Great tour. Well worth the low cost. Nicole was fantastic. Showed us great things we would have missed and answered questions

Carleen_S

We had a wonderful carriage ride. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Beaufort. She was also very friendly & entertaining…making it very enjoyable. Her horse was the one that looked like a clydesdale…smart.

Wanderlassie

Was glad price was within reason and the time of year wasn’t too stinking hot to preclude our being able to enjoy this 1-hour look at Beaufort. Our guide was fairly up on what she was presenting and clearly liked and respected Angus, the horse she was guiding. One can see that this company is kind to the ‘horses that feed you’ (tourist $$$). I might have liked a bit more substance about former residents who inhabited Beufort but an effort was made to go by several locations known as movie settings or stars’ quarters /residences.

Very knowledgeable tour guide. Did however not mention the indigo trade that at one time flourished in this area. They did at one time export in excess of one million pounds of indigo dye to the rest of the world.

Kelsy (I think I got her name right) and her horse Angus worked so well together. It was such a pleasurable way to spend an hour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told so many interesting stories. I could have ridden around town for hours! It’s a great way to see the town - take the tour you’ll love it!
