FULLY RENOVATED: Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center has undergone a stunning $134-million transformation, unveiling a reimagined lobby, refreshed restaurants, renovations to two major event ballrooms, and the complete revitalization of more than 1,400 guest rooms. In 2021, the resort debuted the expansion of 100,000 square feet of additional indoor and outdoor meeting space and more than 300 new guest rooms and suites. Conveniently located in the heart of the Sunshine State just 17 minutes from Orlando International Airport, Gaylord Palms boasts more than 500,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, 1,718 guest rooms and suites, and a breathtaking 4.5-acre garden atrium filled with more than 500,000 plants and native Florida wildlife. Attendees can network over exceptional dining experiences, unwind at the 3-acre Cypress Springs Water Park, or explore nearby Orlando’s world-famous attractions. From intimate gatherings to large-scale conventions, the resort’s dedicated team of STARS delivers world-class service to make every event extraordinary. The one-of-a-kind venues – including scenic outdoor lawns, an indoor replica of a historic fort, and the striking Emerald Bay Plaza – offer memorable settings to elevate any meeting.

Our affordable tours are priced per person with tax and gratuities included. The only thing not included are drinks. However, a beverage package upgrade is available, which provides guests a signature cocktail at various stops. Build Your Network Our exclusive experiences provide the ultimate networking opportunities. At a typical sit-down dinner, you’re lucky to engage the person to the left and right of you. Because our tours take place at multiple restaurants, with walking in between, there are countless opportunities to interact with different people when you sit down at each venue and as you traverse along the way.

You’ll take comfort knowing that everything is taken care of from the moment the tour is booked to the minute it concludes. Since the menu is already set, you have nothing to worry about. Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group. Feel Like a VIP at Each Stop With Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, you and your group members never have to worry about waiting in line to get into a top restaurant or being shown to a less than desirable table. On our tours, everyone is treated like a VIP with immediate seating upon arrival. What’s more, your group may receive a special warm welcome personally from the restaurant chef. Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share. For added ease, we can even arrange transportation pick-up and drop-off, as well as an event photographer. And for groups that desire an extra luxe experience, we can also arrange for an evening helicopter ride over the glittering lights of The Strip.

Our one-of-a-kind tours are special, from the first stop to the last. It’s an experience that attendees will reminisce about long after they leave.
