Southern majesty meets rugged Louisiana bayou on this plantation and swamp combination tour with roundtrip transportation to and from the French Quarter. The ideal way to experience Southern Louisana's history and natural beauty, start your day off right with a visit to Destrehan Plantation, the oldest French Colonial-style house in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Historical interpreters wearing historically accurate clothing will entertain and explain the history of the Destrehan family’s sugar dynasty, its place in history, as well as the unique architecture of the mansion. Upon completion of the tour, you and your group will take a trip to the Manchac Swamp to take a leisurely swamp boat tour through a privately-owned wildlife refuge, home to American alligators, herons, and wild boars as well as the legendary “Rougarou,” the Cajun werewolf!
