Excellent experience with Kindress for the Whitney plantation
Excellent experience with Kindrell for our tour of the Whitney plantation.
Kindrell arrived to pick us up on time and was very polite and professional.
He had extensive knowledge of the local area and stopped by the local plantations on our way to and from the Whitney plantation.
We were even able to get a photo opportunity infront of Oak Alley plantation where Beyonce shot her music video.
I learned alot and had a great time.
Would definitely recommend.

Eye-opening experience with the best guide!
Had a great time with Kin (not Ken ;))! He was a great guide, ver knowledgable, very funny and had lots of good stories and anecdotes. The small group size was also really nice, so that it felt like a really private experience with space for everyone. Whitney was a very interesting visit, but also heartbreaking. A completely eye-opening experience, and an absolute MUST when visiting New Orleans. Especially if you're interested in history.

Great experience
Kindrell was an awesome driver and guide. He kept us entertained throughout and he provided valuable insights and information. I would 100% recommend it. The interpreter at the plantation was phenomenal too! We didn’t realize that a different person was going to lead the plantation tour at first, but it was great!
