Everything was on time. Driver was fast and courteous. Slowed to let us see some gators by the entrance ramp. Would use company again.

Beautiful plantation

Overall it was a great trip. Our driver was friendly, funny and kind. The only thing we would suggest is a more time at the plantation so we can see everything.

Great trip!

An excellent tour and guide. Very interesting stories.Our driver was also very good. Allowed us time at the other plantation gift shop

Krystin was our tour guide at Laura Plantation. She did an amazing job helping us understand the Creole plantation life. Her passion for accurate history was evident. This was a lovely plantation to visit.

Pick up at the door was great. The driver was informative. The grounds at oak alley were very lovely.

Oak alley

Joseph was an extremely well informed guide who explained the culture, language and history of this Creole plantation. I learned a lot about how “family” life was so enmeshed and yet distinct. Beautiful grounds, including the poignant slave cabins.

Guides in period dress offer visitors an entertaining glimpse into the resplendent world of southern plantation life. Inside, guests will find history reflected in the many antique furnishings and works of art that grace the home's 16 glorious rooms.

The gal that did our tour was very nice. They “play” the part of the time period. She was fun and had a great personality. Unfortunately her name escapes me I think it starts with a “B”. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The garden was still beautiful even though it was winter. My 13 year even enjoyed the tour. I think it was worth the money and time.

Interesting

We absolutely enjoyed our visit to Houmas House and Gardens!This place is amazing! A MUST see attraction! We could have stayed there all day!
My booking process with TripShock was flawless & I will definitely book future activities with them.

Gorgeous Place

This plantation was the best one we visited.  The tour guide was wonderful, the atmosphere relaxed, and the gardens beautiful.  The restaurant was very pretty and had great food. Don’t miss this plantation!

Beautiful plantation home!

Very knowledgeable tourguide. Answered all of ourr questions. Highly recommend the tour!

Excellent

We loved this tour. I have three boys (ages 12, 11, & 6) who really got a lot out of this (the older ones more than the younger one) and enjoyed learning about the history. The house was gorgeous and the tour guide was so good and full of knowledge. It really was one of the highlights of our trip.

It’s a must for everyone especially in the hotter months to experience just a tiny speck of what the slaves felt! I was very put off that they offered weddings and overnights where so many were miss treated and abused. But as I stated above everyone should see and feel how disturbing these plantations were operated. I wish they talked less about how rich the owners and families were and more  memorials of the slaves that were sold like commodities and abused.

Very somber

The tour was the crown jewel of our New Orleans trip. The grounds and building were stunning, but the content of the tour itself was incredible. Our guide, Pam, interwove stories about the house, the owners, and the enslaved people held there. It felt like we were on a walk-through movie and made the tour a million times more valuable for her contextualizing the lives, decisions, and experiences within the time frame. She provided information on everything from family drama to illegally selling the children of slaves to how the homes were build and maintained over time to the process of harvesting and grinding sugar cane, creating a cohesive narrative that was informative, educational, and funny despite the frequently awful subject matter. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!!

This is a must see for all especially the new generations coming up now very educational and sad at the same time but a very important piece of history that should never be forgotten

Must see

History tour

The museum was excellent. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, I believe, it was self-guided. I'm glad, as there was a certain member in my group that I wanted to keep away from. My only complaint is the actual bus that took us there. It was very uncomfortable with rattling windows that prevented me from being able to hear the video that was playing. Closed captioning would have been helpful. I initially got on a different Grayline charter headed to Oak Alley and it was a far better appointed bus. Given that the travel distance to each location is similar, I don't understand why Whitney had the crappy bus.

I had requested AM Swamp Tour followed by Oak Alley. We did it the opposite. Made us over an hour later than anticipated on return. Paying an extra $78 to have nine people picked up 4 miles from the downtown area at an easy venue to negotiate, seemed a little excessive when I paid over $1200 for the group already. A little lagniappe may be in order for a big group for future guests. Dropping us off first instead of delving into the French Quarter to a small hotel to drop off a party of two would have been appreciated also.

Good trip, efficiency and service  average or below.
