Worth a visit--especially with the combo deal with the museum. This house is not what it used to be, but much better than the terrible fate that awaited it. Thanks to the efforts of the preservation society, we have this house to enjoy. Most of the furnishings are not original but are period appropriate. In my case there was an overview of the history and then we were free to wander around and ask more specific questions. The staircase is something to see.

Fantastic historic site. You can get a good deal on a combo ticket at the museum across the street.

Beautifully restored home. The guides have interesting information about the home & family.

Historical house originally built for a rich planters family survived many owners and multiple attempts of demolition. The original décor is recreated nicely and the curators collected an impressive set of period-correct furniture and dining table dishes. The guides are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable

Lovely rooms, at this time unguided tours must be completed in 30 minutes. Interesting but not the best home to be viewed.

What an incredible home that has been fully restored to historical levels. The tour guides are wonderful and the furniture is historical too. Thanks for a great tour!

Lots of history, when you walk the house make sure you talk to the ladies that work there, they have lots of insight and info that makes the tour even more interesting.

Absolutely stunning! I highly recommend.

The Joseph Manigault House as a part of the Charleston Museum is a well preserved historic house that has a tour that is informative and educational. It is a good example of the history that Charleston has to offer.

Excellent tour led by enthusiastic guide. The house was decorated for Christmas which added to the experience. I would have liked more time to admire each room so will certainly return!

I enjoyed the tour quite a bit - our tour guide was outstanding and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. She knew about every piece inside the house, and was able to give an insight into what the daily lives of the owners. I wished that the original kitchen and stables were still around, but we learned that portion of the property had been sold some time ago.

Unbelievable restoration that makes you feel like it is 1840 again.

Really enjoyed visiting this house. Again, if you are a history person this is a “must see” home. To hear about all the changes this house went though over time and to top it all off it was saved by these two woman who were trying to save pieces of history.Would really recommend to go with a group of people.I have never seen a house without a bathroom lol. You will have to see what they used... unbelievable!

It was cool to tour such an old mansion but the building is in much need of some TLC. I did appreciate the tour guides knowledge on the house and I do get that era furniture is hard to find a collector pieces but it did not seem elegant as one would expect a southern mansion to be.

Nice tour but the history of the family by the tour guide was the most amazing.

Its nice that they were able to save the house, and the tour was good, but for some of the historic homes this one is much less opulent and quite a bit smaller. Not as much to see.

Enjoyed very much but is a quick visit. Guide was wonderful sharing lots of info about the house and Manigault family. Loved learning about the architecture and history of the property. Worth it as an add on to visiting the Charleston Museum right across the street.

Beautiful property with great knowledgeable guides.

Could not imagine what is was like not having indoor plumbing and no AC in Charleston SC in the summer. Interesting history on this house, that it almost got demolished to make room for Walmart. No just kidding, I think she said a parking lot.

This is a big beautifully kept house!

Very interesting home with a lot of history attached. We enjoyed the half hour tour and the gardens.

This place was interesting from a historic view of living in Charleston in the mid 1800. But I think for the money I could have seen something better

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly..

Great tour guide! So knowledgeable! Very interesting.

Had a wonderful tour of the house. The staff is very nice and very informative. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston.

We had the most knowledgeable tour guide. It made all the difference. She is a Kerean lady. Forgot her name. Ask for her, you wont be disappointed.

Really nice historic building. Loved hearing the history of it and the story of the family!

It is a nice early nineteenth century mansion. Short 30 min tour available for overview of the 1st and 2nd floor of the house. Views of the 3rd floor are not available as a result of fire code issues.

Beautiful historical home. I like that you can take pictures inside the house as there are several in the area where that isnt allowed.

Enjoyed a guided tour of this beautiful house as part of a bus tour of Charleston. The house is lovely inside and is historically furnished with antiques. The tour was really enjoyable, and brought the history of the house and Charleston to life.

Good tour .coulda done a better job restoring the interior doors of the house

Great view of life with a wealthy planter in the Charleston area.

Not worth the money. Poorly furnished. Tour boring.

Great tour, good story, beautiful historic Charleston home.

Enjoyed visiting this historical gem! Our guide was so fantastic and informative, we really appreciated the information she shared about the home, family, and general Charleston history. Purchasing the combo ticket is an awesome idea, see three different venues for one really affordable price. In the future I would really love to see the third floor restored and viewable, it would be such a great bonus!

Rich history and attempts at retaining the original.

Its pretty and has an interesting and informative tour. While finding out about the family is interesting, they dont go into much detail on the lives of the slaves that lived on the property. Whether that is due to the particular guide we had or their standard tour Im unsure. If you are interested in seeing a non standard old Charleston home with historic significance its well worth the price.

Its a fairly standard Charleston house...A rather dry guided narration was enlivened by a fascinating detective story of now the Museum Director discovered the maker of a chest of drawers.

Tour felt rushed. More information could have been given

Beautiful home with a plethora of knowledge imparted by the tour guide. I would highly reccomend this historical home tour.

This is a classic antebellum house restored to its original furniture and decor. Tour guide gave a very informative presentation about the history of the house and its owners, including how it served the war effort in WW II! Adults who appreciate history will get the most from this.

