We had a great time visiting the Destrehan Plantation Tour! It was interesting and we learned a lot! The staff was very helpful! It’s a great tour if you are limited on time and can’t do half a day. We were done in a couple hours. Great price to!

Evelyn, our tour guide was excellent. She shared the local history with us (and she knew soooooo much) and have us a wonderful experience of the Plantation house. Our only regret is that the tour doesn't include the grounds and an explanation of the various slave buildings. That part you do on your own and it doesn't give you the deep understanding that I think it's required.

Beverly was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. She provided great insight to a time when the Plantation was at its peak. Even kept the kiddos engaged throughout the entire tour.

This was a wonderful tour. The tour guide dressed in attire from that time period. It was filled with lots of information about the enslaved and the owners. We went as a family and was very educating. It really gave us a glimpse of the times of the Destrehan family and their enslaved. It wasn’t too long and not too short. I would recommend this tour.
