Our Charleston based tour planner and staff at our Beaufort B and B raved about Janet's tour and how she brings the city of Beaufort and its magnificent homes and history to life. Unfortunately her delegate who gave us our tour on June 5 was UNACCEPTABLE. I believer we would have enjoyed our two hours more just walking around on our own. We learned more of Beaufort's history, houses and residents on our Dolphins Adventures Tour than we did with this replacement guide. There were only 4 of us on the tour and the guide spent the entire time talking with two phd child psychology students, a couple, trying to impress them with his knowledge of their field of study. He spent more time on this than talking about Beaufort. We traditionally love walking tours as it allows for engagement with the guide etc. We were ignored like we were not even on the tour zero engagement the exact opposite of every other one of our tours on our two week trip. . A church was unlocked for us to walk in. Unfortunately a number of others sauntered in the open door and we had to wait a good 15 minutes while the others moseyed around the interior used the bathroom (queued) etc. as our guide had to wait until they left. Because he had to lock up.

A golf cart tour is one of the best ways to cover a lot of ground and experience what Beaufort has…read moreto offer. We took the history and movies tour as part of a quick day trip into Beaufort. Parking was easy to find in the waterfront marina departure point. Raul led the tour, and did a decent job in covering the history of Beaufort and going over both history and architecture of homes in the area, as well as pointing out where some movies were filmed locally. I liked that the tour ventured out of the historic part of town to go to the Beaufort National Cemetery, as it's one of those places people visiting would otherwise likely skip out on. Overall, I'd rate the tour 4 stars, as I didn't like it as much as other Atlantic coastal town tours I've done in the past (Southport, for example), and this tour was a bit more expensive in comparison (but still worth it). I also thought it was a bit much to be told to leave a review by the guide, and also receive messages via both email and text message to review as well.

The horses are well cared for and if it gets too hot in the summer the tours are stopped. I'd recommend this tour while in Beaufort.

Learning about the town you visit is always important to us, so the tour was right up our alley. Very cool place and visitor center onsite offers loads of information about the area from things to do, places to see and great restaurants. I loved hearing about the history of Beaufort and if you want to learn something, this is definitely the place to go! It looks like a castle as you come down the street and the folks there are most welcoming. They can also schedule walking tours or golfcart tours for you for another time. Make sure you say hello to Jenny & Chris in the visitor center and tell Tom we've been talking about his tour since we got home! Thanks for a great tour!

The staff here is very knowledgeable and really knows their history and is able to answer just about any question you may have on the house and Beaufort. This was a great place to visit and I am glad that it exists for all to enjoy.

When I tried to explain I've already confirmed the tour 2 times she had no answer. Asia tried calling the manager Anjenette. Who offered no resolution to my problem. When I tried to call Viator who I booked the tour thru there was no resolution as well. Frustrated and angry !
