Reviews
"I visited the plantation on a Monday, traditionally not a busy day for tours. I was welcomed and provided a tour that was informative and exciting. I was the only one on the tour at that time and felt like a VIP. Things I was interested in I was allowed to spend more time looking and things I wasn't so interested in I was given the short version of the story. Great tour and my guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I'd go again to see and hear about it's history. I know every time I learn something new or am reminded of something I had forgotten."
"Nice place and really good guide who also speaks French !! Thank you 17$ entry for adults"
"Guide was extremely informative and very easy to talk with. Very pleasant experience."
"Monday was a great day to immerse ourselves in Southern Louisiana culture, thanks to gift shop manager/tour guide, Lee Landry. His knowledge of the property, the buildings and the way of life in this area of The South, gave us a greater understanding of what plantation life would have been like. The gift shop was also delightful with its wide assortment of books from the Cajun twist on a few children's classics to the first hand accounts of life in The Bayou. Thankyou Lee for your personal recommendations. He is truly passionate about the story and the land and a firm believer in preserving the past so that future generations have a better understanding of where things are today. Thankyou for your time and energy on one of our favorite tours in Louisiana!"
"Great experience.. They need to really show the entire house. The kitchen, the added on portion where the children live as well as the upstairs of the labor workers house. We also should have been able to go to the front of the home to check pictures of the house. The guide was good and she was able to answer majority of questions."
