Plantation life
It was an interesting peek at life back then. The h Guides and personnel were very friendly and were able to really tell the real thing
via Viator
Great day at Boone Hall
We thought the presentations discussing slavery on the plantation and the Gullah tribe were very informative. The nature tour was also a nice way to learn about what crops are grown on the site while also seeing some animals that are on the grounds. Transportation was great and was perfect for those who don’t want to worry about organizing everything themselves. Just to note going in August can be tough at times due to the humidity and heat as we were out in the sun for a lot of the day.

Great ride and tour
We wanted to visit Boone Plantation. Booking the bus and plantation tour was the way to go. No delays, very friendly driver and compact bus.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.
Is Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 509 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston?
+
Around 178 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boone Hall Plantation Admission & Tour with Transportation from Charleston start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charleston?
+
Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charleston?
+
March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charleston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
