We had Renee for our guide and she made this a phenomenal and very educational experience . This was a Creole plantation. The home story, including the slavery was clearly presented.

Excellent and informative tour. Our tour guide, Renee, was personable and appeared extremely knowledgeable. Take note that some tours are offered in French. I mistakenly scheduled one in French, got a very handy text the next morning to verify that that was my intent, and was able to reschedule to an English language tour.

I’ve been wanting to do a plantation tour for a while now, and finally got the chance on my latest trip to New Orleans. Our tour guide Pam is very knowledgable and made our tour fun, and interesting.

Our guide was excellent. Got a good feel for life back then. Very disturbing, especially seeing how things are going in today’s world.
