Naples Walking Tours

We’ve done walking tours many places but Tom Poe stands out, He is a knowledgeable local who grew up in Naples and you even walk by his old house. Tom knows the history and little nuggets that make the tour really fun. He even knows what the inside of some houses look like. We had a terrific 2 hours with Tom and strongly recommend this to anyone who wants a better insight into this fascinating area. Bravo Tom!!!

Last week, we met Tom Poe at the Naples fountain for a walking tour of the area. He was waiting on the bench for us, with a notebook in his hand filled with old photographs and maps. He told us about the hotel which was once located (and showed us the photos), where the condominiums now stand. I had heard about the old hotel, but had no idea that no one every stayed in it. I was also aware that The Colonnade once was a waterway, but I had never knew that there was a fine restaurant (serving alcohol when it was not available most places) where one of the houses now stands. I could go on and on about all the interesting things we learned from Tom. He was well-​spoken, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make our walk pleasant and leisurely. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or living in the vicinity of Naples.

We took the tour of Naples with Tom. He did an excellent job telling us the history & charming personal stories. As many times as we have strolled through the canals we knew there were back stories and Tom reopened our eyes to the magic of Naples again. Time & energy well spent. Highly recommended! And the tour is wheelchair friendly.

Strolling through Naples at twilight is never a bad thing. Tom Poe is a wealth of Naples knowledge. His first hand memories combined with his well-​researched facts made this two hour tour fly by. I’ve always found Naples to be a magical place and the history Tom shared on this tour only added to those feelings I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour with Tom Poe. Tom grew up in Naples and had so much history to share. Went on a sunset tour and it was beautiful weather. Started at the Fountain and walked the canals viewing the beautiful properties while learning about the history of how Naples came to be. Would recommend the tour to locals and out of towners! Thank you Tom. See you during the holidays for your holiday lights tour!

Just finished an afternoon tour with Tim Poe. A great, intimate way to learn the history of a very interesting and beautiful neighborhood. Tom had lots of personal insights and his childhood memories really brought the tour to life. I would highly recommend this walking tour.

Great two hours with Mr. Poe. He was a long time resident so he knows the area. It was great to walk along with him as he talked and he shared photos from his binder and pointed to locations with tidbits of information… We shared some of our tour knowledge with our Long Beach cousins and they hated to miss it even though we had invited them to come along… Great way to spend a late afternoon and then eat dinner nearby on 2^nd street.

If you have never experienced and beauty of Naples and want to learn the history, stories, and facts of this gem of a community, you need to take the Naples Walking Tour with Tom. Tom is very knowledgeable and very personable and friendly. Whether you are just visiting or simply want to experience some great family fun, check out Naples Walking Tours.

Definitely worth the time to take this fun walking tour. I learned a lot about the Naples Culture from the 1950s forward. From the scandalous murder to finding where the rich and famous live to the new bearing walls and flower gardens… definitely fun. It’s an easy mostly level stroll with lots of photo opportunities and stops for local lore.

Tom did a great job giving us a comprehensive tour of this beautiful area!
He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a very good presenter!
Highly recommended.

Took a tour with Tom this past weekend and had a great time. Didn’t know it when I booked, but Tom’s family was the one with the rollercoaster that was displayed at Christmas time on the interior island for several decades that numerous generations of people enjoyed over the years. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Naples and really loves the area. Tour was just shy of 2 hours and the weather was perfect. I highly recommend this if you love Naples and are looking for something different to do.

Having recently moved back to Long Beach, I noticed and advertisement on a Naples Walking Tour. I delighted on going because I love to walk and it gave me a chance to get re-​aquainted with the neighborhood along with learning some history I never knew about. Enjoying photography, I was able to capture a few great photos along the way as the sun was setting. For something different to do, I recommend this tour as it was refreshing, serene and Tom Poe, the tour guide, is obviously knowledgeable about the area. Enjoy!
