Un recorrido que no hay que perderse !! Fui con mi familia a pasear por Mount Dora y es un pueblo encantador, con casas hermosas, tiendas increíbles y restaurantes de muy buena calidad. Terminamos el día paseando con Premier Boat Tours haciendo el recorrido para ver el atardecer y definitivamente fue la cereza del pastel. El recorrido fue muy lindo, el atardecer espectacular y el capitan y su ayudante (que tristemente no recuerdo sus nombres) fueron super amables y nos contaron cosas muy interesantes durante el recorrido. Si puedo regresar a Mount Dora, definitivamente haría el tour de nuevo.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Peace and Serenity What a great tour! The scenery on the lake and in the canal were beautiful. We saw some beautiful birds and a few alligators. Peaceful and relaxing! Our guide and captain were the best! I would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Mount Dora.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Beautiful Tour, Uncomfortable Crew Dynamic The Lake Dora and Dora Canal tour was absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to end our weekend in Mount Dora. The scenery was stunning, and the tour itself was relaxing and enjoyable. Captain Jonathan did a great job—he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the cruise informative and fun. Unfortunately, the dynamic between the first mate, Donna, and her trainee took away from the experience. Donna continually corrected and critiqued her trainee throughout the entire tour, often in front of the passengers. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and was distracting from an otherwise wonderful outing. I really felt for the trainee, who remained professional and handled the situation with grace even when she seemed visibly discouraged. Overall, I’d still recommend the tour because the captain, the scenery, and the experience on the water were excellent. I just hope future trainees receive coaching in a way that’s more encouraging and respectful, especially in front of guests.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Highly recommend ed! The two-hour tour provided an interesting history of the lake and surrounding areas, and geographical insights about the Chain of Lakes. But the real highlight was the time spent in the canal, immersed in Old Florida wilderness and wildlife. Paula and Paul were knowledgeable, personable and excellent tour guides. We went on a Monday morning - quiet and tranquil, with almost no others in the canal.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Mt. Dora Premier Boat tour review Just finished a 2 hour Mt. Dora Premier Boat tour hosted by the "Paul and Paula Show". They were great, very knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend it ! One tip they shared with us is to go during the week because it's more crowded on the weekends.
