5.00Took my two young daughters ages 7 and 8 on this tour on Sunday. Tyler was an excellent guide. She was very informative, personable, and my girls thought she was funny. Especially the part where she told us that sh reads the trip advisor reviews to the horses in her spare time. My girls had soo much fun that they asked if we could go again when they cone back to my house in two weeks. Sincerely, the meta glasses dad.

5.00Charlotte and Wyatt made a great team taking us around historic Beaufort. Charlotte was exuberant and witty while sharing her knowledge of her hometown’s history. And Wyatt was unfazed by motor vehicles, humans and dogs alike as he led us along the streets of Beaufort. This tour is a great way for first time visitors to gain a real appreciation for this lovely southern town.
Excellent experience!

5.00We do this tour every couple of years and love it every time! Steve our horse was a handsome boy with an amazing work ethic! It was obvious he loves his job and all the treats he gets afterwards. Tyler was a fantastic tour guide who gave us a great tour of the various sites and narrated it in a fun and refreshing way! My aged parents had a great time and found the carriage quite comfortable and smooth. We will be back in the future. True southern hospitality. Thanks!
