Sea Island Carriage Company is class act buggy tour company. They are friendly, knowledgeable and above all entertaining. The horse pulling our carriage was beautiful and well cared for. Definitely a great way to learn the history of Beaufort and see the beautiful and historic sites. More

First the City of Beaufort is well beautiful. We made the trip down from Charleston and took the carriage ride and enjoyed this carriage ride much more than the carriage ride in Charleston. Both carriage companies that work this area sell tickets from the City Parking lot and alternate between the two companies and we got Sea Island. Our guide... More

Decided to take the tour because I really didn't know a lot about Beaufort. Debbie was very informative and interesting. Quite humorous too.. Merlin was very attentive, although he pretty much decided when he wanted to go and stop, which made the trip fun.. Definitely worth a second tour and worth the drive from Macon, Ga. More

The information provided on the tour is great and the town was beautiful. However, I had a hard time focusing because I felt so sad about the horse, Buck, who was pulling our carriage. He was covered in flies that we're obviously biting and bothering him. Not sure why a horse would be covered in that many flies in Feb.... More

Good tour guide, but overshadowed by obvious poor care of the horse. I own my own horses and speak knowledgably. The horse , Doc, had an obvious loose shoe on one of his fronts, clinking and clanking throughout the ride. When I pointed this out to the driver he just shrugged his shoulders and continued. Also, Doc looked like he... More

We were in town for an extended weekend so this was a unique and quick way to see and learn about downtown Beaufort. My only complaint is that the tour guide spoke SO fast that it was difficult to digest all the information. I realize time is money, but I would have learned more and it would have been even... More

Rocky took us to all the best places. Staying in savannaj, we came up for the afternoon. We didn't know anything about the town. The tour really enhanced our brief visit. More

On vacation this year, a few girlfriends and took an afternoon trip down to Beaufort, South Carolina. The town was both quaint and charming and overall lovely. We bought tickets to take a horse-drawn carriage tour with Sea Island Carriage Company. Being a "horse person" myself, I was enthusiastic to meet the horse who would be drawing our carriage that...
