5.00This tour was absolutely amazing! We had done this tour 4 years ago and it has even gotten better. The stories and the history that they go through is so personal and fun to listen to. You end up seeing the entire historic district of Beaufort along with some other sites. It is one of the most fascinating southern towns I have ever seen. This is definitely the way to see the town. I would then recommend walking around after you have had the tour.
Wealth of Information

5.00Wow! We had an incredible tour guide named Tanya. I hate to admit it, but being from many states away, I did not know much at all about the history of Beaufort. Tanya was an absolute wealth of knowledge about the history of the city, even that that it was taken over by the Union during the Civil War. Harriet Tubman lived here during that time as well. Our family spanned in age from their early 20s to their early 80s, and all of us agreed that we learned so much. Thank you, Tanya, for providing so much information in such a short amount of time.
Worth it

5.00Wow I hit the jackpot on this tour. I arrived for my tour appointment to find out no one booked that day in the morning, my surprise was I was the only one to get a special solo tour. I had a great conversation with the gals from Beaufort City Bus Co before & after the tour. The bus ride was comfortable and the conversations were so cool. Didn’t realize how much history this beautiful town has had over the years. Recommend highly!
