Our guide, Inda, was FANTASTIC. Informative, pleasant, funny. A good blend of drive-by and stopping to go in. Booking was easy, departure right on time. Nice mini-bus. Highly recommended.

Hearing the Gullah language and the praise house visit was a great experience. Our tour guide Inda was awesome and did a wonderful job of sharing the history of the islands and the Geechie/Gullah culture.
