We bought the Heritage Passport at the Visitor's Center & took 3 downtown house tours, this was by far the best. The gardens are beautiful & once inside we found none of the stuffiness that you sometimes experience - tourists being at best tolerated for the dollars they bring in. Our guide did a great job at giving us insight... more

We gave this an average rating because we're averaging the attributes of the house with the actual guided tour. Once we began the tour we felt a little bit like we were being treated as if we were going to damage something. We can appreciate that they don't want people touching anything, but it is taken to such an extreme... more

Went to Charleston for a weekend trip, I love to tour historic places and houses. Although not as thourough as some I have been to, this was time well spent. the guides were nice, the price was right, and the walk to there from Market Street was ver nice as well. more

I am not a history buff but I enjoyed learning about the architecture of the home and getting a glimpse into what life was like in that era. Time well-spent. more

We really enjoyed our tour of the NR house. The gardens are beautiful as is the house and it's furnishings (the paint colors and moldings are crazy beautiful). Our guide was VERY knowledgeable too. I would definitely recommend it for history buffs! more

We loved the house and garden and enjoyed our tour. Admission was quite expensive, but if it goes to help with restoration, I suppose I understand it. more

This was our first restored house tour and it was very nice. The outside and grounds are nice and the little gift shop is pretty well stocked too (has water for those hot days in Charleston!). Our tour guide wasn't the best but she did enough so we could understand a little about the history here. They were really busy... more

Our 92 year old tour guide, Doty was great. This house has been (and is being) restored to it's original decor and it is interesting to see how the rich class lived then. The detailed woodwork - especially in the ceilings is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this house! more
