1.00Tour Guide never introduced himself, (Jack Walker). He was very disorganized and disoriented about the day's events. Stated he didn't make the time schedule. Tour needs more time to explore the mansion and grounds. we were rushed the entire time. won't go back to this company for a tour.

3.00Magnolia plantation is not ADA compatible. I went on the tour with my mother and she couldn’t enter on the bottom floor of the house because of the stairs. Not worth the price of the tour. A suggestion for the future is maybe the tour guide can give out maps.
Great tour.
