I will definitely repeat this historical tour!

March 15, 2026

Ft. Myers history comes alive with intrigue, mystery, humor, and not-well-known city founders. This is not a tour about Edison or Ford. So many others contributed to its notable history. Gina will keep your attention with her excellent, inflective voice, and some of the risque stories! Enjoy a 90 minute walking tour which only seemed like an hour at most. I will definitely repeat this historical tour!

5 Stars – A Must-Do in Fort Myers!

February 6, 2026

The Haunted History Walking Tour in downtown Fort Myers is a perfect mix of spooky fun and fascinating history. Our guide was engaging, theatrical, and full of creepy local legends that brought the haunted past to life. Every stop felt like stepping into another era—with just the right amount of eerie atmosphere and historical depth.

Whether you’re a ghost hunter or just love a good story, this tour is unforgettable. You’ll laugh, shiver, and leave seeing Fort Myers in a whole new light.

I highly recommend the haunted history and the cemetery tours in fort myers!

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!

Incredible Haunted History Tour with Christopher Balzano!

February 6, 2026

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.
