This is THE historical tour to book in Beaufort. - Janet is a gifted historian, a fantastic storyteller and a delightful woman with a great sense of humor. She immediately created a sense of community among we tourists and thoroughly shared the fascinating history of Beaufort.
We could not have seen so much up close or in house via a tour on boat or carriage…or on a self guided walking tour! This tour was the highlight of a 6 day road trip.
