Awesome experience! A must see when in New Orleans! Great bus driver as well! Sad to see what the slaves had to endure ………..

I knew what I was getting myself into when I told my husband I wanted to visit the Whitney Planation...but I was not expecting to bawl my eyes out throughout the tour. It was a self guided tour and they provided us with hand held devices to listen to at each point. It was tough to see some of these sites, but I encourage everyone to do it. I left informed, grateful, and heavy hearted.
We booked the tour with hotel pickup, and Edward was an amazing driver and informant. He gave us history and details throughout our trip.

Really good tour, very informative, picked up on time and dropped back on time stated. Really informative driver, told us all about NOLA, life & events on route. The actual plantation is viewed from the slavery side, much better seeing the real side of it rather than the rich side of events....Hugely recommend
