5.00I and 2 adult family members enjoyed our minibus tour. We had a knowledgeable, charismatic narrator, Rosemary, who kept us engaged the entire trip. We learned much about the history of the magnificent homes, as well as the people who lived in them. Rosemary's stories brought these people to life. The tour had it all -- beautiful historic homes, true stories about Beaufort during the Civil War, houses which appeared in famous movies, Beaufort National Cemetery, and countless stories the entire time by Rosemary. It was a wonderful experience.
Highly Recommend Informative Tour

5.00Albert did a very good job. He was knowledgeable, personable, and thorough. Despite the construction in the city, through pivoting and taking different routes he still gave us an amazing experience. I'd highly recommend this tour.
