Pleasant tour, the place is well researched and you get a good sense of life as a slave — though many of these are only verbal witnesses, but perhaps that’s all that is left of that time

En perfekt blanding af skønhed og hjerteskærende og gribende historiefortælling. Respektfuldt overfor de slavegjorte menneskers liv på plantagen, med spændende detaljer om deres utrolige oprør og frihedskamp.

Alton was a great driver/guide. Very funny and knowledgable. Glad we saw Whitney Plantation since we learned a lot. However, Oak Alley is on my list for next time. We got to drive by several plantations and Oak Alley was by far the largest with the most beautiful grounds.
