Myrtle Beach Area Ghosts, Pirates and Historic Families Trolley Tour

Overview

Take a half-hour ride south of Myrtle Beach on a climate-controlled trolley to the fishing community of Murrells Inlet, SC, and beyond.

Very knowledgeable guide. Really knew stories very well. This gives you ideas of places to visit on days you don't want to go to Beach. Or if you'd rather visit historical sites.

Fantastic overview of several top tourist locations with a whole lot of fascinating stories about the local ghost legends and historic famous families that made the area what it is slipped in between. Our tour guide was just wonderful, full of knowledge about anything you had a question about. She was raised in the area and her love for, and knowledge of, the area came thru as nothing short of pure passion. Just a delightful way to spend a morning and learn about the area.

Thank you so much! I do love these places and these stories. I grew up listening to tales of our local folklore from the area's best storytellers, many of whom are no longer with us. It is my honor to, if only in a small way, carry on their legacy.
