Learned more about slavery and slave and plantation life at the Laura Plantation. Guide was great. Was able to photograph inside and out. No free time to wander about. All guided but well done. Oak Alley Plantation has a good deal of time for self guiding around the entire grounds. Guided tour of the "Big House" was short but well done. A lot more focused on the family that lived there and NO PHOTOGRAPHY inside. A little more like a museum setting.

The plantations were beautiful! We really enjoyed our tours, especially our guide at Laura Plantation. Very informative! Karen was a great guide with Cajun Encounters. We really enjoyed her stories and information while on the bus. We stood in front of Homewood Suites on Rampart Rd but the shuttle was parked in the back. Thankfully Karen came around and found us!

Justina was a great driver and explained everything clearly. Great service, good pricing, and overall it was a unique, first time experience of a tour.

I really enjoyed these plantation tours. The tour bus driver was very pleasant. The tour of the Laura plantation was excellent. The guide at the plantation was very detailed and provided a great deal of info. Oak Alley was beautiful but the tour was only of 4 rooms in the house and lasted less than an hour. It was fine for what it was. I’d recommend this tour instead of being confined to the French Quarter. It gives a very honest account of the history in the South.
