    We enjoyed our trip to Magnolia Plantation. The guide, Alan, was very informative on the drive out. Millie delivered a great presentation through the house. The tram through the gardens was ok. John did a fantastic job with the slavery to freedom presentation of the cabins. Peacocks were very comfortable walking up to people. We had just the right amount of time to walk around and take pictures or grab a soda.

    Great experience with knowledgeable tour guide. Beautiful location with tram tour, house tour, garden tour. We had plans in Charleston in the afternoon so had to leave early. We thoroughly enjoyed the elements we were able to finish.

  • Great Opportunity to See a Southern Plantation

    We would recommend this tour! The drive out to the plantation was very pleasant in a mini bus leaving from the visitor center. There were several activities including a nature trolly, tour of the plantation house and historical lecture to accompany the slave houses. There is a cafe which is spendy and basic-hot dogs, etc.
