There used to be a great tour at Epcot called Segway around the World. It was fun and informative as to why Epcot was designed the way it was..
Have done all in the past. All were excellent. Of course, prices are higher than when we have taken these tours within the last four to five years.
I hope they bring back the Lion King VIP experience (or something like that) which includes a meal at Tiffins, VIP seating at the Lion King show, and a special safari trip with some behind the scenes information. We did that once and it was amazing. The cost was right about what we normally pay for a meal at Tiffins alone.
