Great tour, highly recommend Karen!

Mary_D, Mar 2024

We especially liked the National cemetery. We had been on quite a few carriage tours but understandably they didn’t go that far. Our guide Karen, taught us new things we hadn’t heard before.

Great tour

Flo_B, Mar 2024

Karen did a good job of showing us the many beautiful homes on the tour. She mentioned interesting things about the various homes and some of the history.

Awesome tour!

We booked this to get to see and learn about the area. We ended up getting a GREAT tour! Our guide, Cathy, was absolutely wonderful! She was fun, knowledgeable and provided a great experience for us! The weather was perfect so the golf cart was a fun way to get around and see everything! Would totally recommend this to those that want to learn some history of the area, the movies that were filmed in the area and see the beautiful homes!

A must do!!

Lawrence, our Tour Guide was spectacular. To say he has a complete understanding of Beaufort and it's history is an understatement. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly!

Exceptional tour

Lorraine_S, Feb 2024

Janet’s knowledge and passion for the history of Beaufort and the stories were very interesting. The story she told about the cast of Glory honoring a Civil War soldier was especially touching.

Fun little tour!

I thought is was interesting that the golf cart quit on us at the "haunted" castle!🧐😊 The whole tour was interesting and fun.
