Informative tour. Great staff. Gorgeous grounds. Overall great experience. We then watched the Harriet movie and were able to point out familiar structures from our tour.

Our tour guide, Crystal, was excellent. She was knowledgeable about the plantation - it was obvious that she did her research, she was excited to share what she knew and was able to answer our questions. We didn't feel hurried and enjoyed walking around the plantation grounds, taking in all that it had to offer. It looks like there is still a lot of work to do but we understand it takes funding and time. I would love to see gardens in full bloom but unfortunately we weren't there at the right time.

Great place and beautiful estate. A bit disappointed by the tour guide. She is super friendly but she talks way too fast for foreigners
to understand half of what she says ( I am reasonably good in English…)
This said, I would definitely recommend a visit to friends. Best regards.
