Very good Tour . The Tour guide was exceptional and the driver was very good as well. The plantation and the self guided tour was very educational. And we feel it was an experience that we will remember.

The guide on the tourbus was witty and made learning about New Orleans fun. The Whitney Plantation Tour was self guided and informative. This tour was worth the 4.5-5 hours, once in a lifetime experience!
