Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Whitney vertelt het verhaal van de tot slaaf gemaakte mensen die daar woonden en werkten. Het bevat ook de geschiedenis van de eerste eigenaren, de familie Haydel.
Laura is een Frans-Creoolse plantage die werd gerund door vier generaties Frans-Creoolse vrouwen.
St. Joseph Plantation was een huwelijksgeschenk van haar vader Valcour, een van de rijkste mannen van zijn tijd.
Hier breng je ongeveer 3 uur door op het plantageterrein en verken je een nationaal historisch monument. Deze historische plek is gewijd aan het behoud en de interpretatie van de geschiedenis die de inwoners hebben achtergelaten. Met de nadruk op de tijd dat het nog een werkende suikerrietplantage was, worden bezoekers uitgenodigd om de tentoonstellingen te ervaren, onder de iconische Allee of Oak Trees door te lopen en het grote huis te bezichtigen. U heeft de mogelijkheid om te lunchen in het restaurant of de delicatessenwinkel. U kunt een moment doorbrengen in de cadeauwinkel, aan de bar, of gewoon onder de vele eikenbomen op de plantage zitten. Daarna stapt u weer in de bus en maakt u een rit van 35 minuten over de snelweg voor een moerastocht.
Zodra we bij Cajun Pride Swamp Tours aankomen, gaat u aan boord van een pontonboot voor een 90 minuten durende tocht door het moeras, waar u meer te weten komt over de vele soorten wilde dieren die daar leven. Je krijgt de gelegenheid om tal van foto's te maken van de met mos gedrapeerde cipressen in hun majestueuze schoonheid.
Om de dag af te sluiten, maakt u een rit van 45 minuten terug naar de stad over de Bonnet Carre Spillway Bridge met uitzicht op Lake Pontchartrain voordat u terugkeert naar uw hotel.

Perfect organization, punctual driver, friendly, attentive, and informative. The Oak plantation is not that interesting; I might have chosen another one, but it was still pleasant. The Swamp tour was fantastic.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
First…Kin, our experience’s organizer, driver and guide was engaging and enthusiastic, while also being generous and thoughtful with his knowledge. Kin Faulk and “K’s”are extraordinary!!! The plantation exhibits and tour were very interesting. This ongoing chapter of American darkness needs to continuously be re-examined until this sin shapes the mind of this country to truly repent. Finally, the swamp tour was probably the best one my partner and I have been a part of. It was a nice light counterpoint to the plantation. A great guide made this so as he provided much fun and insight. Also, we saw wildlife we hadn’t seen before on a swamp tour. All in all this was a truly great day. And that was due to Kin and “K’s”. Yay.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
K’s Luxury Transportation & Tours provided an outstanding experience. Our driver, Kindrell, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic as he shared information about New Orleans. He also ensured our comfort by providing water during the drive. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable and memorable experience!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
This was a full day tour visiting the Oak House Plantation and swamp tour. Both places were amazing to visit and Kin was a brilliant. Picked us up on time and would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Wow. It’s all I can say about Kindrell! Ok, perhaps also amazing. ☺️ Our family’s first trip to New Orleans and we wanted to take some fun tours to learn more about the area & history, and Kindrell was an incredible wealth of knowledge! He spoke to everything New Orleans, gave fantastic recommendations, was witty & fun to be with, and an excellent host. Kindrell was so well organized and polite! He called and texted when he was on the way to pick us up in front of our hotel. He provided us icy cold waters and made sure we drank them & spoke about the risks of the heat in Louisiana. His van was beyond clean and comfortable - so much so I’m embarrassed to say that I accidentally fell asleep on the way back to the hotel! I’m sad because my husband said I missed some great content. 😢. However, that’s how comfortable I was with Kindrell - a Mother with her family, fell asleep in a tour guide’s van, her first day in a brand new place… If you know how meaningful and special that is, you know. 💯 What really struck me was Kindrell’s care for a couple of older passengers - he GENUINELY cared for them. Helped them in & out, spoke to their tour guide to make sure they were taken care of, and went the extra mile. This is just what I saw sitting in the back row with my family. The Oak Alley Plantation Tour would have been much better had Kindrell given it himself and I felt like the Slave piece of the history is very white washed. Personal opinion; I want to return to do the Whitney Plantation tour next time completely from the slaves perspective - not the slave owners with the big, pretty houses. The Cajun Pride Alligator Tour was awesome!!! Oh my gosh, my family had a blast. We saw many alligators, got up close to a few when the captain fed them, saw raccoons, birds, and even a razorback hog! Everyone got to hold the smallest, softest, baby gator too. 🥰 I can’t wait to return to NOLA and I hope to use Kindrell’s services again and would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Im glad you was comfortable enough to trust me with your family. Just like our slogan.. Treati You Like Royalty, Love You Like Family.
Great Tour & Guide with clear communication around times, pick ups
Thank you for the review. I’m glad you was able to enjoy yourself.
We did a combination tour of Oak Alley Plantation and a swamp tour. Both tours were very interesting. Got to see lots of wildlife on the swamp tour. What made the day even better was our driver, Kin. He picks you up from your hotel, takes you to the scheduled tours, and takes care of checking you in. Then comes back to pick you up. Communication was great. He even called to tell us he might not make it back in time to get us from our swamp tour because he got stuck by a parade in the French Quarter. He arranged for us to go back with a tour bus if he couldn’t get there in time. He shares a lot of history on the drive back and forth. Highly recommend!
Kin, the initial tour guide & driver was fantastic and knowledgeable. We went to Oak Alley plantation as well as Cajun Swamp tour. Both tours were fun and a great learning experience about Creole & Cajun culture.
10/10 tour shout out to our tour guide Kin he was the best!
All very well organized, the guide great and always willing. Also doing the 2 excursions the same day was a success! To repeat!
