My wife and I booked the Historic Walking Tour of Fort Myers after viewing a flyer of local tours in the lobby of our hotel. Our tour guide Seth ( a native of Fort Myers ) was informative and presented a colorful and introspective portrait of his hometown. I would highly recommend this tour if you ever visit the Fort Myers area. Jolly Chriss.

If you enjoy history, how cities came to be and the people who built these towns you will love this tours. Many well known and interesting people worked to founded Ft. Myers. Our guide Seth was Fl. born and bread in this area and was raised on the history of the area. He can answer any question you have. He has a true love of his hometown and it certainly shows in his presentation. I would highly recommend this tour.

I went on the Haunted Walk Tour last night and it was awesome. Definitely spooky. The "spirits" did not disappoint. Our tour guide was the greatest. I feel like I was her best friend after it was all over! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour !!!!!! Pamela Turner
