We loved this tour. Tyler was a great guide and driver. She had a relationship with Lincoln, our horse, that was admirable, qnd she reassured us that he was well cared for. She knew a great deal about the places we passed, including the "angel trees".
Fascinating Historical Tour

Our driver and tour guide was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed his historical narration. Clydesdale horse Mick Jagger was pretty great, too! Highly recommend this Beaufort experience.

Love love love this tour. We drove a little over an hour to Beaufort. Well worth the drive. This town is full of history and charm. Angus (the horse) was the best chauffeur and the guide (Liz) was experienced and full of knowledge. I was surprised to hear about so much history in this town. The houses were gorgeous and had interesting stories. We would recommend this tour to anyone.

Our guide, Jennifer, and her trusty steed, Justin, were an absolute delight. We enjoyed hearing the history of the island by horse & carriage (especially from a local resident) and found their interactions to be compassionate and kindred.I worry sometimes about bringing my daughter to attractions that feature animals, but you could absolutely sense that Jennifer cared deeply for Justin, and that Justin was a happy/healthy horse.Jennifer was incredibly knowledgeable/personable and possessed excellent public speaking/delivery skills. You could tell she genuinely cared about history and the local lore that makes Beaufort special. THANK YOU!

The horses were a joy. Our tour guide was sweet and knowledgeable & spoke up so we could hear. The stairs to enter the carriage were helpful. I wish we would have been placed forward in the cart since we made reservations in advance. The weather was moderate and breezy and was perfect for the tour.

Sam was so knowledgeable and used every minute to keep us informed. She also handled Angis the horse very well!

We really enjoyed the tour. It was done at a leisurely pace riding through beautiful neighborhoods, and the narration given of the "lives" of these houses, their owners past and present and the history of Beaufort was both entertaining and informative. We've been to Beaufort before but this tour has enhanced our appreciation and knowledge of this little gem of a city. Highly recommended.

This was definitely one of my favorite tours I’ve been on. The southern charm of Beaufort is unmatched, especially in the historic sections. Passing rows of quaint, picturesque homes with centuries of history inside, while under a canopy of Spanish moss is something special. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our horse was super cute too!
