The bus driver was informative and friendly. Pick up was smooth. The experience at the Whitney plantation itself was emotional and focused on the enslaved, not the plantation owners or the architecture. This is what makes the Whitney the only plantation that I’d visit.

We were never picked up the morning of the tour, we tried calling and texting but no response. Our hotel tried calling and left messages but still no response. We still have not heard from the tour company. Now we are trying to get a refund - so overall not happy!
