Our Charleston based tour planner and staff at our Beaufort B and B raved about Janet's tour and how she brings the city of Beaufort and its magnificent homes and history to life. Unfortunately her delegate who gave us our tour on June 5 was UNACCEPTABLE. I believer we would have enjoyed our two hours more just walking around on our own. We learned more of Beaufort's history, houses and residents on our Dolphins Adventures Tour than we did with this replacement guide. There were only 4 of us on the tour and the guide spent the entire time talking with two phd child psychology students, a couple, trying to impress them with his knowledge of their field of study. He spent more time on this than talking about Beaufort. We traditionally love walking tours as it allows for engagement with the guide etc. We were ignored like we were not even on the tour zero engagement the exact opposite of every other one of our tours on our two week trip. . A church was unlocked for us to walk in. Unfortunately a number of others sauntered in the open door and we had to wait a good 15 minutes while the others moseyed around the interior used the bathroom (queued) etc. as our guide had to wait until they left. Because he had to lock up.

Parking was easy to find in the waterfront marina departure point. Raul led the tour, and did a decent job in covering the history of Beaufort and going over both history and architecture of homes in the area, as well as pointing out where some movies were filmed locally. I liked that the tour ventured out of the historic part of town to go to the Beaufort National Cemetery, as it's one of those places people visiting would otherwise likely skip out on. Overall, I'd rate the tour 4 stars, as I didn't like it as much as other Atlantic coastal town tours I've done in the past (Southport, for example), and this tour was a bit more expensive in comparison (but still worth it). I also thought it was a bit much to be told to leave a review by the guide, and also receive messages via both email and text message to review as well.

Mr. Morris Campbell, "e mout na know no Sunday!" That's what the Gullah people say, and that's…read moreexactly what you get. For the entire 2.5-hour tour, he talks almost nonstop, sharing the history, culture, and stories of the Gullah people in Hilton Head and beyond. I don't know how old Mr. Campbell is, but he's definitely up there in years, and his passion and knowledge are incredible. I sincerely hope someone is being prepared to carry the mantle when he's ready to step away, because there would be a major void in Hilton Head's cultural scene without him. If you want to truly understand the island beyond the beaches and resorts, this tour is well worth your time.

The accommodations were comfortable, and Mr. Melvin and James the driver were very informative. The tour company is a family affair and a local treasure trove of the important history of the Gullah people.

We learned so much and want to learn so much more!

This tour did not cover as much of Downtown Beaufort as the other tour I took or provide as much history but it was fun and I learned different tidbits. Angus was the horse that took us around. The horses are well cared for and if it gets too hot in the summer the tours are stopped. I'd recommend this tour while in Beaufort.

They allowed our 90lb dog which was very kind in the close quarters of a speedboat! There is a whole procedure of parking away from the terminal (since it is so crowded nearby) and boarding at the terminal dock. They were mostly on time and had a helpful friendly attitude. My child fell asleep on the ride so it was smooth and calming enough! My only negative was we'd have appreciated more departure options and flexibility to change times if needed (provided there is room). We had trouble finding a lot of info on things to do with kids on Daufuskie (we learned there is not a lot for them; it is more for Boomers to drink) so we would've valued being able to return sooner, but it is what it is. Just the only drawback we had with service options. But we definitely recommend to others.

It wasn't the most organized tour we've been on; the boat loaded late, and then when the company realized they had overbooked, we had to change to a larger boat before FINALLY getting underway.

The golf cart was nice and we had a blast exploring the island - it really is undeveloped and the beach is terrific.

The food included was good and filling (southern fare, chicken, mac n cheese, collard greens, peach cobbler, etc.) Plenty of portions and then time to see the island via golf cart- so much fun. Probably would take two days to see whole island, next time we are going to check out the costs of the mini cabins there near the dock. The ferry ride in and out were about 45 minutes each. We sat top deck and just enjoyed the views of dolphins and various wildlife. Captain and narrator had some funny stories to share. The intercom cut out a few times but we were having too much fun to notice. This is a laid back tour. Great way to spend a day cooling off from the hot Hilton Head beaches.
