A very interesting, thorough, and well organized tour. Our tour guide Brenda was very knowledgeable. I thought it was a good combination of guided tour and ability to roam yourself through the outer buildings. I've toured many plantations in Virginia as that's where my family's from. I really enjoyed learning the difference between the LA system and that of the rest of the US. Also, half an hour closer to NO than the he others!
This is a walking tour and there are stairs. The narrator was very knowledgeable and accommodating to me offering the elevator for bad knees. The history of how the plantation was made is awesome. Great experience.
This was a great experience are host. Jim was very knowledgeable and entertaining. This is also a very truthful experience. No sugarcoating.
The Destrehan tour is one of the best plantation tours in Louisiana. I appreciate the full attention paid to the plantation's full story - from the family who had it built (and their dramatic story) to the man who constructed the house to the lives of the enslaved to the role the Destrehan family played in the history of the United States. It is a gorgeous house. The gift shop has a lot of neat items, and the Indigo Cafe offers delicious food. Our tour guide, Jim (with one M) was delightful and never lets the tour get boring.
Jim was great. He had so much knowledge and was entertaining. Too bad this beautiful historic place had the history of the people o be rebuilt after vandals destroyed it. Make sure you check Groupon for a nice discount. Also the food in their cafe was tasty.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your tour with Jim and appreciated his knowledge and engaging presentation. We also appreciate your kind comments about the cafe. Thank you for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
An unforgettable tour filled with lots of history, that isn’t taught in school but should be, and a welcoming environment. You are with your tour guide for roughly an hour and it goes by very fast. Afterwards you get to roam freely. Our tour guide, Beverley, was an angel filled with lots of knowledge and contagious smile. Beverley emphasized they are funded by non-profit whose goal is to preserve history. If you’re a history lover this is the perfect place to visit!
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you found the tour meaningful and enjoyed learning more about the history. We appreciate your kind words about Beverly. Thank you for visiting!
We really enjoyed our tour of Destrehan Plantation. Our tour guide, Beverly, was extremely knowledgeable and fun. She even took the time to learn all of our names! The grounds are so beautiful and packed full of historical buildings and informative exhibits. Don’t miss out on the best plantation tour in Louisiana!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with Beverly and appreciated her knowledge and engaging approach. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Jim was a great guide- very knowledgeable and the time flew by!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We’re happy to know Jim’s knowledge helped make the tour memorable.
Interesting bit of history. Sadly the tour guide was not in a good mood. Sensed she had to do the tour. She was informative but lacked any emotion. An audio recording would have had more interest.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the history interesting and appreciate your comments about the tour experience. We’re sorry to hear the presentation didn’t feel engaging, and we will keep your feedback in mind as we continue working to improve the visitor experience. We hope you’ll consider visiting again in the future.
Excellent guide- Jim- very knowledgeable, shared stories, no note cards needed, very personable, experienced, answered all our questions. Ask for Jim.
Thank you for visiting — we’re glad the tour by Jim was as informative and personalized as you hoped.
