We are justifiably proud of our tour guides. Each has been chosen for his or her experience, whether as a tour guide, a public speaker or performer, a historian, or as a delightful combination of all the above. Each has been professionally trained to provide our valued guests with a history tour that is factual (as opposed to fantastical) and an experience that is both fun and educational.
Ladies and gentlemen, in their own words, let us introduce:
Seth Ford

I grew up very close to downtown Fort Myers on Jackson Street. My family has been in the Fort Myers area since the 1910s and in Florida since the 1850s.
I grew up fishing in the river downtown, playing music, and singing. I still do that often with my wife and daughter. We’re called the Shytunas. We play all over Lee County at ice cream shops, street corners, and for people waiting in lines.
My close personal knowledge of downtown and my love for my hometown shines through in my tours and makes the experience even better for our guests.

Joanne has been the “ghost writer” for True Tours since 2018 with her twice a week historical posts.Joanne is also a volunteer at the Southwest Florida Historical Society and her area of expertise is in researching old plats, rare maps and old houses.

Born and raised in Naples, Fl. Graduated naples high school and earned my associates degree from FSW.
I am fascinated by true crime and the paranormal. My love for dogs, babies, and all adorable things is a large part of my personality. Guiding these tours and meeting people who share similar interests is something I look forward to each and every tour.
I am a mother and step mother to two boys. My hobbies include painting, pop culture and watching all the movies and shows!
I was a stay at home mom for 4 years and now work as a barista in a small but busy cafe. Striving to soak in every moment and be in the present”

I love history and I’m an active member of the Fort Myers Historical Society.
In 2020 I started a small business cleaning headstones called the “The GraveMaid” and I spend all my spare time in cemeteries preserving history written in stone.
