Super impressive - I am not a native but I have been here 30 years. Yet I learned many things about Myrtle Beach that I didn't know and saw many places I had never been. Our guide Kathryn was amazing and I plan to do all the other tours. One thing, bring a jacket as the trolley was chilly!

Outstanding historical tour of Myrtle Beach - very informative and enjoyable - Immaculate trolley - outstanding tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable. Very detailed and interesting military historical tour of Myrtle Beach - as well as wonderful trip to Black museum which was a bonus! Humbling to learn the black educational history of Myrtle Beach area, taking place in the original one room school house that was used for many years.

Interesting - Learning about German pow camp. Visit to the colored school. I found it interesting that the first issue of sports illustrated was printed in myrtle beach and cost 25 cents.

WWII Tour - The tour guide should get a high rating for her extensive history of Myrtle Beach. Perhaps more general would be acceptable also, to enable perhaps another 15 minutes to explore “The Colored School” with its rich AfricanAmerican history. The day is very hot, increasingly so. Many people on the tour were senior citizens. Many with it’s chronc health conditions. Not acceptable that the windows were opened at beginning of tour-made the bus hotter. The AC was only blowing hot air. Oppressive. It was mentioned “we’ll adjust the temperature as we go along.” That did not happen. It only got hotter. Had we known this we would not have gone on this tour. It is enough to make one ill actually.
