We were in Myrtle Beach for the week of Christmas and were looking for something to do. We have used this company before while visiting Alaska. We found this historical trolley tour. It was FANTASTIC!!!! Our tour guide, Katherine, was absolutely amazing (we joked amongst our party that we would love to spend the day with her going all around the town listening to all of the history that is hidden in her brain). She was so well spoken, a wealth of knowledge and overall just a friendly and professional tour guide! Highly recommend this tour if you are in the area and enjoy history.

This means the world to me. Thank you so much. Please, when you are here again, I would love to share my other three tours with you. And, if it were at all possible, it would be fantastic if you could join me for the one-time-only, six-hour motorcoach tour and buffet on 6/8/24, that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the arrival of German POWs in Myrtle Beach. I have a lot more to tell about them.
