“Although, we started 15-20 minutes late, the information shared was interesting, the stops were enlightening and the lunch was delicious. The orator at the Second African Baptist church as well informed and relatable. That tour was enjoyable. Ms. Pat is a very good “truth” teller and our van driver was a joy. Roz was a great addition. We were a bit disappointed as we were hoping to travel to the Gullah community and enjoy a Gullah meal. A very good tour! Highly recommend it!!”
