The tour is suitable for school children. The guides are quite knowledgeable, and can tailor the tour to guests’ interests and ages. Ask more questions, you’ll get more information. The tour takes you around the plantation, and each building has a history and a role in plantation life. There are small things to notice and learn from at each building. There are fingerprints in the handmade bricks and burn marks. Bits about Gullah-Geechee culture are taught also.

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!
