Private New Orleans Double Plantation Tour : Oak Alley und Laura
Beschreibung
Die malerische Schönheit und Architektur der Plantagen in Louisiana ist ein Muss für jeden Besucher von New Orleans. Viele dieser atemberaubenden Häuser liegen eine Autostunde von der Stadt entfernt. Ihre Tour beginnt mit einer gemütlichen Fahrt von New Orleans aus, wo Ihr Guide Ihnen die Herkunft der Louisiana-Plantagen sowie die Auswirkungen auf die Stadt New Orleans und ihre Bewohner mitteilt. Neben der Entdeckung wunderschöner Gebäude, üppiger Gärten und historischer Artefakte gehören diese Häuser auch zu den dunkleren Kapiteln der Geschichte Louisianas. Viele der Plantagen werden einen Schwerpunkt auf das Leben der Sklaven legen, die diese Häuser zum Leben erweckt haben, und einige der Realitäten des ländlichen Südens während dieser Zeit in der Geschichte unserer Nation teilen. Bei der Ankunft hat jedes Plantagenheim seinen eigenen Führer, der Sie durch das Haupthaus führt und Ihnen seine spezifische Geschichte erzählt. Nach Ihrer Heimreise begleiten wir Sie auf dem Gelände und beantworten eventuelle Fragen.

Reiseverlauf
"Die Grand Dame der River Road". Dieses Haus, das wahrscheinlich die meistfotografierte Plantage in Louisiana ist, wurde 1839 erbaut und hieß ursprünglich Bon Séjour (angenehmer Aufenthalt). Wegen der Viertelmeilenallee mit 28 riesigen, lebenden Eichen, die zum Haus führten, nannten Dampfschiffpassagiere es „Oak Alley“.
Laura: A Creole Plantation bietet eine 70-minütige Tour an, die auf 5.000 Seiten Dokumenten des französischen Nationalarchivs basiert, die sich auf die freien und versklavten Familien beziehen, die hier lebten. Guides teilen die überzeugenden, realen Berichte von 7 Generationen kreolischer Einwohner von Laura Plantation. Mit 11 im Nationalregister eingetragenen Strukturen bietet Laura Plantation seinen Gästen die Möglichkeit, das neu restaurierte Herrenhaus, den formellen Garten und den Gemüsegarten, den Banana-Land-Hain sowie die authentischen kreolischen Cottages und Sklavenhütten zu erkunden. Laura Plantation ist am bekanntesten für die westafrikanischen Geschichten der ehemaligen Sklaven des Hauses, die mit dem Folkloristen Alcée Fortier verwandt sind. In den 1870er Jahren in den Sklavenkabinen hier aufgezeichnet, wurden sie später in englischer Sprache populär gemacht und wurden zu "Tales of Br’er Rabbit".

Benjamin picked us up on time. He was courteous, knowledgeable, very friendly. He has a great depth of knowledge of the area. With many tips on sites, out of the way bars and nightlife. He did food reviews of all the Gumbo offerings in New Orleans and posted on YouTube. He was delightful and I highly recommend the tour
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! It was a joy spending the day with you and I am so glad you had a great time. Please reach out next time you are in NOLA!
Just wonderful worth every penny felt like a old friend taking us out for the day and sharing his history
We started with a full day tour of the Oak Alley and Laura Plantations. We did stop at other plantations along with way to take pictures and to hear the stories. Mr. Borden is so knowledgeable about the histories and the current status. Amazing narrator. The next day he took me on a half-day tour of New Orleans. I particularly liked the cemeteries and their histories. The houses and their histories were also wonderful. Mr. Borden operates a fantastic service-oriented business. The attention to details (he had umbrellas and ponchos, plus water, etc.) was amazing. The vehicle was immaculate and very comfortable. I enjoyed every minute of his lectures/stories and general conversation. We started with a full day tour of the Oak Alley and Laura Plantations.

Benjamin did an excellent job. We were picked up promptly at the scheduled time in front of our hotel. Ben’s knowledge of the history of the area was extremely insightful and the one hour drive to the plantations literally flew by as he told us various stories of the history of the area. The plantation tours were very informative and interesting. I would highly recommend Benjamin and his company if you plan to do any tours in the New Orleans area.
We had a fabulous day! Benjamin picked us up at our hotel. He had chilled waters for us which were much appreciated. We then visited Oak Alley and Laura Plantation. Benjamin gave us some great history and interesting facts on the drive. When we were at the plantations, he arranged tours for us, told us about different things to see there, and made sure we knew what time and where to meet him. We will absolutely book with him again when we return!
Had a lovely relaxed tour with Ben. He personalised our tour with an airport pick up, and drop off at our hotel and our choice of plantations. Tours with docents at the plantations were included in the price. Pick up and drop off were on time and he took us to Oak alley for a lovely lunch. Lots of chat and bits of info on the drives in between - highly recommended
Great choice . Ben was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He can't control any shortfall in expectation of some of the attractions, but he certainly can provide other unexpected highlights to compensate. As a local he knew his history of NOLA and it's surrounds. Highly recommended for which ever tour you choose.
Great experience. A must see for anyone interested in New Orleans history. A look back in time. Would do it again.
The plantation tours were great. Laura plantation is definitely one to visit. We booked our trip with Ben, who was absolutely wonderful. He's such a nice and personable guy. I highly recommend booking tours with Ben if you plan on visiting the plantations.
The plantations were beautiful, guides great and Ben was delightful! He was very well informed, very friendly, articulate and great driver!
