New Orleans Plantation Tours

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.

Both were excellent. The guides were well versed on the plantations. Laura was my favorite. It was interesting to see the difference between the creole and Anglo plantations.

This was probably the most informative tour I have ever taken. Jacob, I think that was his name:) was the best tour guide I have ever had. He was at the Laura plantation. I learned so much and immediately went to the library afterwards to learn even more!

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.

Tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable and kept tour fresh and engaging. Knew her stuff!!

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.
