- The tour brought to life the real Myrtle Beach. The narrator lived their her whole life. She did extensive research for the two hour tour. The two hour tour truly excited me to with its color, music and movie history. I could enjoy this trolley ride again with this incredibly knowledgeable guide who genuinely loves her Myrtle Beach. The trolley was comfortable and air conditioned. The driver was skilled and friendly. Well worth your time and dollars.
