I've been coming to Myrtle Beach for many years. The trolley ride educated me about Myrtle Beach on some very interesting history. Everywhere we went was relaxing and a learning experience. Our guide and driver were very professional. Our guide was funny and energetic and from SC so she was very knowledgeable on Myrtle Beach's history. The trolley was very nice, enclosed with large windows and had air conditioned.
