Good tour, speaker well versed,,,, I was present with daughter age 41. She complained about not knowing 90% of people Speaker referenced… She dosed off during presentation. On the other hand, being 77 years I recognized most all Speaker identified… overall too limited on tours with general information for tourist so we may return for in-depth information….

This particular tour tends to appeal to history, movie and music buffs of all ages. It references legends in their respective fields and describes lesser known figures who are key to Myrtle Beach's history. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Charlie's place was the best but also enjoyed all the interesting history we learned. Was amazed at how Myrtle Beach was a major factor in shaping our music history.

Our tour guide was so good! So knowledgeable, interesting, loved the personal anecdotes of a local. Appreciative she wore face shield. (We’ve lost 6 family and friends from covid - were hesitant to travel). Glad she and others are encouraging saving and learning more Myrtle Beach history.

Having you aboard was an honor, and in the wake of so much personal heartbreak. Thank you for being a part of this experience. I am so sorry that you and your loved ones have been through such loss.
