Money Well Spent-Just Do It! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining & informative tour. Wynn was our guide and he did an excellent job. He is an absolute fountain of historic facts and interesting details. Although we've visited Beaufort several times, this was our first formal tour. Wynn took us to some stunningly beautiful spots that felt very much off the beaten track but were just tucked away in Beaufort's charming historic district. Wynn is also a very considerate guide and made sure to offer several restroom stops along the way, which many in the group appreciated.

Solid walking tour - Good tour guide. Knowledgeable but I thought he left some interesting facts out. Ie St Helene’s cemetery Revolutionary war graves. How both sides buried in same cemetery. And other information.
