John is an excellent guide! This tour is unique and so well done; it provided a much needed perspective on Plantation life from the Gullah people.

Best experience of our trip. No minced words at the atrocities that occurred here and the ramifications for generations to come. It was a chilling and sobering learning experience. Our guide was incredible (wish I had his name for a shout out!).

I am quite surprised by the number of reviews stating their surprise (and often anger) regarding the inclusion of slavery into the tour. It is a plantation, and like all others, relied on slavery to operate. Only tours failing to provide the full scope of a plantation's history would not discuss it. This is why I think this tour did an amazing job of providing a detailed history of the McLeod Plantation, which very well reflected the the overall history of the times. Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. He did a great job of telling the history as it happened, regardless of opinions people might have on the information. Overall, this was one of the most interesting and informative experiences of our trip.

Our experience at the McLeod Plantation was very informative, eye opening and extremely moving. Itsa was our guide who had extensive knowledge, was personable and honest about the sensitive truths of the past. He spent a significant amount of time explaining in depth the history and in answering any/all questions that each person in the group had ensuring we all had a full understanding including the difficult topics. He pointed out such things as fingertip impressions in the bricks left behind by those who were enslaved and forced to make the bricks including small children. We walked the grounds stopping at each building; Dairy & Kitchen, Cotton Gin House, Worship House and ultimately the McLeod Home where we would get the full story of what occurred at each dwelling and the hours and responsibilities those enslaved would endure. He pointed out the various tree planting and explained their importance such as the camphor tree, pecan trees etc. We also stopped and gathered at the front of the estate where there was a small sea cotton field planted. Itsa explained that the enslaved would be standing there for 16 hours a day pulling the cotton from the plants ultimately filling 100 lb. bags. We got to experience vicariously thru Itsa narrative how brutal their lives were. We also got to look into the homes of the enslaved too. After the tour ended, we were able to step into the main house, McLeod House and walk around the first floor and imagine what it must have been like. This tour was an experience that I will not long forget. It was enriching and informational and would highly recommend this plantation. Be sure to ask for Itsa as he possess a tremendous amount of knowledge and made the experience worth it!

We have toured McLeod Plantation several times over the years and have always enjoyed the tour and tour guides but this tour guide was terrible. The guide needs to reconsider his talk because it was barely informative. Our guide, Paul, stated that it would be a 45 minute tour but it was barely 30 minutes. He spent 10 minutes asking where people were from, repeating what they said and asking how they decided to tour McLeod. He kept referring to the plantation as a “privately owned slave work camp” or something to that effect. We all know slavery was a horrible institution. He went off on a tangent about the KKK. He never explained the daily life of the people who lived and worked there. He never explained any of the buildings except to say “ that’s the cotton gin building, that’s the kitchen” , etc. Paul kept asking if people had questions and when someone asked a question, he said “ I’ll answer it later, it’s part of my talk”. He should have just waited to answer questions at the end. I felt terrible for a couple from Sweden who may not have known much about plantations and slavery. They didn’t know anything more after this tour. I was embarrassed that I brought a friend from out of town telling her beforehand that we always had great tours here. The park service should really think about whether they want Paul representing them.

Not worth the $20. Can’t even go up to the 2nd and 3rd floor of the main house. The guided tour ended so we had to go ourselves. Should’ve been at least let half price. Would NOT recommend this!!

Toby was our guide and she was outstanding! So informative and friendly. She even took some time to get to know the people on her tour. I learned about the uses of Spanish moss by the enslaved, and saw where the enslaved lived, perhaps 10-20 people to a small dwelling, compared to the "big house" where their enslavers lived. I also learned about the homegoing celebrations of life that the enslaved did for those who died, often from exhaustion and lack of nourishment. I got to pick a piece of cotton and see how difficult it was to do so quickly and without pricking one's finger.
What I appreciated about this former plantation is that they tell the unadultered story of life on this site. It was what I came to Charleston to learn more about. I am grateful that McLeod is there and highly recommend this if you are going to see any of the former plantations.

This was an absolutely amazing tour, that was really well done. Allen (or Allan, not sure of the spelling), was an absolutely fantastic tour host. He didn’t shy away from any unpleasant truths, and absolutely would not speculate on any unproven facts or theories that may or may not have occurred on the plantation …really professional! Well worth a visit.

A beautiful property and some great eye opening information on what life was truly like during the plantation era. Was shocked to hear that the slave cabins were occupied by migrants working the plantation in the summers ip until the early 1990’s.

I’ve visited all of the plantations in the Charleston area. The tour at McLeod by Paul was the best by far. Paul was so well versed in the history of the plantation and the area as well as the political climate of the times. His honest and accurate depiction of slavery in SC was appreciated.

I'm here to post my response to theswampfox's review which criticizes the tour guide's description of the southern plantation as a labor camp. Swampfox asserts that the term "labor camp" is only to be used in association with the 1940s Jewish Holocaust. Nonsense! Forced labor camps have occurred in many other places and times in human history, including the southern United States where enslaved Africans and Caribbeans and their descendants built their owners' wealth in bondage. A labor camp is well-defined as a technical entity, and they are certainly not restricted to the 1940s Holocaust. Please keep educating your visitors in plain, unadorned language on the fundamental (ugly) truth behind the genteel South, and the origins of the pre-Civil War era economy, built on the free labor of enslaved people. Thank you!

How much time do i allow/need for a group of ten?

90 minutes should be plenty of time. The tour was about 30 minutes, and the grounds are rather small. So the additional hour would allow for some browsing in their little shop, a peek into the first floor of the home and the slave cabins, some photos of the beautiful live oaks, and a potty break. The slave cemetery (across the street) has not been marked and uncovered yet, so there's not much to see.
I would call ahead to see if you can get your own tour guide.
Also, our guide (Olivia) recommended Gillie's Soul Food on Folly Rd. as a good place to get some Southern comfort food.
Enjoy your visit!

McLeod Plantation is part of the Charleston County parks and recreation system and is closed Christmas Day, but you may call (843) 762-9514 to get hours for around Christmas. Generally they are open with tours daily.
Is the tour a walking tour? or is there a motorized tour ?

Walking, but the guide can take up to three people in the motorized golf cart. Also, there is an elevator for getting into the main plantation house. Drive-up entrance to the entry building makes it easy for wheelchair, walker, and/or cane assisted people to get in. The out buildings and grounds are also available via the guide's golf cart.
