The setting and Oak trees were stunning and views from the balconies of the house were beautiful. However, the tour of the house was short. I appreciated the restoration of the slave quarters and exhibits that told the story of the slave experience. I learned a lot about slavery on a sugar plantation from the knowledgable docent. I wish I had more time to listen to the docent's presentation but I had to catch my bus.

Our bus operator was great and definitely tried to make up for the fact we had no tour guide. I feel like we could have done pretty much the same thing and driven out there in our own car for much less especially since we had no tour guide which we paid for. I felt some sort of refund/discount should have been given because of this. The plantation was ok. Is what it is. The line of oak trees was impressive due to their age. If those trees could talk I could only imagine the stories they would have to tell. I would have liked to have time to eat in the restaurant instead of just grabbing a cold sandwich in the Cafe. We couldn't do this because the plantation tour through the house was at a set time. Had we been able to go directly to the house upon arriving we probably could have worked in eating at the restaurant.
