    This carriage tour through historic Beaufort consistently delivers an informative and relaxing way to explore the area's rich past. Guides like Laura, Nicole, and Jennifer receive high praise for their passion and deep knowledge of local history, covering everything from antebellum architecture and Gullah culture to notable figures like Robert Smalls. The horses—Angus, Bobby, Darla, and the rest—get plenty of love too, with visitors noting how well-cared-for they are and how smoothly they handle the routes. The hour-long tours strike an ideal balance between entertainment and education, with even locals discovering new details about Beaufort on subsequent rides. The company shows thoughtful consideration for accessibility, making boarding easier for elderly guests with platform stairs. First-time visitors find it an excellent orientation to the area, while repeat customers bring friends and family back to share the experience. The tours also extend to special occasions like Christmas light viewings in nearby Habersham, offering seasonal variety throughout the year.

    Wonderful relaxing tour of old town Beaufort! Nicole was great, entertaining and very knowledgeable of the local area! The horses known as the girls Cat and Darla were sweet. We really enjoyed learning about this town!
