Q&A

Q: How scary is the Haunted Beaufort Walking Tour? I'm a bit worried about it being too intense for my 12-year-old.

A: The tour is more about the history and the ghost stories than jump scares. It's suitable for most ages, including kids, but some stories might be a bit eerie. I took my 13-year-old and they loved it, especially the tales about the castle and the courthouse.

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Is it mostly outside?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking about 2 miles! The tour is mostly outside, so check the weather and dress in layers if it’s chilly. I recommend bringing a bottle of water too.

Q: What if it rains? Can we reschedule the tour?

A: If it rains, they usually just reschedule the tour. You can contact Kelly Tours, and they'll work with you to find another time. I had to reschedule once because of bad weather, and it was super easy!

I went on the Haunted Beaufort Walking Tour last weekend, and it was awesome! Starting at Beaufort Castle felt so atmospheric, especially with the stories about the ghosts. The courthouse tales about the 1893 storm were hauntingly beautiful. The guide was super knowledgeable and really made the history come alive! Totally recommend it if you're into spooky stuff. Plus, it was a nice way to get some steps in!
