Trolley tour is terrific!!! - My friends and I went on the Movies, Music and History tour today. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it. So much information and history of Myrtle Beach and its impact on the cinematic and music scenes is provided. The trolley is very comfortable and climate controlled. You do get on and off the trolley at two stops and there is some walking involved. But if that can be a challenge for you then you can just remain on the trolley. Well worth it. Book your tour now. 🚃🚃

11th Anniversary Trip - This was an amazing history tour. It allows you to hear about the evolution of Myrtle Beach and the great things that have happened here. The Tour Guide was full of knowledge and she is a native of the city. The Bus driver is also a wealth of knowledge just from riding around... Loved ever minute of it.

Historic facts from a great storyteller - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Learning the history and events that have made MBSC what it is today gave us a greater appreciation for the area. Our guide was a great storyteller and had firsthand knowledge of some events going on in the city.

Great Experience - There is so much about Myrtle Beach that I did not know! It was very informative but I had to pick out one or two things that I was going to remember because it was information overload!

Movie and Music tour - Good tour. But we had signed up for history and was years which was not availble because not enough people. The tour guide did a good job explaining the movie era. But because the original building were gone all we saw were the current businesses
