I liked that the tour was inclusive. The tour shared the White and Black influence on music and movie culture.

The tour guide was a wealth of information. She rhymed off events, dates and personalities non stop throughout the tour. I enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to others.

Visiting Charlie's place was a high point with the history of Myrtle Beach's Black history. I have recommended the tour to family and friends.
