On our first day of a week-long visit to Beaufort , we were hoping for a special introduction to the beautiful area. And that is what we received. In Anastasia, our very unique driver-guide, we got an in-depth, colorful trip around a rather small geographical area that boasts of a huge past and present. With a high level of energy, enthusiasm, insight and humor, our guide allowed us to view neighborhoods with strikingly beautiful homes and fascinating stories which are significant to the region's and the nation's history over the past several centuries. She piqued our interest to the point where we spent time a few days later walking around what Anastasia and her trusty draft horse companion took us to see on our excursion. Highly recommended.

We tend to try to take advantage of professional tours when visiting new areas. This was a very thorough and well presented tour. It was chalk full of details. I would recommend this tour to others.

I never even heard of this town before our tour. But WOW eee. Our driver guide Anastasia amazed and engaged our whole group with theatrical commentary. We loved how she personalized the historic tour with great wit and wisdom! She also commanded our steed Fillipe? With great skill and compassion. He was a gentle horse who has compassionate care. It was great memory and wonderful experience😀
