5.00Aboard a comfortable minibus with plenty of glass for full views (even the roof!), we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of beautiful, historic Beaufort, SC. Our guide, Heather, was funny and engaging as well as very knowledgeable regarding Beaufort and American history, bringing it to life. Tidbits of trivia about the many movies filmed there added to the entertainment. Being a rainy day, this was a most delightful way to tour! Had we toured on our own, we'd never have known all the incredible details of this town and its part in our history.
Best tour in Buford, South Carolina

3.00I am hard of hearing, so it was difficult for me to hear everything, but it was my own fault. Not the fault of the presenter. Actually, the presenter was excellent. The tour was excellent as we saw many many interesting things.

5.00What an amazing and rich story we were told by experts on this Kelly tour! Our guide was caring and helpful from the first moment, and her stories, especially about Robert Smalls, and separately, the Glory movie were inspiring. Her tails of Barbara Streisand and Tom Hanks were neat, and the time we spent touring the tragic national cemetery, and hearing of the hospitals and the 3000 unknown soldiers were amazing and informative! Thank you for everything Kelly Tours!
Great adventure
