Whitney-plantage en moerasboottocht vanuit New Orleans

Whitney Plantation is a moving experience. Let yourself go back to this time as the audio takes you through the history. Take time to read the signs and plaques. Imaging what was felt & experienced during this time saddened me. I think this was one of my top experiences in NOLA. I originally booked our airboat tour separately with abother company highly recommended - but then wanted to add the Plantation so this tour made better sense, economically too!! Our airboat guide Mike was awesome at Rajin Cajun. And our bus driver felt like a favorite Aunt - pointing sites out along the way - loved her. Name began with M I think (shame on me for bot being able to give her a proper shout out!)

A lot of history of the slaves and their lives. Sad, but we need to know our history! Our business driver was so wonderful. He even dropped us off near our hotel. Our airboat ride was exceptional, too! This is an excellent tour to book!

Informative and moving experience. The Plantation and exhibits are well maintained. The audio tour was easy to navigate

Great informative tour with a lot of historic value. I was also able to get cute items from the gift store.

Plantation was interesting, educational and humbling. So very sad to see the history of the treatment the slaves, even children, endured. The air boat was also cool, our guide was great! We had 2 awesome bus drivers, one was in training. They were informative, polite and very nice gentlemen.

This is the only plantation where the story is told from the slave POV. That is why we picked this one. Glad we took the self guided tour with audio. We could take our time and the audio was so informative.

We had a great driver that always looked out for us and making sure we were taking care of at every stop. He knew we would need a drink for the boat tour and pulled over at a state for us buy some.

This was such a great and informative tour! We were picked up at our hotel and our tour guide driver (I can’t remember his name) was a wealth of information! He talked about Hurricane Katrina, the swamps, the history of many different people that make up New Orleans and the different plantations in the area. The plantation tour was self guided and very informative! We were able to explore at our own pace. We even saw a baby alligator in the property while we were walking around! There is a gift shop on the plantation that has items made by women in Ghana. They had some beautiful jewelry, fans, headbands and many other items. My favorite gift store item is a small book of quotes from the children of the Whitney Plantation. There are many statues of children who lived on the plantation and the quotes are from those children. I highly recommend this tour!!

This was our first time going to New Orleans. MY friends, who have been there several times, told us about this tour and said it is the best. We would agree! We paid a little extra for the smaller size boat (6-10) passenger, and it was definitely worth it.

Driver was great and shuttle bus was clean! Plantation visit was very interesting. Self guided was great! But probably didn’t need 2 hours to walk around the plantation. Then went to oak valley plantation for lunch and that was a great choice! Good gift shop and good. Todd back to the swamp was good. Swamp ride was great! Definitely bring sunscreen and a hat! Saw lots of gators! Fun day!
