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.

Jimmy was extremely knowledgeable, and very proud of his town! He noted that I am a photographer (big camera bag was a dead giveaway!) and pointed out spots I would want to visit later. (He would have stopped, but I said no, as I sometimes take a bit to line up just the right shot...) He picked us up at a restaurant for our convenience. He was great, and this excursion was worth it!

Our tour guide, John, was terrific! His knowledge of Mt. Dora’s history and “little-know secrets” was impressive. He picked us up at the location of our choice and returned us to our vehicle. This tour is a great way to start you visit to Mt. Dora!
