We arranged this tour for guests who were visiting Beaufort for the first time. They thoroughly enjoyed the tour and were impressed by the guide’s knowledge. We have taken a few golf cart tours in the past and we now send all of our first time guests on the tour. It’s the best way to get a birds eye view of our town’s rich history and beauty.
