Nick was great ! Easy to get around and had tickets ready. Grounds of plantation were lovely. Wish we had a bit more time btw tours to walk the grounds

Outstanding Tour and Ride!

Published on Nov, 2024

We loved the tour of Magnolia! We visited the nature reserve, enjoyed the tour of the historic Magnolia home and also the tour the "from Slavery to Freedom". All tours were very informative! The ride to and from the plantation was fantastic. We would highly recommended this tour!

Best Touring Company in Charleston!

Published on Nov, 2024

Beyond impressed with Chicora Tours! My daughter and I wanted to see the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens but got overwhelmed trying to figure out the many tour options on the massive property. One click and Chicora Tours took care of everything! Darian came and picked us up in a beautiful Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van right by our hotel and provided us wonderful knowledge and wisdom about Charleston on the drive. Then when we arrived she gave us tickets to all the tours with times along with tips about the site. The day was perfectly planned by Chicora even including a time to grab a bite to eat at the cafe. Finally, Darian drove us back to our hotel with more interesting facts about Charleston. I cannot thank her enough; she honestly taught us more about Charleston than the previous tour guides we had on the day before on our walking tours! Also a shout out to Nick the owner of Chicora Tours who was quick to answer my many questions I emailed him. Hands down this is the best tour company in Charleston and the only one I will be using from here on out! Thanh you Darian and Nick! ❤️

Beautiful, historic and sobering

Published on Oct, 2024

Wow, what a beautiful place. We did the slavery tour and tram tour. The young lady doing the slavery tour was excellent and you could tell she was passionate about the topic and the Plantation. John did our tram tour. His charming Irish accent and knowledge were great! There was a young lady in the house gift shop that was extremely helpful and all the staff was friendly. The grounds were beautiful and we didn't even scratch the surface. We saw a wedding getting ready to start and an engagement. We also saw an alligator and several kinds of birds. Recommend. Make sure you buy tickets ahead of time to save $3.
