Boone Hall Plantation Tour from Charleston


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 plantations 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.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingDrinks are available for purchase at PlantationNot wheelchair accessible, but those with limited mobility are welcome if they can be assisted by a companionNo service animals are allowedInclusionsAll gate feesPickup and drop-off from designated meeting pointAir-conditioned busesProfessional driverSelf Guided Garden Tour, historic slave cabins,Tram tour (based on availability)Plantation House Tour with guide in historical dressGullah Theater presentation by costumed performerExclusionsFood and drinksHotel pickup and drop-offDeparture PointCharleston Visitors CenterDeparture TimePlease arrive 15 minutes before selected tour timeDuration4 hours 30 minutesReturn DetailsReturns to original departure pointVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an elec
