DON'T MISS THIS - This tour was fabulous. Janet is so knowledgeable about the area. She obviously loves talking about it. Her tour includes history and interesting stories about the people who settled it. She was well known and welcomed wherever we went. We were able to go inside several houses. The architectural detail must be seen in person. She also knew the best picture spot and took pix on our phones. If you only do one tour of Beaufort, make it this one.
On a side note, I happen to have a bum knee. Janet was so accommodating without missing a beat.
