The breath of knowledge and the way the tour guide told you the history. A most memorable moment. I give it 5 stars. The trip could have been 1 hour more at least. I was expecting nice weather and a little history. However, I was spellbound by the time she finished. The entire experience was great and checked off all the boxes. This tour is the only way to learn about Myrtle Beach.
Great trolley tour

The tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. The trolley was cold even with the 90+ degree July weather. 10/10 recommend. We will be doing another tour next year!

Kathryn is a wonderful storyteller. She was entertaining and informative. It was apparent she loves the area, and is well versed in its history.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, maybe too much so. She told a ton of stories, at such a fast pace that at times it was difficult to follow along. The seats are rather small and a very obese man decided to share my seat, essentially squeezing me in against the window. The 3 stops are very short, so I was barely able to get enough time to walk and stretch before being seated again. The first stop was 5 minutes at the cottage in Brookgreen. Second stop was 15 minutes at a hammock shop that doubled as restroom break. I found it kinda random and disconnected that we stopped to see a hammock making demonstration. Kinda odd. Third stop was 5 minutes at a panoramic overlook. There wasn’t any time given at any stop for any shopping, eating, or free time. By the end of the tour, most of us were overloaded, exhausted and glad it was over. I was glad to not be seated next to that man any longer.
Fun
