Privat New Orleans Double Plantation Tour: Ekgränd och Laura
Beskrivning
Louisiana-plantagernas pittoreska skönhet och arkitektur är ett "måste" för alla besökare i New Orleans. Många av dessa hisnande hem är inom en timmes bilresa från staden. Din tur börjar med en bekväm resa från New Orleans där din guide kommer att dela med dig ursprunget till Louisiana-plantagerna, tillsammans med den effekt de hade på staden New Orleans och dess invånare. Tillsammans med att upptäcka vackra byggnader, läckra trädgårdar och historiska artefakter, representerar dessa hem också några av de mörkare kapitlen i Louisianas historia. Många av plantagen kommer att ge ett fokus på slavarnas liv som levde dessa hem och dela några av verkligheterna i landsbygden söder under denna tid i vår lands historia. Vid ankomsten har varje plantagehem en egen guide för att ta dig igenom huvudhuset och dela sin specifika historia. Efter din hemturné kommer vi att eskortera dig runt marken och besvara eventuella frågor som kan uppstå.

"The Grand Dame of River Road". Kanske den mest fotograferade plantagen i Louisiana, detta hem byggdes 1839 och hette ursprungligen Bon Séjour (trevlig vistelse). På grund av den kvarter milen av 28 gigantiska, levande ekar som leder upp till huset, kallade ångbåtpassagerare det "Oak Alley."
Laura: A Creole Plantation erbjuder en 70-minuters turné som är baserad på 5 000 sidor med dokument från det franska nationella arkivet relaterat till de fria och förslavade familjerna som bodde här. Guiderna kommer att dela de övertygande, verkliga berättelserna om sju generationer av Laura Plantations Creole invånare. Med 11 strukturer listade i det nationella registret, erbjuder Laura Plantation gästerna möjligheten att utforska sitt nyligen restaurerade herrgård, de formella och köksträdgårdar, Banana-Land-lunden och dess autentiska kreolska stugor och slavkabiner. Laura Plantation är mest känd för de västafrikanska berättelserna om hemets tidigare slavar relaterade till folkloristen Alcée Fortier. Inspelade vid slavkabinerna här på 1870-talet, blev de senare populariserade på engelska och blev ”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!
