I learned so much. Seth the tour guide really knew his Ft. Meyers (and US) history. Because he grow up in Downtown Ft. Myers and had had generations of family from the area, he was really able to make the tour come alive. Very impressed and highly recommend for visitors and Florida neighbors

We really enjoyed our tour and tour guide, Seth Ford. Seth grew up in Fort Myers and was very knowledgeable and shared personal stories about his childhood experiences . His passion and attention to detail made our tour extra interesting. We highly recommend True Tours.
