About this tour
Discover the military history woven into Myrtle Beach’s Market Common district on a Myrtle Beach Military History Trolley Tour. This area once served as Myrtle Beach Air Force Base and an Army Air Corps airfield during World War II, and it also housed a German POW camp.
The narrated trolley ride lasts one hour and makes three stops. At Warbird Park, see military aircraft displayed outdoors. Visit the Gen. Robert H. Reed Recreation Center, home to a small military museum, then explore military memorabilia at the Norton General Aviation Terminal. The enclosed, climate-controlled trolley offers a comfortable way to take in the district’s history.
Guests are divided into two groups, with each enjoying a catered reception and historical presentation at Tupelo Honey either before or after the ride. The talk is given by a historical figure who helped shape the history of the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. Recognized by the local county board of historic preservation, this Myrtle Beach Military History Trolley Tour brings the past into view at every stop. Reserve your place and experience a distinctive chapter of Myrtle Beach history.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Myrtle Beach
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 15% in Myrtle Beach means it ranks in the top 15% of tours in Myrtle Beach by this score.
