5.00We all learned so much about Beaufort (and Civil War and movie and movie stars) that we never knew before, from Laura, who was an excellent tour guide. The tour took about 75 minutes, and goes all over the downtown and historical areas. Would highly recommend it.
Not to be missed

5.00An excellent tour! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and did not just recite a script. Highly recommend. Golf cart ride can be a bit chilly so dress warmly
Poor execution of your guide

2.00The tour guide was not good in delivering the history of the city. Jumped around , not concise, rambling a bit. She also does not need to look at us while driving the cart. Seemed a little dangerous
Just enough

5.00Wanted to take the Pat Conroy tour (my favorite author) but it wasn’t available in our time frame. Instead we took this tour and while it was a little chilly our guide made it worthwhile. We got a little bit of everything. All four of us really enjoyed it. Thumbs Up!
Great tour with Kathy!

5.00Enjoyed a very personable tour by golf cart with Kathy on November 13th., 2025 at 9:30 am, since my wife & I were the only tourist. Kathy was very knowledgeable about the rich history of the city and residents, as well as the movie connections. Unfortunately we had limited time in such a beautiful city, but by taking the golf cart tour, we were able to experience the gorgeous buildings, city’s history and movie stories in a relaxed atmosphere. And her delivery was so relaxed and informative that by the end of the tour few questions were asked. Highly recommend.
A fun way to learn history

5.00I have been on this tour many times as I take all my visitors on it and we get lots of visitors! It is such a great way to get a real understanding on the history of this magical place. We were so lucky to have Janet as our tour guide as she is fantastic! Janet is the best tour guide in town! This tour is the best value in town!
A beautiful, informed story teller hosted our tour. She provided ear phones to compensate for traffic and construction.
