The tour guide was so informative, took her time to explain the details, history, stories behind the house. The house itself doesn’t really have that much inside but it still have all the furniture. We didn’t get to see the bedrooms and where their workers were but I think it was a good deal given the $12 price and 35-40 mins spent touring.

This Battery front home has beautiful views and a wonderful interior. Definitely a must when exploring historic Charleston!

Nice tour of the house and family history of the Edmondston and Ashton families. Is a great compliment to the Middleston Place. Loved the views of the battery from the balcony. Choose the house tour only or buy a combination ticket and go see the Middleton Plantation too!

This was a great tour for a rainy day, and a quintessential house tour of Charleston. The house itself is beautiful and the women who staff the front lobby and tours are friendly. You'll be treated to all sorts of information on the family, particularly the Alston family that still owns the property (a current descendant still inhabits the top floor of the building) and their role in the evolution of Charleston. Note that photos are not allowed inside the building. For this part of the tour, I give four stars. However, there were a few comments made by our tour guide about the Civil War insinuating that it would be better referred to by other terms (she suggested common alternatives such as "The War of Northern Aggression" and others) which added nothing to the tour but to politicize it in a way that left only a sour taste in my mouth for her, the tour, and the foundation that runs the property.
