Awesome Geechie/Gullah Heritage Tour - 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.

Gullah history - This is a very interesting tour. Our guide Inda was knowledgeable and fun! It really helped to be on an air conditioned mini bus on a hot summer day!

A lesson in history mixed with humor - The guide was a wealth of information and history. Presented with humor. I really enjoyed the experience of the praise house. I learned something new at every stop. I would have loved to try some of the red rice she described.

Well worth it! - Surprised my Mom with this tour for her birthday. She was delighted, and is already planning to return for the Gullah Festival. Our guide, Dean, was clearly passionate and very well read. He was a fountain of information and even led the group in a singing of Happy Birthday for Mom, she was quite touched. Would certainly recommend.
