Tour privato delle due piantagioni di New Orleans: Oak Alley e Laura
Descrizione
La bellezza pittoresca e l'architettura delle piantagioni della Louisiana sono un "must" per ogni visitatore di New Orleans. Molte di queste case mozzafiato sono a un'ora di auto dalla città. Il tour inizierà con un comodo giro fuori da New Orleans, dove la guida condividerà con te l'origine delle piantagioni della Louisiana, insieme all'effetto che hanno avuto sulla città di New Orleans e sui suoi abitanti. Oltre a scoprire splendidi edifici, giardini lussureggianti e manufatti storici, queste case rappresentano anche alcuni dei capitoli più oscuri della storia della Louisiana. Molte piantagioni si concentreranno sulla vita degli schiavi che hanno dato vita a queste case e condivideranno alcune delle realtà del sud rurale durante questo periodo nella storia della nostra nazione. All'arrivo, ogni casa della piantagione ha la sua guida per condurti attraverso la casa principale e condividere la sua storia specifica. Dopo il tour di casa, ti accompagneremo nei dintorni e risponderemo a qualsiasi domanda possa sorgere.

Itinerario
"La grande dama di River Road". Forse la piantagione più fotografata della Louisiana, questa casa fu costruita nel 1839 e originariamente si chiamava Bon Séjour (piacevole soggiorno). A causa del viale di un quarto di miglio di 28 gigantesche querce che conducono alla casa, i passeggeri del battello a vapore lo soprannominarono "Oak Alley".
Laura: A Creole Plantation offre un tour di 70 minuti basato su 5.000 pagine di documenti dell'Archivio nazionale francese relative alle famiglie libere e schiavizzate che vivevano qui. Le guide condivideranno i racconti avvincenti e reali di 7 generazioni di abitanti creoli di Laura Plantation. Con 11 strutture iscritte nel registro nazionale, Laura Plantation offre agli ospiti la possibilità di esplorare la sua casa padronale recentemente restaurata, i giardini formali e l'orto, il bosco di banane e le sue autentiche case creole e cabine per schiavi. Laura Plantation è famosa per le storie dell'Africa occidentale, ex schiavi della casa legati al folclorista Alcée Fortier. Registrate nelle cabine degli schiavi qui negli anni 1870, furono in seguito rese popolari in inglese e divennero le "Storie di coniglio di Rab".

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!
