. The Wheel at Icon Park was cool, and it's in the same complex as the aquarium and Madame Tussauds that are also covered under the Go Orland Pass, however, our timing didn't work out and we only got to the wheel, and then didn't want to come back and brave the lines and parking garage for the other two attractions another day (plus they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which really limited the time we had available as travelers). Boggy Creek was by far our favorite. It's 40 minutes outside of Orlando, but it's worth it to see gators and waterfowl in their natural habitat in part of the Everglades. The minigolf was also cool, and they are open late, so that's a great way to cap the day for families with children of all ages. To get a taste of the attractions around the greater Orlando area in a short time frame, the Go Orlando Pass was great. Just make sure you check to see what covered attractions are open, and what their hours and days of operations are, and the distance between them, so you can plan your trip in advance to maximize the passes.
