A place of beauty with a dark past. Humbling history with sharp contrast between the plantation owners and the enslaved people. Important to learn about so it doesn’t happen again.

This is about the tour part not the plantation itself. We were picked up by a different company than we booked with, assume they didn't have enough people for the day and gave our booking to another company. The driver/guide was knowledgeable and I thought he was great telling us a wide range of things. However it was at times hard to hear him through the speaker system. My mum who wears hearing aids really struggled. One of the seats was really uncomfortable, something was definitely wrong with it and I was really stiff and sore after long drive. It also didn't have a seat belt. There was a point I didn't think our van was going to get up the hill it was making such a racket. The whole trip door to door was 4.5 hours. We had exactly 2 hours at the plantation.

The tour company and Brian our driver were great. The tour inside the plantation was lack luster and. Rather boring. The plantation is beautiful. I wish I would have picked another plantation to visit. Loved crescent city tours. The swamp
Boat tour is a must! Don’t skip it! The extra money is worth it
