I went on the tour with my family, I work downtown and I was so fascinated to learn the history! Our tour guide was Gina and she was amazing! You can tell she is very knowledgeable and passionate about everything she talks about! I would encourage more locals to take the tour!! ❤️

We had such a wonderful time during this tour. It was educational and Gina was so sweet and her passion for preserving the historic parts of Fort Myers is truly admirable. Not all heroes wear capes and the way she has spent so much of her life dedicated to the cause of preserving history is just heroic. Downtown Fort Myers is fantastic and more locals need to check this out!!

When our daughters came to visit us in Fort Myers, and the Historic Walking Tour for Thursday had been completely subscribed by a tour group, owner Gina Taylor agreed to take the four of us on a private tour. Ms. Taylor is passionately devoted to the preservation of the historic district, and her enthusiasm comes across in her presentation of the history of our town. Both visitors and residents should take advantage of this educational and entertaining resource.
