Have you ever gone on vacation in Orlando, wishing you could explore the area for a few hours and see what is REALLY going on?  Then a few moments later, you realize that you don’t know your way around.  Even if you had a GPS, you quickly realize it won’t give you the quirky history and compelling tales of the places you will drive by.  So you end up doing the usual – hitting the theme parks with thousands of other tourists, spending wads of money at the outlet malls, and eating at one of the many chain restaurants that dot the tourist areas.  Certainly, those activities will fill your days and evenings but did do something unusual and unforgettable?

After a few days, you’ll probably be tired of braving I-4 with the family in tow.  Then you'll find yourself daydreaming about having a chauffeur whisk you and your family away in carefree comfort.  Imagine a friendly driver more than willing to give you the Ins and Outs of Orlando including vacation tips that might save you time and money.  Then reality sets in and you begin calculating how much it would cost per hour to have a limo drive you around (approx. $100/hr plus 20% gratuity).  By the way, they require a 3 or 4 hour minimum as well.  Oh yes, you will also need to tell the driver exactly where to take you and when.  Bummer because the only places you know are in the tourist zones.

Florida Cultural Tours has figured out how to make that dream a reality!  What if you could be chauffeured and see a few sites away from the tourist traps?  What if your trek into town was fully narrated with juicy little-known tidbits?  What if you actually got a chance to learn about the local history, see the REAL Orlando, and maybe even grab lunch at a LOCAL homegrown restaurant?  Florida Cultural Tours offers just that.  Tours usually include 2 stops and depending on the tour package, lunch is an option.  The best part is the price. Most tours are $60 per person or less (only one costs slightly more) and this certainly beats the limousine costs.  The tours are preplanned leaving the only job for you to do is to decide which day you want to go and which tour you want to take.

So if like the idea of letting someone else do the driving, give Florida Cultural Tours a try.  Tours run Tuesday through Saturday, lasting approximately 4 hours.  Small groups will be in a car or van, while larger crowds will be on a mini-bus or full sized motorcoach.  There is a driver and a guide onboard to safely escort you from stop to stop.  Admission to any of the museum stops is included in your ticket cost.  Remember, Florida Cultural Tours will let you see the Florida most Tourists don’t see!
