Been visiting Myrtle Beach for over 45 years and learning so much new info during this tour. Very entertaining and the time on the tour flew by. Will definitely do again and other tours offered by same company.

It is such a pleasure to share our history with guests who know Myrtle Beach well. Many people have never been to the Pine Lakes Country Club or even know that the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum exists. Thank you for including this experience during your time here and it be great to have you on any of the other three tours.

This tour was fantastic but more so because of Katherine Hedgpath, the tour guide. She made it extremely interesting and worthwhile. Hearing the information gives you a better understanding and perspective of how things were. The two stops were interesting but I thoroughly enjoyed the stop at the new location of the Myrtle Beach Colored School and Museum. Definitely a most return spot to appreciate it all. I readily suggest this tour for anyone who is interested in history. Great job Katherine and thanks Tom for the great ride! Hope to see you on the next tour.
