What To Expect

Donnelly House

The Donnelly House is a beautiful Queen Anne style home built for the Love of his Life in 1893 by JP Donnelly. JP was one of the Founders of the local Yacht Club, the First Mayor of Mount Dora and quite the character. There is a twist here though and we’ll give you the low down on our Historic Downtown Electric Cart Tour.

Mount Dora Historical Society Museum

On our Historic Downtown Electric Cart Tour we'll pass by the Old Fire Station and Jail House. This building is now the Historical Society Museum and definitely worth a visit after your tour with us as it’s filled with trinkets from years gone by.

We booked online and got an immediate email confirmation. We got a call from our driver 20 minutes in advance to arrange a meet-up location. Our guide, Jimmy, picked us up at our B&B. He drove us around for at least 30 minutes and pointed out landmark sites while giving us an overview of the layout of the town of Mt. Dora. All the while, he told us lots of historic facts, some town stats, and plenty of fun trivia.
