Always loved the beautiful architecture along 1st St, Fort Myers and curious about when and how built them. Took the walking tour this morning with Seth and learned so much. Fun to think about walking in the same places frequented by Edison, Ford, Babe Ruth, Conni Mac and Mikhail Baryshnikov - who knew?! Our guide, Seth, grew up just blocks away and added personal anecdotes from his childhood and that of his grandmother who had her first job in the Krese Five and Dime. At the end of the tour be sure ch city out the roof bar of the Indigo Hotel for a birdseye view of the city, and the Caloosahatche. Great tour, highly recommend.

This 90-minute tour of the River District was our joy. Our tour guide Seth, a native from Ft. Myers, not only knew his history but also told wonderful tales in a very charming manner. He included everybody in the group and even offered to email answers to questions he did not know. As we walked along the street, he described what used to be there, pointed out interesting building, brought us inside venues and even rewarded some who had paid close enough attention to answer question with tickets to other True Tours. I highly recommend taking this tour.
