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. Hear the quintessential ghost stories that locals have grown up with, background on the pirates who were said to have frequented the local shores 300 years ago, and historical commentary on the influential families who lived in the area and helped shape our nation's history. IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SPEND TIME AT AREA ATTRACTIONS, THIS IS NOT THE TOUR FOR YOU. This 2-hour narrated tour serves as an introduction to wonderful places that we will be passing by that you'll want to come back and visit. BRIEF STOPS, where passengers will hop off for just a FEW MINUTES, include The Pawleys Island Hammock Shops Village and at a photo-worthy overlook in Murrells Inlet. Board at 9:45 AM in front of the Grand 14 Theater at The Market Common. GUESTS MUST BE AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD FOR THIS TOUR. It is best that you book prior to the Monday before your desired tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, the pace was perfect, and the trolley temperature was very comfortable. The pick area was perfect and offered free parking with plenty of lunch options within walking distance after your tour. I highly recommend!

It delights me to no end that you enjoyed both the tour and The Market Common. I began creating my four tours as special events in 2017 for The Market Common when I worked for them. Now I offer the tours full-time, but chose to continue to run them from The Market Common for just the reasons you said: ample free parking and a variety of great restaurants for lunch afterwards (the shopping is nice too...and it's really quite pretty, Myrtle Beach's hidden gem). I encourage everyone to keep the fun going after the tour and make a day/afternoon of it there.

I thought the tour guide was outstanding! She was an excellent speaker and able to articulate her topic in a very interesting manner. I do wish we could have expanded the tour by incorporating more stops...

I am so glad that you enjoyed our folklore and history that I love to share. There is so much to see in that part of the world, you simply must go back when you have days to devote to the places that I had the pleasure of introducing you to. We, however, only have the two hours to get you from Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet and back along with the first stop to meet and get a demonstration from a recipient of our state's Folk Heritage Award who has been making our world famous hammocks for 30 years, and the second stop for a panoramic photo op where pirates would come 300 years ago. The trolley itself serves as your front row seat to the places of interest along the way that are the settings for the stories you hear that have been passed down through the generations.

My nephew and I took this tour to today and absolutely enjoyed listening to the narrator give information about the ghosts and pirates. Purpose of the tour is to interest you on things to do and see and it was great. The few short stops serve to want to return and see the places at your leisure. Totally worked for us so much so we want to return. Kathryn is awesome, informative and fun to listen to.

It was such a pleasure to have you on this tour. I've loved these stories since I was a small child and really appreciate the opportunity to have shared them with you.
