Amélie was our guide and she was absolutely amazing! Excellent sensibilisation about the dark story of slavery and the past of the plantation. Her French is impeccable and her smile makes the visit even more pleasant. Highly recommended!

Great!

Amazing history. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. I have read a lot about the history of slavery but learned so much more. I recommend this for everyone.

Great Experience!!

Great visit

An eye opening experience! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. I originally went to have my kids learn more history, but I ended up enjoying it more than them!

Great tour

Crystal, our guide, was able to answer all questions. She did not try to make plantation life glamorous or easy.  She even advised us locals to see another plantation before it is demolished next year.  It was an interesting tour and hot as it was, it gave me an idea of the conditions experienced by the enslaved residents.  The tour also gave us an overview of the plantation owners and their complicated lives.

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Our tour guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and kept us very engaged. We had a group of 14 with kids so that's not easy. We had a great time!! I definitely recommend!

Great Tour!!

The gal that did our tour was very nice. They “play” the part of the time period. She was fun and had a great personality. Unfortunately her name escapes me I think it starts with a “B”. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The garden was still beautiful even though it was winter. My 13 year even enjoyed the tour. I think it was worth the money and time.

Interesting

We absolutely enjoyed our visit to Houmas House and Gardens!This place is amazing! A MUST see attraction! We could have stayed there all day!
My booking process with TripShock was flawless & I will definitely book future activities with them.

Gorgeous Place

This plantation was the best one we visited.  The tour guide was wonderful, the atmosphere relaxed, and the gardens beautiful.  The restaurant was very pretty and had great food. Don’t miss this plantation!

We loved this tour. I have three boys (ages 12, 11, & 6) who really got a lot out of this (the older ones more than the younger one) and enjoyed learning about the history. The house was gorgeous and the tour guide was so good and full of knowledge. It really was one of the highlights of our trip.

The plantations were beautiful and the tour guides were very knowledgeable! Some of the horrific details of our American past are often overlooked or accepted as "that was how things were." The Laura Plantation tour covers the reality of slave life on the Southern plantations and the wrongdoing that was committed. Learning history increases our knowledge, and knowledge is power. Hopefully we as humans use this power to not repeat the wrongdoings of the past.

Oak Alley and Laura Plantation Combo a great experience

It’s a must for everyone especially in the hotter months to experience just a tiny speck of what the slaves felt! I was very put off that they offered weddings and overnights where so many were miss treated and abused. But as I stated above everyone should see and feel how disturbing these plantations were operated. I wish they talked less about how rich the owners and families were and more  memorials of the slaves that were sold like commodities and abused.

Very somber

The tour was the crown jewel of our New Orleans trip. The grounds and building were stunning, but the content of the tour itself was incredible. Our guide, Pam, interwove stories about the house, the owners, and the enslaved people held there. It felt like we were on a walk-through movie and made the tour a million times more valuable for her contextualizing the lives, decisions, and experiences within the time frame. She provided information on everything from family drama to illegally selling the children of slaves to how the homes were build and maintained over time to the process of harvesting and grinding sugar cane, creating a cohesive narrative that was informative, educational, and funny despite the frequently awful subject matter. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!!

Our family loved our visit to the plantation. Our tour guide, Beverly, taught us more about the Louisiana Purchase, the influence of French culture, revolt of 1811 and the importance of the time era than we had ever learned.  It was a beautiful sunny day - great visit with beautiful scenery. ♥️ Highly recommend this tour to visitors.
