EXCELLENT Based on 384 reviews Luis V2025-06-08Verified 10/10 !!! Truly eye opening experience & very informative. This is the ONLY plantation you should visit it!Nothing is sugar coated and it is very informative. Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and amazing along our way to the plantation. Highly recommend them!! Jennifer K2025-06-07Verified Whitney Plantation: Informative, Moving, and Deeply Impactful The tour started with a text/phone call reminder of where I needed to be for pickup. Then Edward arrived on time and with a few other pick-ups we were on our way. Edward provided the right touch of history and culture nuggets to set the vibe. The tour itself was informative, well designed and humbling. I chose to use the tour app but they offer hand held devices on site (for free). Each exhibit was well designed and in 3 languages (En, Fr, and Sp). I chose the self-guided tour, but I'm sure the guided tour is even more engaging with a human directing the tour.Please go. It's worth the time. The tour guides who I met through other tours highly recommended Whitney for its accuracy and thoroughness. adrenalinejunkie0072025-06-06Verified Recommended! We used Legendary Tours for our visit to the Whitney Plantation. Communication leading up to the tour was excellent, letting us know the day before where to meet and sending us a reminder the morning of. The bus was comfortable, air-conditioned and felt safe all around. The bus driver provided background on New Orleans itself and other landmarks, to and from the tour. I would use Legendary Tours again for future visits. Maryatdesairlake2025-06-03Verified A True View of Life on a Plantation from a Slave's Perspective This plantation tour was self-guided using a listening device. The information was very thorough/well-done and entirely geared towards the life of a slave on a plantation rather than focusing on the genteel life of a southern gentleman/lady. It also provided information on what life was like for a "paid servant" after Emancipation. Sadly, it didn't appear to be a whole lot different. If you're going to tour a southern plantation, feel free to tour a "pretty" one and make sure you tour the Whitney as well. Briitta W2025-05-28Verified Edward was great! Edward picked us up at expected time, bus was clean and Edward was informative. Interesting information at plantation Steven M2025-05-16Verified A great educational experience! Everyone who visits New Orleans should take this tour. What started out as a wonderful and pleasant trip to a plantation with an EXCELLENT and VERY knowledgeable driver (Edward) became much more solum as we toured the plantation. A ERY insightful and a great educational lesson for EVERYONE. This tour exemplifies the hatred and extreme cruelty that man is capable of inflicting upon others. If there was a hell, the life of a slave at a plantation is the foremost example of ignorance and stupidity. This tour was the perfect length of time to instill and teach what happened to the former slaves. The tour was self-guided, however, a portable "radio" that is very easy to work with explains everything is great detail. And if there are any questions, there are several people to ask questions. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. While I previously thought that I knew a lot, I learned even more. TeeBaby_232025-05-15Verified Wonderful tour & eye opening experience .. Book with Cresent City Tours && Request Brian as your guide.. Thank me later! I had a wonderful time on this tour with my other tour mates.. We a nice selection of people stretching from different ends of the world and different backgrounds that traveled near and far to experience this work of art and to also pay their respects to the ones that had to endure those troubling times ..Only God know of the things that took place on that sacred ground we walked on and I can honestly say that I am so thankful he guided me there. Such an awesome and eye-opening experience. In fact, I plan on going back to visit the Laura Plantation and the Oaky Alley Plantation in my spare time with the same tour line Cresent City Tours and with Captain Brian!!! I'm glad I got a chance to see part of the preserved history of the slaves. I will use that knowledge I obtained to further empower myself as a strong black woman and encourage others to do the same.. No matter your race or religion, you should definitely go and check out this plantation.. You will be glad that you did!!! Kristin R2025-05-05Verified Great way to get to the Whitney Plantation Very happy with our trip to the Whitney Plantation. Seeing as we did not have a card in NOLA, we needed someone to get us there. We were picked up at a convenient hotel of our choice, and I especially appreciate the confirmation call the morning of so both they and I new the other was confirming. Our driver gave us some info en route about the area we were passing through (though sound system could have been better). Driver was friendly and safe. The plantation itself you do self-guided, and they have audio devices for this. It is not to be missed. justtravel022025-04-29Verified Never picked up! We were never picked up the morning of the tour, we tried calling and texting but no response. Our hotel tried calling and left messages but still no response. We still have not heard from the tour company. Now we are trying to get a refund - so overall not happy! Giselle and Patrick2025-04-16Verified Smooth transport The driver kind & entertaining. The bus was clean. Nice ride both ways. However bring a parka. They crank up the air. My hands and nose were icicles! Brrrrrr
