Exceptional OBX Tour and Guide

Jill was the consummate host! Deeply knowledgeable about all things OBX, she took us to the very best locations, set up beautiful shots, and shared lots of insights from her time on the OBX shoots. She knew all the story lines and locations like the back of her hand. Jill was warm and friendly, patient and attentive, kind and funny. We had the very best day ever! If you get the privilege of having Jill guide you, don’t miss it!

Highlight of Our Trip – A Must-Do for OBX Fans!

Kathleen_K, Jul 2025

Jill was absolutely amazing! Her deep knowledge of the Outer Banks film locations combined with her warm, accommodating personality made this tour unforgettable for me and my daughters. From start to finish, it was the highlight of our trip—my 12-year-old is still talking about it! Jill is professional, friendly, and incredibly personable. Her car was spotless and comfortable, and we always felt completely safe in her presence and with her driving. She made the experience both fun and educational—and even managed to get my usually shy daughter fully engaged and excited about all things OBX. If you’re considering it—do it! Splurge and book this tour for the OBX fan in your life. You won’t regret it. I can’t say enough good things about Jill or the experience she created for us. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Wow!!!!! What an amazing review, Kathleen! Thank you so very much! I am sooooo happy and delighted that you, Miss Reeslyn and Miss Katelyn enjoyed your tour! I loved the girls' energy and enthusiam. Nothing makes me smile more than the exuberance of the fans having a great time! Yay! And, I'm also happy you noticed the cleanliness of my vehicle. It's super important to me that my guests "ride in style." :) I sure hope to welcome y'all back again someday. It would be so nice to see you again! Thank you so much for choosing Eclectic Tours of Charleston!!! Warm regards, Jill :)

Tristie_T, Jun 2025

Can not say enough good things about our experience with Jill. Do it!! Splurge and book this tour for your OBX fan, you won’t regret it. Highlight of our trip by far. My 12 year old is still talking about it. Jill is professional, friendly and personable. Her car is clean and comfortable and we never felt unsafe in her presence or with her driving. She makes the tour both fun and educational, and my favorite was that she got my shy girl to engage in all things OBX.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Aww, you're so welcome!!!! I am so happy you, Miss Parker and Mary enjoyed the tour! Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, Tristie! I had such a nice time with y'all. Truly!

Tour the OBX film scenes and see lots of Charleston and the area!

Susan_D, Jun 2025

Perfect way to both see the City, historical sites, surrounding area as well as focus around the Outer Banks show filming sites! It was so cool to hear behind the scenes info from tour guide Jill, who is an extra for the show. She was so much fun and even with some crazy weather, she improvised to make the tour fantastic and not miss a thing!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Oh, Susan. Yes, the weather was quite crazy that day! Ya'll were absolute sports for waiting out the monsoon rain storm. I'm so happy I was able to navigate through the flooded streets and even though the tour was looooooooong, we got it all in! I really enjoyed meeting you, Mitch, Noah and Maya. What a lovely family!!!!!!! :) Jill

Awesome tour!

Shaunell_R, Jun 2025

This was a fun we'll informative tour of where The Outer Banks is filmed filled with little hidden gems we had not seen before. Jill was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything! She answers any questions you might have and gives you a long as you like at each stop. This was a graduation gift for my son, who loves the show, so to be able to see where everything is filmed, and to hear it from someone who knows the ins and outs was what makes it so much more memorable. We loved that it didn't just include Charleston, but that we got to drive over the bridge to Mount Pleasant and see those sights as well. We are looking forward to going back and watching the show so we can now pick out all the houses and places we saw. If you are a fan of the show, and would love to see some amazing sights in Charleston, this is the tour for you!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

What a lovely review, Shaunell! Thank you! And, additional thanks to you, Nick and Giovanni for making the day SO much fun! Y'all were a fantastic group and touring guests like you makes my job all the more enjoyable. Thank you so much for choosing Eclectic Tours of Charleston! I sure hope to welcome y'all back again someday. Warmest regards, Jill :)

Absolutely awesome tour!

Kristi_M, Jun 2025

Jill was the most up beat, energetic, friendly person you will ever meet! Her attention to detail and her knowledge of OBX was great!

Thanks Jill for a great tour

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much, Kristi! I am so glad that you and wonderful Ramsey had a great time on the tour! It was so much fun for me, as well! Thanks for choosing Eclectic Tours of Charleston! And, if y'all come back, we'll definitely have to do the extended tour! Warm regards, Jill :)

Loved every minute of it!

Rens_v, Feb 2025

A must do if you are a fan of the Outer Banks series! Jill was so much fun, she know a lot about the series, but she has also tons of ‘behind the scenes’ info because she was a ‘background actor’ in all four seasons. She drives safely, has a very nice, clean car and has enough water and snacks with her. We were also in some scenes ourselves, because Jill knows exactly what happened on what exact spot. We swirled around the clock, were in a fight, ran away and were handcuffed! And: we did the pouring rain kiss scene on the dock (hubby Rens loved it… not! But he played along especially for me (Natasha). Thank you Jill for an unforgettable experience!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

As my first ever guests from The Netherlands, I want to thank you both for such a wonderful time, as well!!!! And thank you for the lovely review. You're so welcome!!! It was such a joy meeting you and I'm sooooo happy you had fun on my tour!!!!!!! Thank you so very much for choosing Eclectic Tours of Charleston! Watch for me (maybe!) in Season Five!!!! Warm regards, Jill :)
