- Laura Plantation: Louisiana’s Creole Heritage Site - Laura, A Creole Plantation has a rich and unique history, from the home itself to the women that ran it.

This tour will include a walk through of the main house as well as the slave quarters.

Great tour of two plantations - Enjoyable visit of two different plantations. One, Creole style (Laura) and the other, American style (Oak Alley). Definitely recommend this tour. Bus driver was also great.

Steve is an excellent bus driver/guide! - This was a great combination & we learned a lot! Our bus driver, Steve (Cajun Encounters Tour Company), was informative as well as entertaining! He let us know that since we're doing both tours, we won't have time for the restaurant for lunch, but said the deli was great (he was right)! He was even nice enough to drop us off closer to our hotel, being the last 2 passengers!
I did separate reviews of the plantations.

Louisiana Plantation Tours - The plantation tours were fantastic! Karen, the tour bus driver, was very knowledgeable and happy to share lots of information on the drive. We toured the Laura Plantation and Oak Alley. I definitely recommend touring both - Laura Plantation was incredible and the tour guide Lindie was very exciting and had tons of historical information to share.

Everyone should tour the plantations ... then read the history books - We chose this tour and highly recommend it. Our driver was Karen, and she was fabulous. She spoke on the way out and told us about local happenings and lore. The tour featured the Laura plantation 1st and just a short drive over we went to the Oak Alley plantation for the afternoon. That seemed just perfect and we got to view 2 very different plantations this way. And the tour guide at the Laura plantation gave us a 90 minute tour filled with historical facts and information which made the experience very rich. To go to New Orleans and not do this tour is to really not know New Orleans at all.

Laura Plantation Great Tour, Oak Valley Ok Tour - The Laura Plantation tour was absolutely amazing. Laura was a great guide, very knowledgeable, very witty and great spirit.
The Oak Valley tour felt very rushed in comparison and was more of a museum. The restaurant and bar at Oak Valley were good.
