Great Family Fun and Great History lesson! - Kid friendly, wonderful experience. We were a 4 adult and 5 kids from 1-12 year old and it kept their interest for the whole hour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and loved her job and community. People would wave to her/us and say hello. It rained, but that's mother nature. We all wanted to go on another right after to here more historical stories!!

A bit of the Old South - The tour guide/carriage driver was very personable and informative. She gave a great deal of information and insight and was patiently willing to respond to questions and observations of all passengers. She was patient with the horse, and he, Angus, was well-mannered and always willing to proceed to the next spot. The tour was educational and the properties toured were beautiful and historical.

Learned something new - Nice tour over to The Point area and back. Robert Smalls is the most interesting fellow in Beaufort history. Give yourself a few minutes to find and pay for parking. Good for 5 year olds and up.
