The picturesque beauty and architecture of the Louisiana plantations are a “must” for any visitor to New Orleans. Many of these breathtaking homes are within an hour’s drive from the city. Your tour will begin with a comfortable ride out of New Orleans where your guide will share with you the origin of the Louisiana plantations, along with the effect they had on the city of New Orleans, and its residents. Along with discovering beautiful buildings, luscious gardens and historic artifacts, these homes also represent some of the darker chapters of Louisiana history. Many of the plantations will provide a focus on the lives of the slaves that brought these homes to life, and share some of the realities of the rural south during this time in our nation’s history. Upon arrival, each plantation home has its own guide to bring you through the main house, and share its specific story. Following your home tour, we will escort you around the grounds and answer any questions that may arise.

We had an excellent customised, day-long tour of Laura and Whitney plantations, with lunch at Oak Alley. Ben was very accommodating, picking us up from our hotel and negotiating the French Quarter at rush hour at the end to drop us at Preservation Hall for a late afternoon jazz gig. He was timely, attentive, thoughtful and very engaging. We came away with some great insights into the history, geography and culture of this part of the world.

We had a wonderful tour and transportation to Oak Alley Plantation. We were picked up in front of our hotel. We had a lovely driver, John, and Ben was our tour guide.
He shared his passion for New Orleans with us on the hour drive to the plantation.
He also prepared us for our visit to the plantation and showed us some other plantations along the way. Ben has a great personality and we enjoyed our tour very much. We would use him again in our next visit.
