New Orleans Plantation Tours

Great time and informative tour! Krystin was the best!!!

Great tour, Kyle was a great guide.

Brett was a wealth of knowledge, he was a great tour guide!!

It was a different experience !! History is scary and how cruel people could be . The only best part is woman were trusted to follow the linage but wish...

I visited on Thursday, August 8th. Laura Plantation is beautifully maintained. Lush plants surrounding the main house & outbuildings. Our guide was...

The swamp tour was an amazing experience! Being on the bayou, in all of nature was quite refreshing. The captain was knowledgeable, and thorough in his presentation on the reptiles, vegetation, existing swamp stereotypes and life on the bayou. Plantation tour presentation was rather boring.

It was excellent. Good bus drivers, good guides!!

Great trip and guide!

Very good tour by Jessie

We really enjoyed our tour of St Joseph Plantation... We were amazed at how much work had been done to restore the plantation. Equally as amazing is the fact that three families, all descendants of plantation owners, have banded together to ensure that their plantations continue to produce sugar cane crops in the families’ tradition. Miss Diane was a wonderful and gracious guide, and is certainly not afraid of hard work. And her personal recollections and stories of her family’s history provided a unique perspective to our tour: it wasn’t just history, it was something near and dear to her heart! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and recommend this tour to anyone wishing to not only learn about the history of a plantation, but actually see one in action!

My tour guide was exceptional. Very informative and welcoming. I appreciated all of the information and being able to walk around the grounds when the tour was over. Also, the information on sugar cane farming was great! I study farming so I appreciated that piece. Thank you so much!

We took the Oak Alley and Whitney tour. We had an informative bus driver (Kintrell) who kept us very entertained. All the guides were great. It would have been nice to have been able to spend more time at each plantation, but with 2 plantations to visit, there was not enough time. Since there is not much time there, our bus driver recommended we eat at Oak Alley dehli for lunch as it takes less time than the restaurant there. Our bus guide gave us tips in places to see and places to eat while in New Orleans. We had a great time!

The Whitney and Laura Plantations were amazing. Our tour guides at both were fantastic! I highly recommend taking this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about the slave experience on a sugar plantation.

The tour was really great, lots of historic information provided in transit to and from the plantations by Dionne, and then the tours at both Whitney and Laura were great—very different plantations and perspectives for the tours. It would have been better if there had been a specific time allocated for lunch, as we had not been told about any lunch time allocated, until we asked and was told there was no specific lunch time, but we could just have to eat any snacks we brought on the bus and quickly eat something before or after tours at the plantations. Not a big problem, but communication could have been better when signing up for the tour or at the tour, so we knew what to expect. Both these plantations were very worthwhile to visit and learn.

New Orleans can be super hot in the summer and even in neighboring fringe seasons, so the best way to cover ground without tiring yourself out & dehydrating...

This tour is so much fun! It exceeded my expectations by a long shot. We did the airboat tour which was about 90 mins long. It was beautiful, fun, funny and...

Great value for money. $15 GroupOn deal for the swamp tour. Wow. The captain, a local, was chatty and could answer the few questions. We were however not...

We visited San Francisco & Houmas House plantations. They were both different, but I think being able to see both gave a better perspective. San Francisco plantation actually gave us more thorough history.

This trip was 5 star. It was great being with friends and family sharing wonderful memories. The meal at Houmas House was fabulous.

The trip was really nice. Just maybe if we could have had a 12 passenger vehicle to bring us rather than caravan in our own cars. The Houmas House was absolutely beautiful, tour guide was great, lunch was delicious. San Francisco house was nice.

The tour guide Ali was truly amazing and very knowledgeable about the plantation and it’s era. I would recommend the Whitney tour to anyone travel to New Orleans.

Such a great experience... really enjoyed the tour, so educational!!!

Very interesting and informative tour. Our tour guide was great too.

They had me at "original artifacts." I love anything to do with ancestry, heritage, history of any city. Plus, scenery was gorgeous. We went last week of September and it was very humid/hot. Grey Line Tours offered a complimentary beverage [I recommend the mint julep].
