Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Waterfront park is a must see/stroll while in Charleston. It's right on the water with lots of trees, benches, and fountains. You'll get some great photos here. If the Carnival Sunshine is in dock, then you'll see that from here as well as crew members hanging out in the park enjoying a break from the ship.

    Simply beautiful! We went in mid-March and the camilias were still in bloom and the azaleas had just started to come out. Gorgeous! We didn't get the 'combo' tickets for the gardens and house because the "house" was destroyed and so the building you go into is a small outer building that survived.

    We spent about 2 hours at the site and we did take advantage of the garden overview tour which was free and lasted about 30 mins.

    Really enjoyed touring the Fort. The ferry ride to and from the fort is very nice and educational. A must see! So much history and you will not be disappointed.

    This might be the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I did not see tour the big house or the cabins. I was actually looking for a petting zoo for a toddler, this is NOT the place for that, although the wildlife center is kinda cool. The grounds/gardens/paths/bridges/pods are just breathtaking. Flowers of every kind , everywhere, beautiful serene little spots with benches and parks that never end . It's worth the ticket, and you can come back another time in the calendar year.

    Amazing! So glad it was open. The staircase is magnificent. Self guided audio tour. Gardens are pretty even in March! Staff is super helpful. Plus there is an app for a walking tour of the city.

    The greens and gardens around this house are simply stunning! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed getting to see a house that had not been decorated and was in its natural state. The gift shop is also very nice and has some beautiful things. This is a must see!

    A town full of history, many old churches and cemeteries, sites and good place to eat. Using the free on and off bus was a great find.

    If you have done markets in other countries or cities it is the same. Local art and crafts along with some food vendors. Don’t miss the stores on the street side. There are some great ones.

    Walking White Point Gardens is certainly worth your time when in Charleston. You'll be treated to see the harbor adjacent to the historic architecture that the city is famous for. There are benches to sit on, and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the city.

    Magnificent stain glass windows enclose a mesmerising and extremely grand building with an amazing ceiling. My wife and I visited Charleston as part of a cruise and really enjoyed our stop off in this moving church. A relatively easy walk from the cruise ship terminal and well worth the effort to get there.

    Touted the oldest museum in America, its walk through time is very good. Covers the importance of Charleston for many reasons. We bought tickets that included a tour of the historic home across the street.

    Beautiful campus. The architecture of the buildings was stunning. Nice bookstore. It was graduation day there. Our daughter-in-law graduated with her Master's degree, but didn't attend the ceremony. She just had to pick up a box waiting for her at the bookstore. Because of graduation, parking was extremely difficult to find. After riding around, we did find something. I imagine that it would be a lot better any other time.
