Great Walking Tour - Great walking tour. Our guide (Michael) did a great job explaining the history around downtown Beaufort. Leisurely pace. We got to learn about the connection to several movies filmed in the downtown area. Highly recommend.

Recommend this tour. - Started off a bit shaky -- guide wasn't where we were told to meet, and didn't seem to know that it was supposed to me a movie tour. So we were worried that this tour might be a bust. But we had a great time with our guide, Scarlett. She was a hoot -- funny, down to earth, knowledgeable, and engaging (and knew enough about the movies filmed there that it fulfilled what we signed up for). Beaufort is a beautiful town and we're glad we got to experience it on this tour.

Walking through history - 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.

Treat yourself to a great experience with Beaufort Tours - 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.

Overall a good morning tour - Bil (with 1L) was a very knoledable guise. He lived in Beaufort mpst of his life and was an amazinbg source of the towns history. The tour was a bit lacking in the movie end of it. Yes he did point out who stayed in what homes while the movies were being filmed.Compared to other movies tours we have taken over the years , we have grown used to the guide showing pictures from scene of the movie at certain location to see how the location fit into the movie. But again, Bil knew the town well, was funny at times, and did not rush us through town.

What did he say? - The tour guide Bill didn’t use a mic system. So, it was pretty hard to hear him when walking or when he was turned away, which was often. His history knowledge was sub-par. It seemed he made up a lot of the info. Fortunately, he walked us by a lot marker signs that told the story. The walk was a lengthy one, so you definitely felt you got your monies worth.
