Shrug off those winter blues with our Floridian Fun Escorted Tour!
If youâre looking for the perfect winter escape packed with sunshine, beaches, and unforgettable experiences, look no further than Travelling Timeâs Floridian Fun Escorted Tour. This 13-night tour whisks you away from the gloomy UK winter to explore Floridaâs most iconic destinations, giving you a blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture.
The tour kicks off in Orlando, Floridaâs entertainment capital. Known for its world-class theme parks and attractions, Orlando offers the perfect start to this adventure. Beyond the magic of Disney and the thrills of Universal Studios, the city is also home to lush gardens, great shopping, and lively dining spots. Here, you’ll soak in the excitement of one of the most visited cities in the world, while easing into the Floridian pace of life.
From Orlando, youâll head west towards the gorgeous Gulf Coast, where the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet Floridaâs pristine beaches. The first stop is Siesta Key, renowned for having some of the finest, powdery white sands in the United States. Siesta Key Beach is the crown jewel here, consistently ranked among the best beaches in the world for its soft, quartz-like sand that stays cool underfoot, no matter how hot the day. This laid-back coastal town is perfect for relaxing, swimming, or enjoying beachfront bars and restaurants.
Next, the tour takes you to Marco Island, an idyllic destination nestled between the Gulf and the lush Everglades. Marco Island is part of Floridaâs famed Ten Thousand Islands, offering pristine beaches, upscale resorts, and a relaxed vibe. Itâs also a great base for nature lovers, with opportunities to explore the nearby Everglades National Park and spot native wildlife, including alligators, manatees, and dolphins. Marco Island combines luxury and nature in a way that truly captures the essence of Florida.
From Marco Island, youâll cross the legendary Alligator Alley, a stretch of road that runs through the heart of the Everglades, connecting the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic side of Florida. As you journey through this unique wetland ecosystem, you’ll have the chance to spot Floridaâs iconic alligators basking in the sun along the roadside canals. The drive offers a glimpse into the wild, untamed beauty of the Everglades, one of the largest wetlands in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site.




Your journey then takes you to the southernmost point of the United StatesâKey West. Known for its laid-back vibe, colourful architecture, and quirky charm, Key West is a paradise for travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure. The islandâs rich history, from Ernest Hemingwayâs House to the famous Mallory Square sunset celebrations, provides a unique backdrop for your stay. Youâll also have the chance to explore the vibrant streets filled with art galleries, cosy cafĂ©s, and live music venues.
Key Westâs tropical atmosphere, combined with its historical significance and stunning natural beauty, makes it a must-see destination. Whether youâre enjoying the sunset over the Gulf or indulging in fresh seafood at a local waterfront restaurant, Key West promises an unforgettable experience.
The tourâs final destination is the buzzing city of Miami. Known for its art deco architecture, Latin influences, and iconic beaches, Miami offers the perfect conclusion to your Floridian adventure. Youâll explore the famous streets of South Beach, with its lively mix of cafĂ©s, bars, and luxury boutiques. The city is also home to some of the best Cuban food outside Havana, so be sure to try local delicacies like Cuban sandwiches or Ropa Vieja while youâre here.
Miamiâs vibrant culture extends beyond its culinary delights. The cityâs art scene, particularly in the trendy Wynwood district, is world-class, with striking murals, galleries, and street art to explore. And of course, Miamiâs legendary nightlife is the perfect way to wrap up your tour, with oceanfront bars, live music venues, and nightclubs offering entertainment into the early hours.
Throughout the Floridian Fun Escorted Tour, youâll not only experience Floridaâs famous destinations but also its unique and diverse music scene.
