Really enjoyed learning some history of Myrtle Beach. The stop at Charlie's Place was my favorite part. Katherine was great providing many interesting stories.

Coach was uncomfortable, seats were hard. Everything that the narrator talked about, except for one, is no longer there. A lot of "there used to be"s and "the city knocked it down," The best part was Charley's Place, where many 50's and 60's famous music groups played. The actual venue wasn't there, but Charley's house was.

What a fun way to spend the morning. Very accommodating to my mom who was with us (91) with a walker. The driver helped her on and off and couldn’t have been nicer. The guide Kathryn was so knowledgeable about everything Myrtle beach! Love learning history of an area we are visiting and this was such a great way to learn all sorts of tidbits. We all highly recommend taking this tour. We will surely take one of the other 2 next time we are here. Even got a great book included! Thank you for everything
