“Inda, Like Linda without the L” - A “MUST DO” tour! The guide explains that her name is “Inda”, “YES, she says, like “Linda, without the L”. The 3 hour air conditioned small and comfortable bus ride has stops to stretch legs and experience historic sites and at the National Park Penn Center a bathroom break if needed. The most educational and entertaining 180 minutes of our lives (and yours) is passionately and preciously delivered by Inda. A talented beyond words keeper and conveyor of her heritage that must be seen, heard and joyfully cherished to fully understand.

Phenomenal & Informative - This tour was phenomenal primarily due to our tour guide, Indya. She was amazing at providing the historical details in storyteller, engaging nay rrative. I was fascinated by history of Beaufort that was unknown to me. I felt fortunate to learn it from the Gullah Geechee perspective and to be immersed in the culture. It was more than a historical experience, it was a spiritual experience too.
