Beaufort Tours is a local tour operator based in Beaufort, South Carolina, that offers guided tours of Beaufort’s historic district. The company provides two signature experiences: a one-hour History and Movie Tour by Golf Cart and a two-hour Beaufort Walking History/Movie Tour. The golf cart tour tours the historic district, showcasing live oaks draped in Spanish moss and pre-Civil War houses while sharing local history and movie-related anecdotes.

The operator serves visitors in the Beaufort, South Carolina area and concentrates activities within the town’s designated historic district. Prospective guests can choose the format and duration that match their interests and mobility considerations.
