5.00Fort Myers through history. Our guide, Gina, took a group of about 20 of us on an historic tour of Fort Myers, full of great highlights and colorful stories. She has a wealth of knowledge and was an expert tour guide. It was a warm morning, but she found shade for us as much as possible. Very informative.
