There were 8 of us in our party. A girls weekend. The combo tour was our last activity before departing Charleston. The bus tour was nice, however our guide was very monitone and to be honest, I didnt catch much of the information. The sights were beautiful and well worth the time. The Mansion was beautiful. The grounds delightful. I would reccomend it to friends. The history is incredible.
