I enjoyed the ride to the plantation and back. I felt secure in knowing I had someone to take me back to the city. The plantation itself was something I wanted to do and visit. A part of American history never to forget

This 5-hour tour brings you through one of the oldest plantation sites in Louisiana and provides insight into the lives of enslaved people and the troubles they faced. This is an educational experience that will stay with you for years to come. Hear about first-hand accounts from those who lived and worked on the plantation, giving you an in-depth look into this important part of American history.

Great tour. A few tips, the pick up time is when they start going from pick up point to pick up point. I don’t know why they choose the spots for you, as our was far from where we were staying and we picked people up much closer to our hotel. The van is also unmarked, which was a bit odd. The Whitey Plantation was great and would recommend.

One of the best parts of our visit to New Orleans. The audio tour was perfect and very detailed. It's important to remember our past and this tour captures it perfectly. Special shout out to our driver Derek. His commentary along the way was informative and rare among tour bus drivers. Kudos! A MUST to experience when you come to Nola.
