Kim was our guide and she was excellent!! She was so knowledgeable and so engaging. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Everyone in my group had been to Beaufort before, but none of us had taken this tour. We would highly recommend this tour. Many thanks to Kim for making today such a special day for all of us.

This is a walking tour, 2 miles. I was told the day before that it was a bus tour. I did not take the tour.

I apologized to you when you came in to explain. This is a Walking Tour, period. Viator/TripAdvisor sells it as a Walking Tour. It is clearly marketed online as: 2 Hour walking ghost tour Fully narrated walking tour Expect the tour to be about 2 miles in distance Nothing on the website says it is a Bus Tour. I really am sorry, but there was nothing I could do here at the office to help.

Kim, our Guide, did a fantastic job! She was extremely informative, but it was a very fun tour… We walked at a slow pace and she told us all kinds of interesting stories and information about the area, the houses, the residence and some ghost stories! You learned a lot in a very interesting way… We loved it !!!
