Really informed tour guide. Enjoyable with headphones to really hear description of sites. She was very attuned to her horse as well. I went solo with my service dog and met very nice people too.
The horse and buggy tour was really nice. Beaufort is a beautiful area with a lot of history. Wyatt was a great horse with a lot of personality. Really lovely tour.
Excellent. Learned a great deal about the area and the history. Guide was great would highly recommend this tour.
We enjoyed the relaxing ride through the historic district. Our guide, Anastasia was knowledgeable about the history of the area and kept the tour light and entertaining, all while maintaining our safety along the streets.
This is a must do in Beaufort! The history and stories told with humor, priceless. You see the houses in the historic Point come alive.
The carriage ride turned out to be the highlight of our visit to Beaufort. Our driver, Liz, was a wealth of information, funny and really LOVED her horse...Wyatt Erp! The relationship between them was so obvious, and only made our experience better. The history about the local area was interesting in itself, but the extent that Beaufort and it's citizens played in American history was incredible. We live near Charleston, and have done numerous carriage rides, but this was by far the best one we've enjoyed!!
Very comfortable and driver a hometown girl who was very knowledgeable. Just the right amount of time. Very enjoyable.
Fantastic!!! Our guide was knowledgeable and had a great personality! Our horse was beautiful! This was a great experience!
Thoroughly enjoyed this informative tour of historic Beaufort. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. I appreciated the little headsets so we could all hear our guide well. I definitely recommend this tour.
This tour exceeded our expectations!! The staff, from booking to check-in and beyond were exceptionally helpful and nice. Our driver and guide was Tyler Banks who was full of enthusiasm and knowledge of Beaufort. Tyler was humorous—joking about our horse Steve and other witty comments that made for a pleasant 55 minute ride through the historic district. There was also an opportunity at the end to interact with the horse. Strongly recommend — fun for all ages.
