Beaufort, South Carolina, rests along the Lowcountry coast, where moss-draped oaks shade centuries-old streets and waterside views reveal the rhythms of tidal marshes. Beaufort Tours offers a unique way to experience this city’s distinct blend of history, culture, and cinematic charm: guided golf cart tours that wind through its historic districts and landmarks with an on-the-ground intimacy that larger vehicles can’t match.

From the seat of a quiet, open-air golf cart, guests are transported back in time through stories of Civil War era antebellum homes, antebellum architecture, and quiet anecdotes about life in this Southern seaport. The tours place special emphasis on connections to Pat Conroy—the beloved author whose memoirs immortalized the area—as well as Beaufort’s role in filming major motion pictures. This mix of literary and film history enriches the experience beyond conventional walking or bus tours.

Reviewers mention drivers like Lawrence and Janet who engage deeply with Beaufort’s history, making stops for photos and meaningful detours, allowing visitors to absorb the historic sites in less crowded, more personal settings.
