They are funny and kind as well. My daughter was visiting from NYC to help me unload these reproductive boxes( feels like that anyway) and I decided to take her on a carriage tour. She was adamant that I investigate what company treats their horses the best., Here we landed! What a lovely place. The barn I mean. I so enjoyed hearing about the horses, their history and work schedules and requirements. Made us feel like we made a great decision. Dick ( Richard) and Dutch ( horse) were great! Very informative and loved hearing about the history and homes of Charleston. My kids were both born in North Charleston , but it's been a long journey to get back. It was really an exceptional tour and I felt completely safe and confident that these horses were treated beautifully. Do it! I didn't feel like anyone was sitting on my lap and I did like that even though they knew who lived in those crazy gorgeous homes, they did not divulge the names of their occupants., I could go again tomorrow. There are four different routes and it's by lottery which tour you go on , so you can really be a repeater!

The price was very fair and reasonable compared to the other companies. I highly recommend.

Free street parking on Sunday as long as you don't park in the one hour residential designated streets. Scott was our local tour guide for the historical tour of Charleston. He was on time. Before the tour started he informed everyone of the bathroom situation. On our two hours tour he made sure our group didn't block the narrow sidewalks. The historical tour included stops in front of - * St Philips church * Dock Theater * the Old Slave Mart * the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon * the harbor * the old city wall * Rainbow Row * Nathaniel Russell house The tour was a great way for us to familiarize ourselves with the historical district. Then on our own we picked and chose where we wanted to spend more time. Scott offered places to dine suggestions. We actually went to one he suggested on Sullivan Island. He's passionate and offers a thorough tour within the two hours timeframe.

This 738 acres farm was beautiful! I spent nearly four hours exploring. I stopped by the visitor center after parking and was given a map. This is where you schedule the tour of the main house (not the original). The tour runs every 30 minutes. You can view the first floor and huge patio in the back. It's worth checking out. After exited the house tour I saw a 600 year old tree by the water. Then the staff advised to head to the parting lot and hop on a trailer being pulled by a tractor for a tour of the property and a history lesson. I learned so much and enjoyed the ride. While taking in the visual beautiful I couldn't help but think about its somber beginning. The crops worked by the enslaved started with cotton and indigo (premature deaths due to the urine used in production). Then the crops were switched to pecans. I told you I learned a lot LOL! There were sessions at different times and places throughout the property offering more history. I also enjoyed a stroll through the gardens which were spectacular and in full bloom at the time I visited Memorial Weekend. They also had several enslaved homes to tour as well as one that was used as a church. And the Visitor Center, in the original cotton mill, included a small museum which housed the original cotton gin. There was a cafe with a small menu, snacks and souvenirs. You can truly spend hours. They were setting up a wedding on the house grounds with the reception being held at the Dock House (be sure to check this out too). Weddings are scheduled to start when visitors are leaving. If you're interested in American history and love to explore the outdoors I highly recommend checking out Boone Hall Plantation.

I purchased the Tea Service ahead of time. Everyone was very friendly but I will say, overly cautious. I had indicated that I have a tree nut allergy on the notes when I booked our reservation and I have never had an establishment refuse me service because of my allergy , but they did. For the life of me I couldn't understand why a slight adjustment couldn't be made to remove almonds from one tiny dish. They also refused to serve one of my daughters for a lactose intolerance note. I assured them it was ok and I had a lactaid for her to take, she'd be fine. I had only included that note because SOME places will offer alternatives. Ultimately, they served us but I had to sign a waiver, never have I ever until now. Most of the tea service items were very good with the exception of the tiny lemon chess pie which was curdled and tasted of rotten eggs, awful. The tea was excellent and the scones and curd and cream were great too. The area where the dining room is, is nothing fancy at all. It was decent but I was truly disappointed as I was hoping for something more extravagant for tea service. The plantation home, while nice was also truly underwhelming. Great history, good tour guide who was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller, but the house was not anywhere near as fancy as others I have visited. I think what was the biggest let down was that this was the first time my daughters were visiting any plantation home and it was not at all what I was hoping for them to see and experience. If I had known what it looked like more ahead of time, I would have chosen another location in the area. Pictures inside the home are not allowed.
