Let's be honest, N'awlins Luxury provided the transportation. Then dropped us off at the plantation. Then picked us up and returned us. So really, this review is only about that. Pick up time was as stated and efficient. Only six of us total on the shuttle. Two passengers got off at Oak Alley, and the rest of us headed to Laura.
Originally, we had booked a tour of the Whitney Plantation, using the "Real Time availability" booking on N'awlins Luxury's website. Day before our tour, we received a phone call that Whitney was to be closed the day of our visit. This was disappointing, because surely Whitney didn't call them the day before. Remember, we had use the real time availability feature, and so this shouldn't have come as a surprise to them, booking five days out. Dropped off at the Laura almost 40 minutes before the tour started. There is a museum to help fill the time but...
The transportation there and back was fine. Might have, in hindsight, rented a car and done two plantation visits (to a Creole one and an American one) to compare and contrast. Separate review for the Laura.
