- abbey05520 contributionsBeaufort Golf Cart TourWe enjoyed the history and sights of Beaufort. Our guide, Lawrence, was well informed and engaging. We had the back seats, facing backward, and feel that we missed things due to the fact that we couldn’t see which way the guide was pointing, which building he was referring to. I would only do this again in the forward facing seats.Written November 25, 2024

All have been good but our experience with Kathy was outstanding — her knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to impart the history and spirit of Beaufort was a highlight for our guests, All this in spite of a few showers that she quickly accommodated with umbrellas and blankets.Written November 16, 2024
- ElizabethandDan0 contributionsGreat idea for your out of town guests or for your first time in Beaufort!Our 3rd time on this tour, we live in Hilton Head and bring visitors to this tour. It's a great intro to Beaufort, and good for folks who can't do a lot of walking. It's always a great experience, and I learn something each time!Written November 15, 2024
- X2841TUmichaels0 contributionsHistory can be funWe toured the neighborhoods of Beaufort NC near the waterfront with our guide, KC, a semi-retired former teacher. It was a very entertaining hour on the golf cart, seeing the beautiful town, its historic homes and the truly amazing landscapes they were found in. We learned a lot about the town and its role in the Civil War, leading to the freedom of local slaves and their subsequent participation for the Union Army. We also talked movies filmed there and visited a military cemetery in the town. A Harriet Tubman sculpture was viewed and her time in Beaufort discussed. The role of the local churches as war hospitals was touched on. The time went by fast and the town became even more special knowing its dramatic pastWritten November 12, 2024

Terrific! Davis was an entertaining and informative guide. He is a former professor, which added to the experience. He wasn’t scripted, and he modified the tour based on our questions and interest. His depth of knowledge was hard to contain within a two hour tour experience. Delightful afternoon in Beaufort, which we finished with dinner at Saltus River Grill. We are going to do the Beaufort Ghost walking tour tomorrow night!

Davis was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to on this two hour tour of Beaufort. His extensive knowledge and personal experience on the history of this community really made for an amazing tour. The people he spoke about seemed to come alive and we were able relate to these historical people and what they had to endure, both good and bad. I highly recommend this tour if visiting Beaufort, South Carolina. It will surely impress you.

This was a great tour with Bill! It was fun, engaging and we learned a lot. We were the only two on this tour and felt we got all of our questions answered and learned some legendary information about Beaufort. Bill seemed to know everyone in town and had knowledge of the history as well as the movies shot in the area. If you go, make sure to buy the book about Robert Smalls - great historical fiction that provides real insight.

Davis was a wonderful tour guide. He is immensely knowledgeable and answers questions with great facility. The 2 hours flew by and I'm sure we only scratched the surface of Davis' knowledge. It was a very enjoyable and informative tour.

We did the walking tour and really liked it. For two hours the guide was able to really impart a lot of information and the stroll throughout the historic district was so much more pleasant than zooming by on AA carriage or golf cart. Also with a walking tour you could stop and ask questions and follow-up questions.

As I was the only person today on the walking tour, it was a wonderful time of interaction. Kathy is very knowledgeable about the area and has many facts and stories that are very interesting. She also had some great photos. The walk was at a leisurely pace and very enjoyable. If you want to learn about this area, you won't be disappointed. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Beaufort!

We had a wonderful Walking Tour with Kathy. This was my second tour with her. My sisters and I had taken the golf cart tour with Kathy in October 2023 and loved it. Kathy certainly knows her Beaufort history and makes it come alive. It’s obvious she continues to research learn about the history she covers. If you go to Beaufort, treat yourself to a tour with Kathy and Beaufort Tours.

Highly recommend!

We went on a walking tour with Kathy as a last minute thing to do. What an enjoyable afternoon. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and definitely a good tour guide. We learned so much about Beaufort’s history and also learned about all the movies that have been filmed there. More than I knew about but a lot of my favorite films. Kathy was quick to answer the many questions that we had which made for a great walking tour. I highly recommend this tour.
