We purchased our tickets through the Charleston Museum and it was a really great experience. The home is lovely, well preserved and absolutely beautifully furnished. When first built the property extended all the way to the river. It was even slated for demolition at one point but thankfully was preserved. A beautiful home and great tour.

Gorgeous historical building. Our tour guild (i think her name was Roselyn) was wonderful!
Loved the little story about the family's children's pet bird.

The Joseph Manigault House is a beautiful spot to explore, especially if you’re staying downtown. We walked over and, though we missed the tour, we still enjoyed strolling around the outside. The architecture and surroundings are stunning, making it a worthwhile visit even if you only have time for a quick walk. Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in Charleston’s history and charm

I liked this tour. It felt authentic and comprehensive for the most part. I would have liked to know a little bit more about the exterior of the home and the gardens, especially since they are maintained by a local society. Other than that, It had no drawbacks. I bundled the cost with the Charleston museum and I thought it was very affordable. Interesting architectural details that I've never seen before in other cities. I wish the third story was viewable - seems like a simple emergency exit could avert the fire code issue.

A gorgeous piece of architectural history that's been well preserved. Amazing details inside as well as interesting quirks. Impressive representation of excessive wealth of the times.
The staircase is a masterpiece that will leave you in awe and guessing how it was built.
