This tour was simply wonderful and truly informative. Our guide Kathryn was the best. Her enthusiasm made the trip worthwhile. We even went around to a few of the stops on our own. It was totally worth taking the trip.

This is a fantastic tour. Well organized. One of the best features is visiting the store where local historian gave a brief talk & free signed booklet on history of Myrtle Beach.
