About this experience
Every year, millions of people come to Central Florida to visit the world-famous theme parks and they think they have seen “Orlando”.
But truth be told, they have only seen the half of it, and some would argue that what you are about to experience is actually “the better half”.
Downtown Orlando is full of history, culture, art and natural beauty and I am eager to share it all with you.
On this tour you'll be guided through Orlando, you’ll see its historic buildings, secret gems, lake Eola, squares, parks, artwork, statues, fountains and so much more.
Our Virtual Guide will tell you about Orlando’s early days, Walt Disney’s history in Orlando, it’s historic characters, art, how Orlando got it’s name, and so much more.
