Wonderful. Everything went well and our guide, Inda, was superb—sense of humor, knowledgeable about the Gullah culture, answered questions, and displayed a relaxed and affable demeanor! Highly recommend this activity. She and our driver worked well together.

our guide was superb. She was relatable, well versed in knowledge of the Gullah culture and very entertaining. Our tour was well worth the investment not just for the historical information but it became an intimate experience due largely to the presentation of our guide.

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Inda, was informative, entertaining, and relaxed. I never felt rushed with my looking around. The places we went were interesting and made me want to know more. I wish there was a Gullah Heritage Tour Part 2.
