This is a fully narrated small group tour by van. At Whitney Plantation's Louisiana Museum of Slavery, 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. A short ride through sugar cane fields leads to St. Joseph Plantation, a Creole style family-owned working sugar cane plantation. Family members give a relaxed, intimate tour of their ancestral home and dependencies (including original slave cabins).

  • Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    This is an off-the-beaten path, away from large tourist crowds, small group tour. A 14 passenger tour van and excellent driver/guide pick you up at your New Orleans hotel and narrate the scenic 90-minute drive out of New Orleans. Ride along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain and prepare for a pilgrimage back in time to the Antebellum South. There will be a scenic crossing of the Mississippi River on a high suspended bridge. Then you'll take a short ride upriver to Whitney Plantation's Louisiana Museum of Slavery.
  • Whitney Plantation, Wallace, Louisiana, United States
    Recently opened to the public, it exposes the harsh realities and raw historical facts of this dark side of American history. On your self-guided walking tour, you will see slave cabins, a freedmen’s church, detached kitchen and a 1790s owner’s house. Guests will use their own cell phones to access a special Whitney Tour App. All ticket confirmations will include a link to download it.

Fabulous pre-tour support arranging two separate tours - the plantations and a small airboat tour for different days. Experience of each tour was super. John, our plantations guide was a great, entertaining enthusiast! The plantations are fascinating insights to the past. Pick ups were spot on. Journeys comfortable. What more could you actually want?

Steve was an amazing guide, a wealth of information!! I learned so much about New Orleans. The tour of the Whitney Plantation was sobering, but so well done. The tour of the St Joseph Plantation was very interesting. I enjoyed learning about plantation culture and the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour!
