Rachel was so sweet and enthusiastic. She had a lot of information and knowledge on fort Myers. I would book with her again.
The tour was awesome. Nicole is fabulous. She knows so much about the history of the town. She gives you back stories. She takes pride in knowing the facts about Ft. Myers. It was fun, interactive, informative. We took lots of pictures.
Nicole and Aura were wonderful guides on a beautiful night! Loved Nicole’s enthusiasm and knowledge of historical figures/dates/details.
The ghost tour was so fun Nicole our guide told stories about Florida and its backstory with natives and other people who helped build Fort Myers. The experience was an overall 10/10 when our guide pulled out an emf reader soon after that it spiked to five! She let us hold the emf and she gave us time to take photos and we even captured ghost orbs.
sky was awesome. despite a heavy rainstorm & a large group she did her best to keep us all wrangled in. her personality & friendliness went a long way! Sky was the best part of our tour
The tour was so fun!!! It was raining when we went and that helped to set a spooky mood. Nicole, our guide, was lovely and her dog made the tour all the more enjoyable. Other than ghost stuff, learning about the history of Fort Myers was eye opening. The tour was only about an hour long, but my group and I (only about 8 people) stopped at a lot of places along the way. Me and my sisters even caught a “ghost orb” on camera which was pretty cool. Overall 10/10, I would definitely recommend
Very informative tour. Nicole was great and knowledgeable about each spot as well as having shared her own experiences. Definitely thinking about coming back to Fort Meyers after this tour
