The dual plantation tour was the perfect length of time and a good value. Our guide/driver was Brian. He did a great job giving us the history of the area on our way to the plantations, gave very clear directions, and was extremely friendly. Highly recommend.

Karen was our guide. She was wonderful! Gave us a tour and kept us entertained on the ride over. She also helped with those that only booked one with an add on for both.
Laura plantation was more extensive with stories. Oak Alley was more quick. Both unique in their own right. Oak Alley is more photogenic compared to Laura.

This is a very well organized tour, with good guides and safe drivers. A nice and serious company. I had a great day. I recommend to do both plantations.

Enjoyed the visits to both plantations and the guides particularly the one in Laura were excellent. The only slight issue was the bus which was like an American school bus so it was a bit rickety!
