This is a definite go to if you have any interest in the history of FMB [Fort Meyers Beach]....you learn terribly ingenious the Calusa indians were and how they used everything that nature provided and wasted nothing.....it's only 1 hr long, and you give a donation.....interesting, great tour guides....interesting for young and old alike.
