River District History Tour – Luminary Hotel
Fort Myers’ historic downtown area was once the site of a Seminole and then a Civil War fort!
From fort to dusty cattle town to the building boom of the Roaring Twenties, from depression to post-WWII prosperity to urban decay, and ultimately to its modern incarnation as one of the most beautiful historic districts in Florida, Fort Myers is a town rich in history, architecture, art and amenities. On this 90-minute tour, you will learn your way around not only this charming town, but also around the intrigues and rivalries of the men who built it. It’s a fascinating journey. Have you heard about the True Tours Fan Club? Each tour with us includes a souvenir cardboard fan that’s your ticket to discounts on your purchase of services or merchandise at local establishments.
