We went on the noon tour, our guide Anna, was superb. She was both very entertaining and extremely informative about historic Beaufort. Telling us great stories and history about the people and homes that we passed by. Anna mixed in her factual stories with humor and current information about all the movies that were also filmed in beauul Beaufort. Felipe her gallant steed, more than did his part steadily pulling us through the picturesque streets. If I had any complaints, it would have been the tour could not have lasted longer. When you come to beautiful Beaufort I highly recommend taking the buggy tour, if you are lucky enough to get Anna, I know you will love the tour. But regardless the Beaufort buggy tour is a must to do when you visit this beautiful historic city.

He often spoke with his back to the customers. While it is understandable that he needs to see where he is going, it is inexcusable to be be rude to paying customers. TERRIBLE, use the other company in town.

This is our third time doing this same tour. Whenever we have out of town guests, this is where we bring them. Charlotte is a fantastic tour guide. Her family has lived in the area for generations and she knows a tremendous amount of history. She has a great rapport with the horses who pull the carriage. It's obviously they are treated very nicely. She maintains great eye contact with the passengers. It's a FUN city to visit. There are ALWAYS people out walking (many with their dogs) and everybody waved to us and greeted us as we passed.
