A wonderful tour conducted by a local (which is a rarity in Florida). Seth was great and had so much information at his fingertips. Definitely recommend this tour as a great way to familiarize yourself with this lovely place.

Awesome tour led by Seth, who carried on despite a cold. 90 minutes of walking went by quickly....even the weather cooperated! Loved the anecdotes, historical details, architecture....and finding so many new places to go back and explore. Looking forward to bringing my neighbors back for something so worthwhile,

Living in Fort Myers for 12 years I thought my knowledge level was enticing to our guests. Edison & Ford may be the most well know names but far from the most interesting characters that add historic value to our quaint town. Not only are there more players to learn about but what they were doing throughout the years is simply captivating. From the cattle barons to the Trail of Tears connection and the feisty personalities that built our political, commerce and financial systems. This is one of the best values in Fort Myers. Kudos to Seth and his proud roots.
