of rich history. Guides are stationed at each tour
site to provide information about its history and
architecture or plants and garden design. Guests will

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your house and garden tours sell out? Can we purchase
tickets once we arrive in Charleston? Many tours do sell out,
so we recommend purchasing tickets well in advance. We will
happily sell tickets to any of our tours as long as they are available (learn more on page 22). Please be advised that we have a no
refunds policy.
Where do we park? Where is the nearest restroom?
The closest parking and restrooms will vary by tour. Please reference the map on page 3 to address your specific tour. We are
proud that Charleston is a “living” city, and our tours take place
in residential neighborhoods. Therefore, public facilities and vendors within those neighborhoods are limited by city ordinances.
Please take advantage of the restrooms at the Festival Ticket
Office, 108 Meeting Street, prior to your tour.
Will the tour take the entire three hours allotted? Our tours
are self-paced, so it is possible for a tour to take less than three
hours. We advise that you begin promptly at the start time so that
you can see everything offered on that particular tour.
May we take pictures on tour? In accordance with South
Carolina state law and to protect the safety and security of the
homeowners, photography is not allowed in the houses and
gardens on tour (learn more on page 22).
What happens if it rains? Our tours go on rain or shine. If
weather is a concern, please feel free to bring an umbrella.
