True historical context. Excellent knowledgeable guide. A must see if you are visiting Charleston. It was enlightening to hear the names and stories of some of the families that lived there.

Mom has always wanted to see a plantation. So during one of our many visits to MUSC we decided to stop. The ladies up front were wonderful. Kat our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the McLeod history. She was also very patient with us. I am very thankful for the extra time Kat took to make sure we were able to go inside the big house. Best wishes on your thesis.

Absolutely loved this tour! Noah was fantastic. He did a wonderful job painting the picture of what life was truly like on the plantation, it was not all hoop skirts and mint juleps. Noah gave a lot of information about the property and those that lived and worked there. The plantation and the grounds are beautiful.
