“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.

Excellent Tour! - Led by the amazing narrator Inda, this tour provides a fascinating insight into Gullah customs and culture. Worth every penny, listening to Inda tell the story of her ancestors is the tour highlight. Highly recommend. Two things of note: this 3-hour tour has one bathroom break. Second, Inda’s voice is quite loud, so my husband sat in the back of the bus and wore earplugs because he’s sensitive to loud noises.
