Great way to know local history

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. The tour guide and driver were absolutely wonderful as were the many places we visited. It showed us many wonderful places that we need to return to on our next trip to Myrtle Beach, as sadly this tour was at the end of our visit.

We were very mislead with this tour. We were hoping for a lot more ghost stuff on the tour and there was barely anything mentioned!! A story doesn't really make it a ghost tour!! Maybe advertise differently, we were very let down by this experience.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
I am crushed that you took my storytelling-centric, folklore and history tour thinking that it was something else. I want all of my guests to have a good experience like the other party on your tour who left the five-star review and the myriad of others who told me as they disembarked how much they enjoyed it. For anyone considering taking this tour, please know that literally a third of the commentary is dedicated to our most famous and lesser known ghosts in the region. You will hear the legends, the practices and rituals associated with those legends, their origin stories and eyewitness accounts. The other two-thirds of the commentary as conveyed in the name of the tour is about the pirates and historic families who were once here. You are taken on the trolley for a ½-hour ride south of Myrtle Beach to the area of Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island. We cover a lot of territory during the two-hour tour. I stress by using all capital letters in the tour’s description of where and what our three brief stops are so that there is no confusion. In addition, I tell everyone about the wonderful places in that area that guests may want to visit on their own in the future. To be clear, those places don’t ask me (and certainly don’t pay me) to tell you about them. I genuinely love going to them myself and hope that my guests will too.
Excellent tour

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very personable! Her stories were very interesting. The trolly was cool and comfortable, all in all a pleasant experience.

Excellent, informative, and professional tour guide! Very impressed! We learned more than we expected.
Great for history lovers. Needed more time in hammock shops

Local info was very interesting and helped you appreciate the families who helped maintain the area.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
I'm glad that you enjoyed the tour especially the Historic Pawleys Island Hammock Shops Village. The tour is a mere introduction to a myriad of wonderful places to visit in that part of the world. We cover a lot of territory in two hours and encourage our guests to return to their favorite places. Those places don't ask us to do that, I genuinely love the attractions that I mention and hope that our guests will too. For those considering taking this tour, please know that we only make 3 BRIEF stops. We hop off and on for only a FEW MINUTES. This is not the tour for you if want to spend time at attractions. You'll need to go back later for that, but you will get a lot of history and folklore during the tour.

I really enjoyed the stories and the stop at The Hammock Shop was my favorite. Plan to go back and spend some time there.
Thank you
Amazing stories!

The stories were amazing and full of local culture and history. I wish the stops were a little more to see and a little more interesting.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
I am so glad that you enjoyed what this tour is all about, our folklore and history. The three brief stops serve as a mere introduction to that wonderful part of the world a 1/2 hour and more south of Myrtle Beach. In this two-hour tour, we give you the information that you need to return to the area on your own and experience how amazing these places are on your own. It would take days to spend quality time at each of the locations you learn about on the tour. It is well worth it to come back again and again to visit them all. Thanks for being a part of our experience.
Great Experience!!

Excellent tour! Guide extremely knowledgeable.. would have liked a little bit longer time at aHammock shops
Response from Host , Oct 2021
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! I love sharing these stories. You're right. You can easily spend a day at the wonderful Pawleys Island Hammock Shops with their unique shopping, dining, and lovely location where they welcome you and your pets to even just walk around and relax. We pack a lot into the two-hour trolley ride when we take guests a 1/2-hour south of The Market Common in Myrtle Beach. Our three brief stops serve as merely an introduction to the places that have been dear to me all of my life. I do hope you and the others will be able to return to that area and spend the time all of those places deserve. It was a pleasure to have your group aboard and I hope you can join us in the future on our other three tours.
Great Experience

Fantastic overview of several top tourist locations with a whole lot of fascinating stories about the local ghost legends and historic famous families that made the area what it is slipped in between. Our tour guide was just wonderful, full of knowledge about anything you had a question about. She was raised in the area and her love for, and knowledge of, the area came thru as nothing short of pure passion. Just a delightful way to spend a morning and learn about the area.
The tour guide was very interesting

I thought the tour guide was outstanding! She was an excellent speaker and able to articulate her topic in a very interesting manner.
I do wish we could have expanded the tour by incorporating more stops...
Response from Host , May 2021
I am so glad that you enjoyed our folklore and history that I love to share. There is so much to see in that part of the world, you simply must go back when you have days to devote to the places that I had the pleasure of introducing you to. We, however, only have the two hours to get you from Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet and back along with the first stop to meet and get a demonstration from a recipient of our state's Folk Heritage Award who has been making our world famous hammocks for 30 years, and the second stop for a panoramic photo op where pirates would come 300 years ago. The trolley itself serves as your front row seat to the places of interest along the way that are the settings for the stories you hear that have been passed down through the generations.

Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
