Both plantations were very interesting. Houmas House and its gardens are gorgeous. The lunch was wonderful. Giselle was a wonderful guide and I loved her French accent. It was such a fun day.

Our tour with Stephen was excellent. He really knows not only the places we visited but NOLA overall. Myself, my 22 daughter and 9 year old granddaughter all enjoyed our private tour.
