Amazing grace - Just reading what really happened first hand from slaves themselves. The first hand look at how they lived and the driver was wonderful and gave lots of information.

Highly Recommend Crescent City Tours - This tour and transportation were excellent. The driver was great and gave us great information and pointed out some other points of interest on the way. The audio tour at Whitney plantation was really well done and informative and the location was really interesting to see. 100% would recommend this trip.
Crescent City Tours also has combination trips with airboat swamp tours, which I learned about from the driver. They very kindly got me squeezed into an open spot and let me join the Rajin Cajun swamp tour the same day and it was fantastic as well.
If my schedule permits, I plan to book another tour with Crescent City Tours to go to Oak Alley plantation while I'm here.

Historical & Daunting - A very daunting experience. Highly recommend. Historical reminder of the dark side of human nature including resilience and immense courage in the face of adversity of the people who were persecuted. Audio through headphones self paced tour.

Wonderful experience - Brian was an excellent driver and guide to the plantation. The plantation itself is a worth while experience! So important to not forget the pass and learn from it! Would highly recommend both the plantation and the transportation services! We felt right at home with Brian and he set everyone at ease with his easy nature and humor!

Whitney Tour - The tour was informative. Gave an insight into our history that you only know by word of mouth or educating yourself to experiences that are available to you. When you see some of these homes in movies they look so grand and when you see it with your own eyes it brings things into perspective. Would recommend this tour.

Excellent experience and... - Excellent experience and service! Loved our driver for the tour! He gave us information regarding New Orleans on our way to the plantation. We felt safe being on the tour with him. The plantation was very educational and we would recommend it to all visitors. It was totally worth the money. Thank you!

Disturbing Experience - The Rebellion display and the Field of Angels were the most memorable exhibits. So many people were abused and murdered at the hand of evil men.... just evil.
You can not be OK with this. I'm not sure why it went on so long. The greed and lack of respect for life is disturbing at best.
There was still so much missing and filtered. Hopefully visitors can understand how despicable the era was and how things have stayed the same.

Recommended-it was a nice way to learn about the history - I did a self-guided audio walking tour & I enjoyed learning about the history of the plantation from the African-American slaves'.perspective. It will take about 2 hours so give yourself time.
