FABULOUS HISTORY AND MOVIE TOUR IN BEAUFORT
Oct 2022
Our golf cart tour of Beaufort was led by a very knowledgeable guide. He carefully navigated the tree lined streets of historic Beaufort, pointing out important homes and regaling us with the stories of the people who had founded this charming town. Many famous movies were filmed in Beaufort. The actors who starred in the movies often rented beautiful historic homes and interacted with residents. I am a passionate Pat Conroy fan, and since he lived in Beaufort and is buried on St. Helena's Island nearby, I really enjoyed commentary our guide provided about Mr. Conroy. (I learned that he offers a special tour focused on Pat Conroy, so that will be the first thing we do the next time we visit. Beaufort is a beautiful, historic, welcoming town. My husband and I were able to understand the richness of its history through our guide's entertaining and very informative commentary. This tour would greatly enrich anyone's visit to Beaufort; I highly recommend it.

Informative and Fun History and Movie Golf Cart Tour
Feb 2023 • Friends
Candy was a great guide! She skillfully interwove the historical sites and famous movie settings with stories about famous persons from history, noted actors from films shot locally, and the beloved author Pat Conroy. This tour brought history and gossipy tales of Hollywood stars to life. Highly recommend!

A great way to see Beaufort!
Oct 2021
My wife and I had been once to Beaufort about 20+ years ago. On this visit we went on two tours given by Bill of Beaufort Tours, the History/Movie tour and the Pat Conroy tour. Both were excellent. Bill knows these topics thoroughly, and his cordial manner was very pleasant.. The 4-passenger golf cart provided the feel of a family outing. I highly recommend you take advantage of Bill's knowledge and the comfortable setting he offers. It's obvious he loves the Low Country.

Four of us Post 65 year-olds took the one hour tour of Beaufort on a golf cart, a great way to see a city of that size. While a bit pricy, our guide was full of facts offered as part of the tour and in response to our many questions. Very enjoyable and informative!

Thank you! We strive to offer a great tour of beautiful Beaufort! It is great to be back giving tours again after pausing tours in March 2020 by van due to COVID. The purchase of our new Yamaha Concierge 8 passenger golf cart was certainly an unexpected expense, but it has gotten us back on the road!

3 tours with Beaufort Tours
Mar 2023
This past week we took 3 tours with Beaufort Tours: History/Movie golf cart tour, Walking Tour of Beaufort and the Pat Conroy Tour. Janet was our guide for all 3. She was a wonderful tour guide--so knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We took the golf cart tour on the day of our arrival. It was very relaxing, and it gave us a chance to get acquainted with the city, since this was our 1st trip to Beaufort. We received basically the same information on the 1st 2 tours, but we enjoyed both. If you only have time for one of these 2 tours, I would recommend the walking tour, since we went into a cemetery and could see a little more of the homes. It is a 2 mile tour and takes 2 hours. We loved the tour of Pat Conroy's life, so much so that I bought several books about him. His life was touched upon during the 1st 2 tours. I would definitely recommend this tour company!

Janet was our guide and she did a fabulous job of pointing out sites in Beaufort. If you are a fan of stars and movies that were made in Beaufort, you will love this tour. Also, lots of pieces of information about the historical aspects of the city. Each person wears his own headset and it's so easy to hear Janet this way without disturbing others on the street. We toured in July and it was hot and humid, so take a water bottle along with you. Janet is fun, knowledgeable and thorough.

A must-do in Beaufort!!!
Jan 2023 • Family
Our guide, Bill, was very knowledgable, friendly and entertaining. We've visited Beaufort multiple times and learned more about its fascinating history in one hour than we've learned through all the research we've done over the years. We aren't huge movie buffs but found the tour to be an excellent balance of lots of history with the movie trivia peppered in throughout (and actually found the movie part to be very interesting). I love the beautiful Beaufort mansions and was happy that it seemed like Bill drove past almost every mansion (and gave us great info on the more notable ones). The tour is great for all ages; my 80-ish year old parents felt very secure and safe in the golf cart and enjoyed that they could get a close-up view of all the sights without having to walk. I definitely recommend!!!

Golf carts history tour
Oct 2022
Our guide, Janet was excellent! She was very attentive the night before making sure we knew where to meet and making us aware of any other issues with parking. She was friendly and SO knowledgeable about the area and had funny stories about many of the people who filmed in Beaufort or who was a historical figure. My husband and I both love history and it was so great to talk with someone about what we have learned and read. Janet took great pride in the city and its history. You absolutely wants to take this tour. Its one of the very best we have been on. It was the best part of the weekend.

A must do for a newbie to Beaufort!
Nov 2022 • Couples
We thoroughly enjoyed the History & Movie golf cart tour with our host Janet. She was entertaining, engaging and extremely informative. She is passionate about what she does, which added greatly to our experience. We learned so much about Beaufort’s storied past and rich history. We’d have never seen as much on a walking tour and the breeze on the golf cart was a bonus on this warm day!

Best tour guide in town.
May 2023
I moved to Beaufort 2 years ago. My son was visiting from Alaska and I wanted to introduce him to our beautiful city. This is the third tour company I have used for a Beaufort tour. This tour was, by far, the best! Janet, our golf cart tour guide, has a breadth and depth of knowledge about the Beaufort area that is unsurpassed. Even after living here for two years, i learned so much more about the history, architecture, arts and culture of Beaufort. Her amusing anecdotes with a good amount of local lore sprinkled in make for quite an enjoyable tour. Her love for this charming city is very apparent. Highly recommend this tour!
