There was a lot of travel time from the city to the plantation, and then from the plantation to the fan boats, so I recommend taking snacks (including water), lathering up with sunscreen, and using the bathroom before you get on the bus (if you arranged for hotel pick-up).
The plantation was nice, but the highlight of the tour (and my entire trip to New Orleans) was the fan boat.
Our guide was named Ernie and he did a fantastic job not only showing us the area, but also educating us on alligators. I can honestly say the tour he provided will stick with me, and it is one of the few things I would recommend doing in the area.
