      Great trip!! Our guide Mr. Al Miller was wonderful, learned so much about the Gullah/Geechee culture. The International African American Museum was very educational although for me a little heart-wrenching at times. Enjoyed lunch on the waterfront also. Thanks Capitol Tours for the trip!

      We had a wonderful time. Lunch at the Wilcox was delicious as always and the show was fantastic. Enjoyed meeting and making new friends. Capitol Tours staff treat everyone like family which adds to our enjoyment.
