5.00Janet was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. The tour lasted almost 3 hours, a great value for the price. I especially enjoyed learning about Robert Smalls and seeing houses where movies like The Prince of Tides and The Big Chill were filmed.

5.00This was a wonderful, informative and casual tour of historical Beaufort. Wynn was fabulous with his fund of knowledge of the historical sites and well as the surrounding context of the history of the day contributing to the events in Beaufort. The walk is easy and the 2 1/2 hours went by quickly. We could recommend this to anyone looking for a guided tour of Beaufort.

5.00Janet's Walking History Tour of Beaufort was one of the highlights of our trip to South Carolina. Janet brings History to life in a hugely engaging, often moving, way. This, combined with boundless energy, fun and great story telling makes her walking tour a 'must do'. Janet's knowledge of Architecture and traditional building enhanced our appreciation of this very special Town.
Janet is the best ambassador!!
