It was a eye opening experience, I rated a 4 because of the self guided tour, which it was good, but I would have liked it to be a guided tour from an actual person. Overall, it was a great experience, and our driver Edward was very knowledgeable as we ventured to the plantations. It's definitely a must-see for the one who wants to see what our ancestors went through on the enslaved side.

If you need transport to Whitney Plantation, don’t use Crescent City. 6 1/2 hours on the bus, of which we had 1 1/4 hrs at Whitney.

Fun and informative driver, extra stop on Laura and Oak alley plantations for drop off of others which enabled us to get a glimose of them too. History at Whitney well told and described. A must!
