He was very knowledgeable about the marine life and pointed out all kinds of things that were interesting. Glad we did 8 am before it got too hot. It was easy to paddle at low tide and a tiny bit more challenging as the water raised throughout the morning. The office answered phones when I called and did billing and waivers in advance so it was pretty seamless.

There is parking available outside the fence or handicap parking is located within the perimeters. The Angel Oak is a massive tree and certainly impressive to see in person. It is a protected tree, so there are some roped off area and signs requesting you to be respectful of the grounds, roots, limbs, etc. There is a picnic area within view of the tree. As you are heading out, stop by the little gift shop!

My daughter and I had just arrived and made it halfway to the tree when the security guard aggressively approached my daughter and said, "You can take your water bottle to the picnic area!" We are not used to being addressed that way, and I said it wasn't necessary to be rude. I had my husband take the water bottle to the picnic area. Then the guard told my daughter and I we could leave once we take our picture. We traveled half an hour to see the tree, and I told him I wasn't leaving until I was ready. A group of white women were closer to the tree than we were, and they had multiple water bottles laying on the ground. The same guard approached them with a friendly demeanor and told them the policy was that they couldn't have drinks in the area, and asked them to out them in the picnic area. Completely different treatment. He continued to run his mouth directing displeasure towards me and my daughter. Interesting how black men can disrespect black women in places like this.

I really wanted to love this winery, as the location is quite charming and the staff was friendly…read more Unfortunately, the wine itself just didn't hit the mark for us. The winery has a large property with plenty of space to explore, including what appears to be a small farm with chickens and pigs. On a warm day, the outdoor seating areas with games would likely make for a lovely experience. However, when it came to the wine tasting, the samples were served in plastic cups, which some may actually prefer. But for us, it took away from the overall experience. And most importantly, the wines themselves just didn't impress our palates. We tried a variety of their offerings, but nothing really stood out or compelled us to purchase a bottle to take home. It's a shame, because the setting is really quite nice. But at the end of the day, the wine is the most important factor, and this winery missed the mark for us on that front. If you're in the area and want to spend some time outdoors in a charming environment, it could still be worth a visit. But I wouldn't go out of your way, especially if you're a serious wine enthusiast.

I'm happy to say I'm bumping my review up from three stars to four after giving Old South Carriage…read moreCompany another chance. During my first visit to Charleston a few years ago, I took one of their daytime carriage tours and left feeling... underwhelmed. I didn't learn all that much, the tour wasn't especially memorable, and I wrote that I'd rather have explored the city on foot. Fast forward to my most recent visit when one of my friends wanted to do the Haunted Carriage Tour. Since it was something different, I happily went along and I'm glad I did. Our horse, Ron, was a 2,000 pound French Percheron and wow.... talk about a workhorse! From what I observed, the horses seemed well cared for despite the small stable. It was fun learning a little about Ron before we set off. Our guide, Matt, was informative, engaging, and did a great job mixing Charleston history with the haunted stories. While I'm not really into ghost tours, I still learned quite a bit. In fact, my favorite takeaway wasn't haunted at all - it was learning the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. This tour also had a digital component as we were prompted to scan the QR code to see photos of the individuals/"ghosts" he was talking about. The tour also gave us another opportunity to see Charleston from a different perspective and this time around I enjoyed riding through the historic streets by carriage. Overall, this experience was much more enjoyable than my first. The company clearly has these tours down to a science and if you're deciding between a daytime tour and the haunted evening tour, I'd surprisingly recommend the latter. I'm glad I gave Old South another chance.
