We had previously taken a horse drawn carriage tour that was lovely, but this was SO much better. In the golf cart we were able to cover so much more of beautiful Beaufort. Our tour guide Kathy was energetic, articulate, knowledgeable and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed all the information on Pat Conroy and his amazing life and work, but Kathy also gave us a lot of history and told wonderful stories about Beaufort and its main characters. I highly recommend this or any of the golf cart tours to Beaufort visitors.

We were asked to cancel a 2pm tour due to a pending storm on radar. As of 5pm, the storm has not materialized. Emma's golf cart tours continued all afternoon. We booked a van tour the next day with Gray Line.

We take the safety of our customers seriously. As a result of an unexpected downpour during the 11am tour today, complete with lightning strike downtown, we felt the need to cancel your later tour with more storms appearing on multiple radar and weather apps. Beaufort weather can be very unpredictable but we err on the side of caution, giving a full refund of course. We hope to see y’all on a future tour in good, safe weather!

We had a fabulous experience on Janet’s guided tour. After spending an hour at the Pat Conroy Literary Center and getting much more familiar with his life & family history, we had a lovely tour of the beautiful, historic neighborhoods in downtown Beaufort… areas that Pat and actors in his movies frequented. Learned more about his family and visited graves of his parents and an influential creative writing teacher. Janet’s admiration for Pat Conroy was evident and she eagerly answered all of our questions.
