Excellent tour guide - We returned to take a different themed trolley from the same operator because we were so impressed with our first tour. The narrator did not disappoint and were again impressed with her wealth of knowledge which flowed effortlessly for over two hours. The second tour was entirely different from the first which also impressed us. This is a must do if you are in Myrtle beach.

Great fun and informative - This is a first class activity for anyone. We have done the Movies and Music tour in the past and this one was just as good.

Fun, informative tour... - Fun, informative tour with articulate, enthusiastic and engaging guide. If you think Myrtle Beach has always been just a tourist town you'll quickly learn otherwise.

A tour that should not be missed when in Mrytle Beach - We enjoyed our tour with Catherine as she was so informed but added a bit of humor. She made sure to speak clearly and slowly enough for everyone to hear.

The beginnings of Myrtle beach! - A diamond in the rough tour! We’ve gone to Myrtle Beach for years and never knew the history of this wonderful place! Touring the area we know, with fresh eyes on its history was awesome! Kathryn our tour guide was so invested in the area history and did a phenomenal job welcoming visitors and guiding us through the creation of Myrtle Beach! Highly recommend this tour!

Very knowledgeable tour... - Very knowledgeable tour guide. Learned quite a bit about the Myrtle Beach area history. Space in the trolly car was really tight but we were forewarned about that.
