The Heyward House is one of eight buildings that survived, and the only one of seven that still exist that's open to the public. It provides a glimpse into everyday 19th-century life.

Bluffton ought to be ashamed of itself calling this atrocity a "Welcome Center" or a "Visitor…read moreCenter." There are several "Visitor Center" signs on the roads all over town with arrows pointing to this place. And then once you arrive there is a blackboard at the front entrance to the building directing you to the open screened back porch. But the only thing there was a half empty rack with a few pamphlets. Ironically, most of the pamphlets were for museums and other "touristy" things to do in Savannah, which is where we came from! We enjoyed the rest of our visit to Bluffton today, but calling this place a "Visitor Center" is a joke - - - and a bad one at that.

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.
