5.00Raul was our tour guide for this fun tour. I live in Beaufort, but had company down for the week. I thought it would be fun to do this history tour as I had never done one before. I learned so much! Raul took us all over the downtown area, into the point, and even to the national cemetery. We saw all the important sites such as Tidalhome, Robert Smalls home and the Castle. He talked about Pat Conroy and his contribution to Beaufort as well as Robert Snalls and his impact to the area. Would highly recommend, even if you think you already know everything about Beaufort!
Informative

5.00Laura packed a lot into this tour and covered quite a bit, historically and geographically around town. Our group really appreciated her love and knowledge of Beaufort, which has a unique and rich history. This is mostly a history tour with some fun movie trivia peppered in, here and there. Great way to learn about this interesting town!
