The toutwas great, but TripAdvisor is absolutely horrible!!! thanks to their mistakes in their email communications, we arrived an hour and a half early !Iwill.NEVER DEAL WITH TRIP ADVISOR AGAIN!! there was no telephone number, or any recourse available with TripAdvisor. Fortunately, the true owner of the tour answered her phone on Sunday and help to work things out. You are off of my radar screen forever.!!
Wonderful activity to learn the History of Fort Myers while walking through the city. Enjoy the sites.

Fort Myers through history. Our guide, Gina, took a group of about 20 of us on an historic tour of Fort Myers, full of great highlights and colorful stories. She has a wealth of knowledge and was an expert tour guide. It was a warm morning, but she found shade for us as much as possible. Very informative.
