Spend the day along River Road visiting Louisiana’s most famous plantations. Laura Plantation: A Creole Heritage Site...
This tour looks perfect to me. We visited both plantations and learned a lot about their history. Even the drive itself was enjoyable because of the scenery around. The roads built in the swamps are very impressive!
The only suggestion is regarding the pic up procedure. Standing for 30 minutes on the street is not very comfortable. I believe that the driver (or the company operator) could send messages to the participants to indicate a more exact time. Alternatively, we could wait in a hotel lobby and the driver would call us when required. Such practices are used in Cancun and elsewhere.
Seeing the plantations was exciting and informative. I's like to make a special commendation to Pam, our guide at Laura Plantation. She was entertaining and completely captivating, making the history of the people and the place come alive. I'll recommend the tour to anyone I know who is going to New Orleans.
Our driver Enika was great! She was knowledgeable and accommating. I enjoyed the tours but was under the impression we would have more time at each plantation. We were rushed through Oak Alley and had no time to ask questions.
