Go beyond New Orleans to tour two grand Louisiana plantations on the banks of the Mississippi River. At Whitney Plantation, see the harsh realities and raw historical facts of a dark side of American history. The slave narratives and artwork recreate the world of a pre-Civil War southern sugar plantation and memorial in honor of the lives of the enslaved people who toiled there. Take a short drive down the Great River Road, admiring other plantations from afar and learning their unique stories. Pause in front of Oak Alley Plantation's famous oak-lined esplanade before arriving at your last stop, Laura Plantation. Hear personal stories of those who lived there, surrounded by sweeping sugarcane fields and historically significant slave quarters. This small-group tour allows a limited number of people to ensure a more personalized attention from your guide.

Van driver was great ????. Laura plantation tour guide wasn't terribly engaging, but the plantation itself was cool. Whitney Plantation self-guidedntour was definitely the highlight. Lots of info and you were able to wander at your own pace. Wish we had 15-30 minutes more at Whitney.

What a day! Touring Laura and Whitney plantations with Tours by Isabelle was such a memorable experience. René, our driver/guide, brought the history to life with his stories and insights. The plantations were both stunning and deeply moving. We left with a better understanding and appreciation of history. Highly recommend!

We had an unforgettable tour visiting both Laura Plantation and Whitney Plantation & Museum, and I can’t recommend it enough. Our local guide, John, truly made the experience exceptional—he was informative and engaging, and we enjoyed his sense of humor immensely. At Laura Plantation, we heard vivid stories of the families who lived there. The house and grounds are beautifully preserved. Whitney Plantation focused heavily on the perspective of the enslaved people who lived and worked there, and it was incredibly moving.
