Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour

Went on the Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour on Monday: http://scenicboattours.com/

I’d heard good things and they were true.  It was a great hour on 3 WP lakes and a couple of canals.  Dan was a great tour guide, and the measuring tape suspenders were perfect.  He had lots of tales about former Magic players, Tom Hanks, and other notables around the lakes.  Personally, I loved it because it showed me aspects of WP that I didn’t know existed, and had a lot of real local flavor.

Pros: Beautiful lakes and canals; shows a different side of Central Florida; boat was pretty comfortable; great tourguiding; reasonably price ($10 per adult); offers something different for locals and out-of-towners

Cons: Gets very hot – boat has no shade; lots of people (could just be the Memorial Day traffic); little parking

Overall: Do it!  Great tour that gets beyond pre-packaged central Florida.
