Started with Gullah presentation. A good look into culture. House tour with Ed was hilarious. Farm tour was a nice tractor ride to see the immaculate grounds and many crops. They don't shy away from dark slave past but bring it forward to the better days of the farm as a conservation leader to the community. Solid little snack shop since will spend hours there. Oak lined road to house is alone worth it.

Sadly, I had a heart condition the day before my excursion. I contacted the guy and he said that they would not refund my money, even though my doctor said I should not go because of my heart condition. I would have loved to change the date to go a different time, but this was not an option. I’m sure the experience would have been great, but I’m disappointed that there is no allowances for people with serious medical conditions preventing them from taking the trip.

What to expect
Your visit to Boone Hall Plantation starts with transportation by climate-controlled bus from the Charleston Visitor Center. Your gate fee is included in the price of the tour.
Founded in 1681, Boone Hall was built when Englishman Major John Boone came to Charleston and established a home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek. When you arrive, your tour begins on the front porch with a 30-minute presentation by a knowledgeable guide in historical dress. You will be introduced to the history of Boone Hall and its evolution through a variety of owners since the 17th century.
Learn many facets of the plantation's history, and listen to a presentation called Slave Street, which provides a look at the living quarters, historical relics, and insight into the life of the slaves here. In addition, learn about Gullah culture, the language of the descendants of slaves who lived in the Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina. Boone Hall is the only plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry to present a live presentation, in season, about this culture.
At the end of your journey, tour the garden to see antique roses that are more than 100 years old. Then head back to the bus for the return drive to Charleston.
