Overview of your Charleston tour:

Enjoy the beauty and history of the Lowcountry as you are transformed to a place that time has forgotten. In the 18th century, Charleston's wealth was legendary. Most of that wealth was in the hands of the rice planters. We'll visit Middleton Place, the most stately of all the local rice plantations and the ancestral home of one of our nation's founders. Not only will you gaze upon and stroll through the lovely gardens modeled after the finest in Europe, but you'll learn about the production of Carolina Gold and this extensive and sophisticated process brought to the Lowcountry by Africans in the early 1700s.

Your Charleston tour itinerary

I will meet you at Middleton Place, a place like no other. We'll spend 2 hours exploring the plantation, as I guide you through the magnificent landscaped gardens as well as the path following the beautiful Ashley River and picturesque flooded rice fields. We'll explore the history and culture of the planters as well as that of the enslaved people who introduced the crop to the Lowcountry. Afterward, you may wish to enjoy a nice lunch or dinner at the Middleton Place Restaurant or a sandwich or snack at the Middleton Garden Shop. Please send me a message if you would like to customize this tour.
