Time of Respect and Gratitude - Great tour with very insightful view into the enslaved people that once worked that land. If you are open you will feel their presence and better understand their stories and struggles

An Experience - I knew I wanted to see this plantation after reading the article in Glamour about how it will never host weddings as it's their mission to dismantle any romantic notions about its grounds. The tour lasted the perfect amount of time and I liked that it was self guided once at the destination. I would recommend this tour company also. Make sure that you put mosquito repellent on prior.

Walking in the footsteps of my Ancestors - African American History is American History! When we understand our past we can embrace and change our present. It was enlightening and heartbreaking to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors.

Great tour! - Great tour! Driver was very nice and provided us with some important history during the drive. They picked us up on time and it was a comfortable drive!

Whitney Plantation Tour May 2024 - (NOLA) 2nd Line Tours – Whitney Plantation Many thanks to Dennis for making the ride to the Whitney plantation fun, which we did on 18 May 2024. The history lessons and stories along the way were informative! Your recommendation to “We Dats” was PERFECT for lunch! The tour was with a small group, maybe a dozen people on the bus. This was our first time visiting a plantation, and we were looking forward to discussing our perspectives and take-aways as my wife is African American and I am Caucasian. My wife described the experience as heavy, heartbreaking, enlightening, and powerful. Her tears flowed as she listened to the stories and viewed the exhibits, remembering stories told to her by her great-grandfather about his life. She commented that the resilience and strength of those men and women caused her to feel grateful and blessed. My experience was difficult as well. To realize that we could treat other people in such a horrible way. And to occasionally, even today, see someone who disapproves glaring at a mixed couple is depressing as hell. We highly recommend this tour. The grounds were beautiful and the exhibits, audio stories and additional display inside the gift shop were very impactful. You may even catch sight of a few alligators! Recommendations- bug spray for the mosquitos and tissues…. At the end of the tour, Dennis suggested a second tour to us discussing the cultural history of New Orleans. (NOLA) 2nd Line Tours – History of New Orleans Thanks to Jay for this informative cultural tour! We appreciated his love for his city and his “tell it like it is” attitude. Studio Be was amazing! Everyone needs to view Brandan’s talent. Visiting the McDonogh 19 Elementary School building was powerful. Hearing her story about her experience and then walking up those steps was like taking a walk back in time. The back mural…just WOW! The Lower Ninth Ward part of the tour was heartbreaking. Being in the exact places we saw underwater on the news and seeing the levy and the area that broke was crazy! The worst was the recognition that the condition of the 9th Ward has not improved much over these years. It’s sad to see that an area that once represented Black Ownership now resembles remnants of a battleground. Sadly, gentrification is coming. Thank you for offering us insight and first-hand views in places that most tours don’t venture to. It was enlightening! There’s so much more than Food, Jazz, Bourbon St and Mardi Gras if you care to learn about it! This tour shows you REAL TIME history.

Exceptional plantation tour. - Jay, our driver, did a great job. Alongre the route he ecplained about points of interest. Whitney plantation was an interesting and educational experience although sad how slaves were treated. This is well worth the visit. Highly recommended. The self guided audio tour was exceptional and sllowed for taking the experience at one's own pace.

Quite good - A fantastic experience learning about the plantation and slavery, and having an understanding about how challengingit all was. Trenise , the tour guide was fantastic , and we appreciated her personal stories . The downside was the transport , a noisy bumpy bus that made it very very hard to hear the commentary as we drove too and from the plantation , whilst the 2 hours allowed was not enough ( by half an hour ) to listen too , and read all the stories . Would recommend as the content was superb , but be mindful of the return trip

Lots of great information - Great tour and very informative! I did the self guided tour, but i wouldn’t mind going for a guided tour as well.

Good but not great - It was good but not great. Really like the premise of it and had high expectations. Really don’t feel like I learned anything new about slavery. The big house was not nice at all which I found disappointing. While I get that was not what the tour was about, I was still disappointed. It may have driven the point home even more to see the rich lifestyle of the slave owners against the backdrop of the slave cabins. It was good overall but I feel like the opportunity was there to be great and it wasn’t.

Feel ripped off - This was a fascinating plantation, and we enjoyed they information that we saw but we were unable to get to all of them. We were disappointed to only have 90 minutes to walk through the space and the the grounds outside. We needed more time. This is especially important, given the price and that we were driven one hour and a half to go there and return in the about the same amount of time. 3 hours! We paid a lot for this tour, but we didn't get a lot of time for our visit. The driver insisted we had to leave at 11:30. When we had only arrived there, at 9:45 a m. I was extremely disappointed. Won't use you again.