Interesting architectural elements. History of the land & building is varied. From land baron to gas station restroom. Worth seeing.

Much more interesting and attractive on the inside than the outside. Beautiful furniture and details. Too bad the 3rd floor isnt restored. Our tour guide, Carol Ann, was entertaining and extremely informative. Recommend!

Interesting place, great history, short tour and no time to look around. No sign as to where to get tickets, only that you need tickets prior to a tour. Plan about an hour.

No air conditioning, so it was very hot in June. The upstairs is off limits, so its a waste of money to only see ground floor. What we did see was okay.

Great tour, the tour guide was awesome, the history well spoken, only wish we could have gone up to the 3rd floor

Interesting and well-maintained historic house. Our guide was great.

Well worth seeing and hearing about. It really paints a picture of the extrodinary effort and importance that goes into preserving historical homes. This ones has had a number of incarnations along the way.

Beautiful 18th century home. Superb tour guide.

Great historical property. Very good tour guide. Lots of history. Across from visitors center and museum. Near bus stop.

Very interesting. Nice example of the southern homes and architecture.

Great house and tour guides offering many unique insights. If you are visiting Charleston, the house tours in Charleston are well worth the time and money. Put at the top of your list of to dos!

Very short tour, you only get to see about 3 rooms. Cant go upstairs and the tour guide was very monotone and boring.

Lovely restored home with knowledgable guide.

Good history. Was disappointed that we only toured 2 floors of the house and you dont get to see the top floor where the bedrooms were.

Beautiful. A must see

Beautiful home, but dont waste your time or money. We went for the 4:30 tour (last for the day) and went into the dining room first and the group was so large that we were at the very back of the room and could not see most of the room or the items in it. We asked to go back into the room so that we could view the room and the furniture and items in it, but were told no that the room was closed for the day(the house closes at 5 & it was 4:50!). Also the house is 3 stories and you could only view 2 floors. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!

The house is in a very good condition and the tour takes 45 min to an hour.

I lived here 200 years ago in another life !

Really enjoyed this slice of history. Our guide was a treasure. She kept us engaged, was gracious, allowed for questions, a treat.

Beautiful staircase. You have to go.

Interesting historical perspective thru a variety of decades from 1803.

Beautiful historic home, well maintained.

We purchased combo tickets to the Charleston Museum and two historical houses, this was one of them.We arrived twenty minutes before the tour began and had to wait outside for the next one to start.We came for the thirty minute tour, it was nice to learn about what life was like back then.Our tour was a bit underwhelming, but it was still interesting to see the inside of the house.If you are into architecture or Southern history, Im sure this house will be interesting to you.FYI, there were no bathrooms on property, so you will have to walk across the street to the Charleston Museum.Parking is kind of a pain in the butt in Charleston, so you will need to find a pay garage someplace NEAR here. We kept finding that these garages were full even on a weekday.

Great to look at the past and see how they would have lived. The house gives a good representation for the Federalist design during that time.

Our house guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. Even gave us recommendations of where else to visit in the area. She was so friendly and genuinely interested in the guests visiting the house and history of the house. She made this experience for us!

Visited Jan 5, 2017. Our main guide was wonderful. Loved her information. Negative? No time to absorb the features in each room, nor take pictures. I did feel rushed, but we were told a large group was coming in, and we could wait till the next half hour if we wished. Had we known this was how it would turn out, we probably would have waited. Beautiful home.

Loved the tour!! Lots of history! Beautiful house!!

Great Historical Site

Neat historic home! Helps if you purchased your ticket along with your Charleston Museum ticket to get the most bang for your buck.

One of the best house tours in Charleston.

Love history. Owned by many.

A great Federal style building. I have lived in South Carolina for 40 years and did not know about it. A must see on your Charleston tour.

I really liked the tour guides. I loved the history. Dont miss.

Cool thought of the house, but not that cool inside

Great tour with knowledgable guide.

Full of information tour was 30 min and reasonably priced.

Only the first two floors are accessible, but it is worth the 30 minute guided tour. Cool spot.. Literally the breezes that blow through the house are awesome.

Really interesting but I wish they did a more guided tour with info from room to room

Its nice inside, but you cant walk by yourself, you have to stick to guide. All people around is 50 years old ladies. What am I doing here?

Take the tour! Amazing !

Very nice and restored well, but our tour guide was kinda grumpy

Super old house

Have to visit of you love history

Good tour

One of Charlestons most beautiful and historic home museums. A great value, dont miss it!

Really cool house. Live the history. Very nice tour.

Excellent historical spot. It was very interesting.

Very interesting, lots of history to see.

Not as well preserved as the Heyward Washington House, but again, spectacular, perhaps priceless furniture and beautifully restored interiors. Interesting history, including how the house was nearly lost and how it was preserved, by hook and by crook.

Great place to learn about charleston! GO early, the tour guide seemed to be monotone and less than thrilled to be talking with us.

Great house with lots of period furnishings right next to the visitor center and the museum.

Lovely!

Beautiful house and grounds.

Great house, friendly tour guide and a lovely town.

Awesome, pretty, authentic!

The docent brings history to life...

Great place to visit..1803 house . Charleston furniture

Our guide was very thorough in describing the history of this house!

Love the old stuff
