Absolutely Fun and Spooky Haunted History Tour!

February 6, 2026

I had an absolute blast on the Haunted History Tour! Our tour guide was well educated and entertaining! Learning about all the local haunts made me fall in love with downtown Ft. Myers even more! If you are a local, or just visiting, I would highly recommend taking a tour with True Tours!

Fascinating Historic Walking Tour with Local Expert Seth!

February 6, 2026

The Historic Walking Tour of Ft. Myers proved to be an enriching and enjoyable experience, thanks to the exceptional guidance of Seth, a true local expert. Being born and raised in the town, Seth brought the history of the river district to life through his engaging personal stories. I gained interesting insights into the early days of Fort Myers and the individuals who played pivotal roles in the town’s growth. Seth’s ability to uncover the hidden history beneath each building and the very bricks on the street made this tour a fascinating journey into the heart of Fort Myers’ past. It’s a must-take tour, combining education with the charm of a personable guide like Seth.

Perfect Blend of History, Spooks, and Fun!

February 6, 2026

Loved, loved, loved my tour! Perfect blend of Historical knowledge and lore as well as struck a great balance between spooky and humor to keep it light and engaging. I want to give massive Kudos to Chris Balzano who made sure our group was safe and engaged even with a few member needing accessibility accommodations like a cane and walker. He stopped at places with seating, fans, benches and lower traffic so it’s a safe activity for the entire family. I can’t speak highly enough of the team everything from checking in to departure was spot on and you end the tour with a great set of pictures which are highly encouraged on the tour. Fort Myers is a beautiful city a colorful history of colonialism, pirates, forts, wars, and Native American battles that make it a prime location to go exploring!

We had a fantastic experience with True Tours. Our guide, Christopher Balzano, was incredible. Even with the Halloween chaos in Downtown Fort Myers, he kept everyone engaged with his great storytelling, humor, and deep knowledge of the city’s haunted history.

Epic Storytelling and Spooky History in Downtown Ft. Myers!

February 6, 2026

We had a great time on the tour and really enjoyed the history, along with the ghostly opportunities! It was a perfect length and distance, and a good way to see downtown Ft. Myers. Christopher’s storytelling is epic, and adding his personal experiences from previous tours made it all the more interesting (and creepy!). I’ve already recommended it to our friends as a great way to revisit the downtown area and get some great historical facts and mysteries, too! A wonderful way to finish off the evening after dinner.
