We are experienced travelers in US and internationally. This visit was a BIG disappointment. We called earlier in the day for times of housing quarters tours and when we arrived those tours were not being offered notwithstanding we were told just 3 hours earlier on the phone they were to be offered. The tour as self guided is way over priced. In addition there is no written information provided to help with the self guided tour and next to nothing in the bookstore. Likely this is privately run property and there is minimal investment being made into the property. Unless you are a garden lover don’t waste time and money. They were also quite unapologetic about providing us incorrect information on the phone. The “Department of Interior’s” recognition is a marketing gimmick.

It seems you are reviewing Magnolia Plantation and did not go on our guided tour with Adventure Sightseeing. We have a fully guided experience with a bit of free time. It appears you went to the plantation on your own, not with our bus company. Please list your review in the appropriate place. Thank you!
