2.Whitney Plantation Half-Day Tour (Guided Tour)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 5h 30m · from $86Top rated

Ride from New Orleans in a 12-seat luxury van, hear local stories from guides such as Kin or Kindrell, and spend about 2.5 hours at Whitney Plantation. See the big house, oak trees, and nearby plantations, with hotel pickup within two miles of the French Quarter.

“The plantation tour is well worth visiting. The grounds and the house are hauntingly beautiful and well preserved. Our guide gave us a general view of the history, but she was charming and showed us all the important sights. Our tour would not have been complete without the exceptional tour transportation who went above and beyond to make our excursion more memorable. Pick us up right on time and pointed out all the important spots along the way which were many. 4.5 stars”
