Seth did a great job of the History and how Ft. Myers developed from a one horse town to what you can see today. The History of each character and the building or street, made for an interesting 90 minutes. As an added bonus, Seth recognized Eric Larson as he walked by our tour. Eric was in town for an Authors symposium, so I hot footed it to the Library to catch the tale end of three authors talking and 75 minutes of Eric Larson, one of my favorite authors. He wrote "The Devil In White City " and 4 others. Eric was there to promote his latest book. Seth has an encyclopedic memory for the area, you could tell he loves his job and he is very entertaining.

Seth led a very fun and informative walk over several blocks of the historical downtown area. He was funny and knew his info extremely well, often working in some personal background. He wore a mike, which was much appreciated by some of us "older" folk and chose shady areas when he wanted us to stop to listen for a spell. The 90 minutes went quickly and I would highly recommend the tour to all who are interested in finding out a little more of the history of the beautiful city of Ft. Myers.

Stories of the Stones Cemetery Tour- The historical cemetery tour in Ft. Myers was not just a stroll among tombstones; it was a fascinating journey through the lives of some truly remarkable women who helped shape the history of this community. Our guide Bre was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the stories of these strong women.
I appreciated the attention to detail and the depth of information provided. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to absorb the history without feeling rushed.
Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the hidden gems in the community, this cemetery tour is a must-visit. It left me with a newfound appreciation for the strong women who paved the way, and I'll definitely be recommending it to friends and family.

Seth presented his Armchair Tour at Fountain Crest Retirement Community today, 3/13. Our group really enjoyed his personal stories, slide and history of Fort Myers and the families that built the town and area. A great way to learn from a local what built this town! Would recommend this to any group, senior independent living group or group looking for a fun personal experience.

We enjoyed our walking tour of Downtown Fort Myers with Seth. He was very entertaining and kept us engaged as we walked the town, learning about all the brave folks who came here to settle in 1850's and on. Seth spoke loud enough, with a mike. Thats a BIG deal to seniors. Learn where many of the streets get their name, and why EDISON, isn't the only important man in this area.

Very organized and interesting. Making and changing reservations was easy and the staff was very accommodating. Not too long or too short. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Our tour guide was friendly with a sense of humor and did his homework. Very knowelable.

Seth was an excellent tour guide. I strongly recommend this tour when you visit Fort Myers. I’ve been a snowbird here for 25 years & never took a tour of the historic downtown. It took a guest visiting me to book this tour!

I’ve been on this tour before but this one was exceptional…and the reason is …our guide! Amanda was so knowledgeable and interesting. She made the tour not only informative but entertaining. If you decide to do the walking tour of Ft Myers, I hope you’re able to join Amanda for a truly enjoyable time.

The fort myers history tour was very informative. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. He grew up here so had a lot of good stories and history. He also told many jokes and kept it engaging. One of the best town history tours I’ve been on. The tour guide was Seth.

Can just show up and pay and go on the tour?

No, they limit the number of people on each tour to make it enjoyable for all; therefore, reservations are required.
