We enjoyed our walking tour with Janet. Her enthusiasm for Beaufort’s history makes the tour extra fun. She is quite willing to make a detour if it helps one’s understanding or answers a question. Great way to gain local insight.

This tour was highly recommended by close friends visiting in the Hilton Head area. Janet is very knowledgeable and informative of the history and people of Beaufort. Her presentation is entertaining and enthusiastic. Using maps to show historical occurrences starting nearly 500 years ago, the events are nearly brought to life in a way that you can almost imagine being there. Most everybody we walked past during the 2+ hour tour bade a cheery hello to Janet with a welcoming smile on their face. Our group was welcome to walk into private yards to admire gardens and even taste kumquats picked right from the tree - consumed it it’s entirety! Yummy! We entered the Rhett House to be introduced to some of the unique architecture of the period as well as see the house layout and furniture. For Hollywood film buffs, nearly 20 films have been shot in Beaufort, Janet can point out the many specific locations associated with the films and actors/actresses. The anecdote relating to Barbara Streisand vs the military flyovers from the nearby base was especially interesting. As reported in other reviews, Janet possesses a wealth of knowledge relating to local restaurants.
