Was great meeting showed round by Charlotte, who was clearly so proud of her heritage. She presented the trip with humour and was very interesting. Wyatt (the horse) was amazing.

We really enjoyed the tour. We learned quite a bit about their town history. It was an awesome experience to see all the historic homes and buildings. Very beautiful town.

This was a nice ride through Beaufort with a driver who gave us an entertaining narrative of what we were seeing mixed with some history and humor.

It is definitely worth your time and you will also learn something. The homes are beautiful and are not something you see every day.
