New Orleans Plantation Driving Tour

Overview
Visit a plantation along the Mississippi River and glimpse into the grace, grandeur, and tragedy of early southern history on this four-hour tour from New Orleans. Gain an understanding of the socioeconomic and cultural factors that gave rise to slavery and why it became such a powerful institution throughout the south.

We had a great day with Dominick. He is very knowledgeable. We would definitely do this tour again, but would likely choose different plantations to explore.
