Best tour you'll ever take! - Our guide, Jennifer, was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Beaufort, and walked us through a five-century-plus timeline, from 1511 to the present. With that underpinning, she explained the history of every significant development in local history, architecture, financial, social and political that have come to make Beaufort what it is. Really impressive! I've lived here for nearly 20 years, and she really knows her stuff.

Great way to start your visit to Beaufort - The clopping of horse hooves while listening to a little history of Beaufort was a wonderful experience. Will bring all my guests here to start their visits & then explore the town. Knowledgable & local tour guides

Best Beaufort tour ever! - We took tours before but we learned so much more, this time. Ron and Don (our horses) did an excellent job and so did our guide, Nichole. We highly recommend Sea Island Carriage for your next tour.

Great historic tour - We had a great time on this carriage tour! Nicole was an excellent guide and historian. She expertly managed the horses, related historical facts and stories, and gave us a better understanding and appreciation for Beaufort and it's role in history. It's a smallish carriage with a max of 4 adults across and 4 rows, so it was easy to hear her (& she had a mic & we had earphones if needed) and we had great visibility. It's about an hour and at a very slow pace, but covers most of the historic area and beautiful antebellum homes.
