Fun day out - Really informed tour guide. Enjoyable with headphones to really hear description of sites. She was very attuned to her horse as well. I went solo with my service dog and met very nice people too.

Must do activity in Beaufort!! - The carriage ride turned out to be the highlight of our visit to Beaufort. Our driver, Liz, was a wealth of information, funny and really LOVED her horse...Wyatt Erp! The relationship between them was so obvious, and only made our experience better. The history about the local area was interesting in itself, but the extent that Beaufort and it's citizens played in American history was incredible. We live near Charleston, and have done numerous carriage rides, but this was by far the best one we've enjoyed!!

Great tour - not to be missed!!! - This tour exceeded our expectations!! The staff, from booking to check-in and beyond were exceptionally helpful and nice. Our driver and guide was Tyler Banks who was full of enthusiasm and knowledge of Beaufort. Tyler was humorous—joking about our horse Steve and other witty comments that made for a pleasant 55 minute ride through the historic district. There was also an opportunity at the end to interact with the horse. Strongly recommend — fun for all ages.
