This is a tour that EVERYONE in winter park needs to take. Rich is an amazing tour guide! Very informative, funny, and opened our eyes to the Mr. Roger’s story beyond the tv show.

It was a delight to take this tour and to walk in the footsteps of Fred Rogers. It was interesting to learn why he chose Rollins College. And to learn that it was here where this quiet man was initially encouraged to perform on stage. If you are in Winter Park, take this tour, and imagine Fred strolling in front of the shops while courting a young pianist name JoAnn, talking of their future together. How simple, and yet how important, to be someone’s neighbor.

Who knew behind those sneakers and handmade sweaters was a man who skinny-dipped, hated going to the doctor and proposed to his wife in a letter? Mister Rogers was a legend, but he was also human, and this tour captured it perfectly. The stories about his not always happy childhood to his knack for knowing how to relate to the little ones makes this tour a must when visiting Winter Park.
