About Citrus Compass

Citrus Compass is an independent visitor guide to tours and experiences in Orlando, Florida, named for the region’s citrus heritage — not for any theme park brand.

What we do: compare the tours and day trips visitors actually book outside (and alongside) the big parks — Kennedy Space Center, airboats, Gatorland, ICON Park and the winter holiday calendar — on length, meeting point and who they suit.

How we work: every guide is researched from operators’ official pages, park holiday announcements, Visit Orlando / International Drive pages and public booking listings. Each lists its sources and the date its facts were last checked. Our guides are written with the help of AI tools, then fact-checked against those sources before publishing. We don’t publish invented reviews or pretend to have taken tours we haven’t.

Independence: we’re not affiliated with Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, any tour operator or Visit Orlando. See our affiliate disclosure.
