The tour guide was knowledgeable and answered questions easily, non scripted. The information was interesting, the stories were great, the gardens amazing, and the house artifacts were lovely.

Our visit to Houmas House was wonderful. Such a beautiful plantation and gorgeous grounds. We had a very fun and informative guide and her name was Susanna. Hopefully you'll get her as she clearly loves what she does and has lots of stories to share. We learned so much in a short amount of time. She's a gem! PS: eat at the Carriage House restaurant...beautiful inside and tasty food too.

Traditional plantation house with full guided tour. Great to hear about the evolved design of the house and the activities of its owners. Landscaped grounds are lovely to walk through. We understand that this house had a good relationship with its slaves and gifted them land when the regime came to an end, therefore there isn't so much on the history of slavery it's very much about the house. Allow a couple of hours to visit. There is also a cafe. At the time of our visit it closed at 2pm, had assumed it might be open later and this is the only food outlet so keep the timings in mind. Note the Great River Road museum is not included in the main house ticket price, we decided not to pay the extra.
