Heather our guide was incredible. Besides her wealth of knowledge was her ability share it with us. I learned and saw so much of beautiful Beaufort. Most importantly I learned more about Beaufort’s significance in the civil war and reconstruction than I had in a lifetime. If your thinking about this tour….do it…2 hours in ac minibus.
The air conditioned bus was well worth it considering the temperature was 93 degrees! Heather had a vast wealth of information!
Our historic tour of Beaufort was one of the highlights of our visit. Our guide, Heather, was phenomenal ! She was so well informed and animated. We definitely learned a lot.
We would book this excursion again since everyone in our group really enjoyed it. Rosemary was very knowledgeable and was able to share many interesting facts about the historical area. You really sensed she enjoyed what she does, and that made it enjoyable for us. What would have made it excellent are two things - not being a local we attempted to go to the address on this site, however parking was confusing since here it shares we needed to pay for it but that day apparently it was free, and the bus pickup was confusing due to construction in the area. Lastly, since the bus was advertised as air conditioned, we expected it to be cooler however with it being nearly 100 outside, I’m guessing the bus struggled some. You felt some air when standing but when sitting the air was stale and warm. Still, we would book this again since we loved the area and feel like we just touched what the town has to offer.
Our guide was excellent and very informative. A great history lesson on Beaufort. The air conditioned bus was a great way to stay cool.
Heather was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Beaufort. We learned so much! One of the best tours we been on!
Most informative tour of the historic district. Full of facts and stories. Very well presented. I did find their mini bus does have somewhat restrictive viewing the way it is built.
Wonderful van ride with air conditioning. Very comfortable Total time was 2 hours. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Beaufort history and architecture. We learned a lot. Would recommend.
