This is a small group tour which includes a brief driving tour of Charleston's Old and Historic District and one of Charleston's premier plantations. Your guides Mike and Nancy are licensed city guides who's lived in the historic district for more than 30 years. One of them will provide you with interesting historic facts and amusing stories of 300 year old traditions that exist in this wonderful city today. Mike and Nancy are considered to be two of Charleston's premier guides. See why Charleston's leading hotels recommend Mike and Nancy to their guests. Then on to Middleton Place Plantation, the most authentic of all of the public plantations in the area and by far the most historic.

The Middleton Place tour is an all-inclusive experience at one of Charleston’s most beloved historic sites. Travel in a comfortable Ford Transit van with a maximum of 12 guests and a licensed guide.

We offer transportation for Private Groups and Families to explore all that the Charleston Area has to offer. Enjoy a beautiful ride up the Spanish Moss Canopied River Road to the historic Plantations in West Ashley. Each offers a unique perspective on antebellum life and educational programs for all ages.

Visiting both Middleton Place Plantation and Drayton Hall on the same tour offers travelers a richer and more complete perspective of Charleston’s history and heritage. Though located close to one another along the Ashley River, each site tells a very different story. Middleton Place is renowned for its breathtaking landscaped gardens, living history demonstrations, and preserved grounds that highlight the lifestyle and agricultural achievements of one of colonial America’s most influential families. In contrast, Drayton Hall is celebrated for its architectural purity as the finest example of Palladian design in the United States, preserved in its original 18th-century state without modern alterations. Together, these plantations allow visitors to experience both artistic beauty and architectural grandeur, while also engaging with the deeper historical narratives of the Low country, including the lives of the enslaved who made these estates possible.
