Perfect tour to see what life was like on a plantation

A MUST VISIT WHILE IN CHARLESTON
David_H
, May 2022
My wife and I just completed a 7 day visit to Charleston, during which we visited two plantations. Middleton and Magnolia. They both had their unique beauty, but if we had to choose only one it would probably be Middleton. In addition to the history associated with this plantation and the impressive geometrical gardens, the food in the restaurant alone was worth the trip. Their fried chicken is the best I've ever had anywhere.............including in Charleston's downtown with many restaurants famous for their fried chicken. The plantation itself is beautiful and there a volunteers walking around who are anxious to share additional information about the place's history. It is a trip worth taking, and the tour we took included transportation from the Visitor's center in an air conditioned van with a city certified tour guide driver who also provided us with fascinating stories about what we going to see. Glad we took this tour!

Lovely visit. Perfect amount of time to see everything, have lunch, and stop in the gift shop. Our driver was personable and knowledgeable. We had expected a guided tour, but it was self-guided for the most part with a brochure except for a short introduction to the family upon arrival. The family/foundation has done a lot of research on the slaves who kept the plantation running and have a nice display in Eliza's House. Timing would have been better to have visited in late March as the azaleas and camellias were no longer blooming, and there were few other flowers. The aerial picture is much better to see the amazing landscaping, but the paths and gardens are enjoyable. Highlight was seeing the baby lambs.
A Treasure of the low country!

From the moment we entered, a feeling of peace and serenity enveloped us. The majestic live oaks are certainly to be treasured. Lunch was a flavorful representation of low country cuisine. The docents were knowledgeable and personable. The research done to acknowledge the contributions of the slaves was impressive. Middleton was a wonderful experience!

This was a great tour from start to finish. We met up with the Pineapple Tour bus at the Charleston Visitor Center which was beautiful.
Our tour guide Neil was full of energy and knowledge.
The Middleton Plantation was full of beauty and history. The lunch was delicious and the waitress was excellent. We enjoyed sitting with our tour mates,

Beautiful Middleton Place Grounds
Theresa_A
, Jan 2022
This was a very good tour. The food at Middle Place restaurant was delicious. I got the shrimp & grits. The grounds are beautiful. We had a small group tour of the main house. It was also nice to be able to explore the grounds on my own. However, I do have 2 recommendations. My first one would be that the tour bus driver accompany the group to the restaurant (if this is a tour with lunch). It was a little confusing on which way to go. Most of us went the wrong way. My second recommendation would be that the whole group sit together. This way we could get to know each other a little bit.
The staff at the restaurant was a disorganized. We had to wait to be seated. I understand that you have to wait to be seated, but if we are in the group from Pineapple Tours and tell them that, they should be prepared. They ran out of silverware so we had to use plastic utensils until, they got more silverware.
Overall, this is a very good tour. The bus driver was on time.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
