Privétour door New Orleans met dubbele plantage: Oak Alley en Laura
Beschrijving
De schilderachtige schoonheid en architectuur van de plantages in Louisiana zijn een "must" voor elke bezoeker van New Orleans. Veel van deze adembenemende huizen liggen op een uur rijden van de stad. Je tour begint met een comfortabele rit vanuit New Orleans, waar je gids de oorsprong van de Louisiana-plantages met je deelt, samen met het effect dat ze hadden op de stad New Orleans en haar inwoners. Naast het ontdekken van prachtige gebouwen, weelderige tuinen en historische artefacten, vertegenwoordigen deze huizen ook enkele van de donkere hoofdstukken uit de geschiedenis van Louisiana. Veel van de plantages zullen de aandacht vestigen op het leven van de slaven die deze huizen tot leven brachten, en delen enkele realiteiten van het landelijke zuiden gedurende deze tijd in de geschiedenis van onze natie. Bij aankomst heeft elk plantagehuis zijn eigen gids om je door het hoofdgebouw te leiden en zijn specifieke verhaal te delen. Na uw rondleiding door het huis begeleiden we u rond het terrein en beantwoorden we eventuele vragen.

Reisroute
"De Grand Dame van River Road". Misschien wel de meest gefotografeerde plantage in Louisiana, werd dit huis gebouwd in 1839 en heette oorspronkelijk Bon Séjour (aangenaam verblijf). Vanwege de kwart mijl lange laan van 28 gigantische, levende eiken die naar het huis leiden, noemden stoombootpassagiers het 'Oak Alley'.
Laura: A Creole Plantation biedt een 70-minuten durende tour aan die gebaseerd is op 5000 pagina's met documenten uit het Franse nationale archief met betrekking tot de vrije en tot slaaf gemaakte families die hier woonden. Gidsen delen de boeiende, real-life accounts van 7 generaties van de Creoolse inwoners van Laura Plantation. Met 11 structuren die zijn opgenomen in het nationale register, biedt Laura Plantation gasten de kans om het onlangs gerestaureerde Manor House, de formele en moestuinen, het bananenland en de authentieke Creoolse huisjes en slavenhutten te verkennen. Laura Plantation is het best bekend om de West-Afrikaanse verhalen van de voormalige slaven van het huis in verband met folklorist Alcée Fortier. Hier opgenomen in de slavencabines in de jaren 1870, werden ze later populair in het Engels en werden ze de "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!
