Sightseeing
This is my NUMBER ONE rec for Orlando visitors and when my friends and family comes into town. Combine your day having lunch and shopping on historic Park Avenue and then take this boat tour for under $20 that is the oldest attraction in Florida...narrated by witty older gentleman who have been here their entire lives ..you will tour the connected inner lakes of Orlando, Rollins College and the old canal systems that connect these mansions that are inhabited by some of the rich and famous you never would think live in Orlando.
