The ghost tour was so fun Nicole our guide told stories about Florida and its backstory with natives and other people who helped build Fort Myers. The experience was an overall 10/10 when our guide pulled out an emf reader soon after that it spiked to five! She let us hold the emf and she gave us time to take photos and we even captured ghost orbs.

The tour was so fun!!! It was raining when we went and that helped to set a spooky mood. Nicole, our guide, was lovely and her dog made the tour all the more enjoyable. Other than ghost stuff, learning about the history of Fort Myers was eye opening. The tour was only about an hour long, but my group and I (only about 8 people) stopped at a lot of places along the way. Me and my sisters even caught a “ghost orb” on camera which was pretty cool. Overall 10/10, I would definitely recommend
Thank you for such a wonderful review, Elizabeth! We're delighted Nicole helped make your tour so enjoyable. It's great to hear your small group had plenty of time to explore each stop, learn about Fort Myers' fascinating history, and maybe even catch a little paranormal activity on camera! Thanks for recommending us. We'd love to have you back for another haunted adventure.
