5.00We could not have picked a better day to tour Beaufort or a better guide than Janet McCauley. We've lived in Beaufort for 20 years and still learned a ton from Janet's thorough explanations. Beaufort and Pat Conroy both have rich histories, and she knew just how to present them. Highly recommend this tour.
Pat Conroy's best experience!!

5.00On Sunday 10/27/2024 My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful Pat Conroy golf cart tour in Beaufort. Our guide (Janet) was fantastic and very knowledgeable of Beaufort history as well as Pat Conroy. Janet was fabulous and answered every question we had to the fullest. Definitely will give her 10 stars for the tour. She loves what she does and will go out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and relax during the tour. I recommend her 100 percent. You will not regret it. We will be back to Beaufort and will most likely request her for our next guided tour.
Highlight of trip!

5.00Our tour guide Karen was incredible. Besides her extensive knowledge of Pat Conroy, she also showed her love of Beaufort through description and history of this beautiful town, including identifying the local flora. Golf cart tours are the best for those with mobility issues and this tour even included hearing devices so you wouldn't miss a word! Highly recommend and ask for Karen!
Amazing tour, exceeded our expectations!
