New Orleans Plantation Tours

The tour guide was outstanding. Beautiful plantation, well worth the visit. Nice day away from the city.

Tour guides were very knowledgeable and informative. Grounds were stunning.

I’ve always wanted to go see Oak Alley Plantation and it definitely lived up to the expectation. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the pace was great. We had time to explore the room before we moved to the next. The restaurant was amazing. I would recommend eating there after the tour. Try the 4 cheese pasta with the grilled shrimp, unbelievable

Extremely informative at both venues. Completely unaware of the difference between French and English slaves. Very inspiring to hear about the successes of woman and blacks in an age where they essentially had no rights. Wish both tours could have been longer and even more in depth.

I really enjoyed my tour the historians were full of facts and took time to answer my questions it was a great and informative experience.

Informative is the word to use about this museum. I learned a lot about the slave experience!

Great staff and remarkable home and grounds.

Logan was an excellent guide... extremely knowledgeable, with an engaging presentation. Thouroughly enjoyed this tour!

Suzanna was such a delightful tour guide at Houmas House. Not only was she informative, but sweet, polite, and patient towards all of her guests. The garden was so beautiful and serene. So many photo opportunities. We were hoping for one of the many dragon flies to rest on our shoulders for good luck, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we settled for some dragon fly souvenirs from their cute gift shop. Their gift shop has a great selection of books and children's gifts, as well. We purchased a Louisiana cookbook, which was recommended by one of the sales associates, for my mother-in-law. My husband and I had been to the Laura Plantation before, during our last visit to NOLA, but this was a special birthday trip for my mother-in-law and we wanted her to experience Laura Plantation because it reminded my husband of where they were raised on Guam. Joseph, our tour guide, was very, very knowledgeable and was great at putting everything into perspective in today’s world. In fact, my husband and I enjoyed this visit better than our first. We learned so much more this time around.

In my opinion, over priced and short. Based on the main house. No history of the rest of the property.

Wonderful day spent with a true New Orleans native whose family roots went back 300 years. Museum and map room were added delights. A peek into the past.

Our visit to the museum was enjoyable and enlightening. It was especially nice because we were treated to a guided introduction by the curator’s sister who just happened to be in the foyer when we arrived. Her passion and excitement for the displays and artifacts brought history to life.

The plantation was beautiful, the history was majestic and chilling. The live oak trees are a sight to behold. Our tour guide of the big house was knowledgeable. Our transportation by Shawn was truly a highlight, she was engaging and sweet, helped us out not only to and from but with our trip and plans in general.
