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.

Our narrator knew her stuff, had good information and was great at telling the story. The trolly was clean, temperature controlled and kinda neat. What was disappointing was the tour... most places in the stories are long gone and the narrator just pointed in a direction of where things used to be. There is one old original house and we just stopped on the road and looked in that direction. We stopped at a historic club house at a golf course that was very pretty. We also stopped at a very small museum that was neat but so many of us in a small space made it hard to look at displays.

This tour takes you on a deeper dive into Myrtle Beach history, as the description states, if you already have a general knowledge of Myrtle Beach history. Our Tuesday tour relates more to what is here now and this tour tells the story of what used to be here in the last century. As suggested in the tour description, you may prefer the Tuesday tour. Thanks for your kind words. I pour my heart and soul into these tours that I created to share my hometown's stories.
