Evelene Stevenson is a wonderful tour guide! She sings and dances and knows everything about Beaufort, SC and the Gullah people. Loved my tour with her!

My favorite part was just listening to the guides tremendous wealth of knowledge of the low country during the 'Reconstruction Era'. I highly recommend this tour, if you are in the Beaufort or surrounding area.

The Old Beaufort Heritage Tour was great! It was better than great. Our driver/tour guide Evelene Stevenson was so knowledgeable and really gave an excellent history lesson. Gullah/Geechee! Coffin Point Praise House was one of the best features of the tour. Evelene thank you!
