The tour was awesome. Our guide is so very knowledgeable of the historical features, houses, and events in Beaufort. He was very professional and made sure we were all comfortable on the bus throughout the tour. He was on time and returned us back to our destination safe and sound. It is definitely worth going on this tour.

The history lesson was excellent; never knew how important Beaufort was. Dean, our driver, was friendly, articulate, knowledgeable, and responsive. The one criticism I had was that the slant of the narrative was way too ‘woke.’ Lighten up! Transportation would have received 5 stars, but the a/c was terrible.

The guide was so very knowledgeable about the history of Beaufort. I learned so much about the role played by Beaufort in the Civil War and I taught American history! She also knew so much about the movies filmed in Beaufort. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour
