Description
This haunted plantation tour treats Destrehan Plantation as the backdrop for exploring diverse people such as enslaved Africans, free creoles of color, Acadians and native Americans who shaped the unique landscape and cultural “gumbo” of Louisiana during it’s first 100 years. Hear The chilling stories left behind by the 1811 slave revolt and walk among the spirits that still inhabit the home.

Super cool tour. Very informative and attentive guide. Got some great photos with ghostly‘Easter eggs’ my 8 yr old grandson spotted when surfing through my photos….”grandma of the house was empty… who’s the man in that window?”
This tour was much more than expected! We experienced a full tour of Destrehan Plantation along with time to explore the grounds. Having visited before, this was an exciting twist being able to see everything at night. Trish was a fantastic guide, giving us the history, spirit stories and fun along the way.
This tour is so much fun. One of my favorite ghost tours of all time. Our guide Trish was so great. She was funny but also very respectful and somber during the parts of the trip that touched on the horrors of slavery. This experience was a 10/10.
Such a fun experience! Trisha was a great tour guide and very informative and hilarious! Highly recommend.
She was informative, punctual, down to earth and was funny. Did not hesitate to give more information, she was a gem and would love to have her as a guide for another tour.
The tour was informational and fun! Trish was great fun. We would definitely recommend this tour for all.
Trish was a very good guide with a wealth of knowledge of the house. She made just spooky enough to make it fun but not too scary for my 8 year old. I recommend visiting just for the history and maybe a ghost friend or two
Trish tour guide/driver was awesome!!! Friendly, and fun. Interesting and different experience from a daytime plantation tour.
Trish was a great guide. This was a fun tour. The property is stunning and it was interesting to see such a well preserved grounds/residence. I was truly impressed.
HIGHLY recommend this experience. The site itself was incredibly interesting, but Trish really made the trip. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. We toured the inside of the plantations main house, then were able to walk the grounds using dowsing rods to contact spirits. Very fun and unique experience.
