3.00It was an okay tour. We were hoping to walk in downtown Orlando but never did. We wished they had given us more time to explore and we expected more. Of well but our grayline tour guide/driver was very funny and informative but wasn't long enough.
Fantastic Tour with Ismaiel!

5.00Ismaiel was an outstanding guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of energy. He gave us a great bus tour around Orlando, sharing fun facts and local insights that made the city come alive. The highlight was heading down to the Chain of Lakes, where the views were stunning and the experience felt peaceful and personal. Highly recommend touring with Ismaiel if you want a memorable and well-guided adventure! Viola
