Kathryn is a wonderful storyteller. She was entertaining and informative. It was apparent she loves the area, and is well versed in its history.

I am so glad that you enjoyed it. Yes, I do love this area and sharing the stories that I grew up with. It was a pleasure to have you aboard and we hope you can join us again on the other tours. Thank you for your sweet words.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, maybe too much so. She told a ton of stories, at such a fast pace that at times it was difficult to follow along. The seats are rather small and a very obese man decided to share my seat, essentially squeezing me in against the window. The 3 stops are very short, so I was barely able to get enough time to walk and stretch before being seated again. The first stop was 5 minutes at the cottage in Brookgreen. Second stop was 15 minutes at a hammock shop that doubled as restroom break. I found it kinda random and disconnected that we stopped to see a hammock making demonstration. Kinda odd. Third stop was 5 minutes at a panoramic overlook. There wasn’t any time given at any stop for any shopping, eating, or free time. By the end of the tour, most of us were overloaded, exhausted and glad it was over. I was glad to not be seated next to that man any longer.

I am so sorry that this was not the tour for you and that it wasn’t what you were hoping for. I stress in the description that if you are looking for a tour that spends time at local attractions, do not take this one. In two hours we travel out of the county and you will hear a wealth of folklore and historical stories of our region. I will also introduce you to all sorts of the wonderful places that you might want to come back to when you have the time to spend at them. I hope the rest of your stay in Myrtle Beach was enjoyable.

Was great thank you. A little too many folks on the bus. Katherine and Rose were very helpful - appreciate Katherine sharing her knowledge & stories with my adult family members.
