Katelyn was a great your guide. She brought us to some wonderful sites. The National Cemetery was an interesting site. The information on the sea island cotton and the boll weavle was a highlight. We loved the beautiful homes.

We could not have picked a better day to tour Beaufort or a better guide than Janet McCauley. We've lived in Beaufort for 20 years and still learned a ton from Janet's thorough explanations. Beaufort and Pat Conroy both have rich histories, and she knew just how to present them. Highly recommend this tour.
