Description

This haunted plantation tour treats Destrehan Plantation as the backdrop for exploring diverse people such as enslaved Africans, free creoles of color, Acadians and native Americans who shaped the unique landscape and cultural “gumbo” of Louisiana during it’s first 100 years. Hear The chilling stories left behind by the 1811 slave revolt and walk among the spirits that still inhabit the home. Discover how Voodoo came to south Louisiana and became what it is today – a fusion of African, Haitian and Catholic spiritual beliefs and practices. The mysterious world of Voodoo is one of the most misunderstood and feared religion in the world. Explore with us the riveting truth with a longtime story teller and how it differs from what you’ve heard.

Great experience!

Trish was an amazing host, she is very knowledgeable and funny. My boys (teenagers) had a great time and loved Trish. I would recommend this tour and if you have Trish as your guide you won't be disappointed.

To kid or not to kid...

Wonderful balance of history/education with the supernatural NOLA is known for! Definitely a highlight of my 20ish visits through New Orleans areas. It's not too spooky for upper elementary+ aged kids to enjoy- mine did! However, I recommend avoiding kids under 12y or those that don't already enthusiastically embrace ghost/spooky things. Even well-behaved, kids are just...louder! I worried my 9yo questions disturbed the ambiance for anyone seeking silence on somber grounds (...I'll forever let that potential parenting annoyance riddle me with anxiety & remorse). Aside, our tour guide took groups' photos at the front. Turns out, she accidentally took unflattering front-camera selfies instead. Which we're not even mad about because that's so precious. TL:DR Great experience, do it!

This is the best tour I’ve ever been on…

Oh my goodness I’d recommend this to anyone! Trish was the best and even gave us a little time to use copper rods to talk to the dead as we were the last tour of the night! If you’re sensitive to spirits like I am, you can feel prickles and tingles as you walk through the house as the ghosts let you know quickly who rules the roost. To add onto the greatness of this tour, Trish was funny and gave us amazing and harrowing facts about the land and also let us know where to take photos to catch apparitions. Ask to see her photos, you’ll never be the same again!

Be Warned

To start off, the tour was good. However, the bus ride over there was miserable. The bus did not have or had very little A/C. The ride over was about 30 minutes in what I presume to be 130°F heat inside the bus. By the time we got off the bus we were all throwing up. This in turn made it hard to enjoy the experience and the rest of the evening. So It kinda ruined the night and the next day. So be warned that if you do this tour in the summer, bring a fan and lots of water for the ride to the plantation.
