Comfortable trolly car, knowledgeable tour guide, great tour of the city in addition to learning about the history of the region. Disappointing that the German POWs were so embraced by the community considering what made them POWs in the first place!!

Thank you so much for being a part of this experience and hearing about our diverse history that is reflective of what was going on across the nation in the first half of the 20th Century. On our Myrtle Beach History, Movies and Music tour, we take guests to Charlie's Place and share even more about the Fitzgeralds' impact. It was wonderful to have you aboard.
