Great tour w/transportation (Cornell!)

Cornell was very knowledgeable & entertaining on our bus trip. Would have preferred a guided tour at Whitney. Different points of view at both places, but the Whitney point of view was more believable.

Great Experience

Brian was an outstanding bus operator for our Oak Alley and Whitney Plantations tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and full of meaningful insight about the history and importance of the experience. His professionalism and thoughtful commentary made the trip even more memorable. I would absolutely take this tour again—especially if Brian were the bus operator. Thank you, Brian, for an amazing and informative time in New Orleans.

My amazing tour at Oakalley and Whitney Plantation

Amber is awesome! She’s a New Orleans native and very knowledgeable on the city and the plantations! She made the ride very fun and safe. I would definitely recommend this tour to the Whitney and Oak Alley plantations! Oak Alley has a delicious mint tulip, and I would recommend getting an umbrella before going to Whitney is going during rainy seasons! Both plantations are very different. At the Oakalley you learn more about the people that own slaves, and the Whitney plantation is more about the experience of the slaves and what they went through which I personally rwally liked learning about.
