Great tour. Pickup location left something to be desired. Street was closed in front of pickup location for construction. Guide was awesome. Drivers was great. Overall 10/10 no notes

I wish we had more time to explore the grounds on our own. We didnt even get to the museum in the back. Maybe with our big tour group (26 of us) it just took longer than most but the self exploration is what I was looking forward to the most. Everyone was very knowledgeable and the history itself stands for itself.
Was a great story! Trish was a knowledgeable guide. No ghosts no weirdness just a fun time. Great for Halloween
What a neat combo of history & ghost hunting. Using the rods to speak to spirits was a first for us. Soneat! A must do!
The plantation was breathtaking staff was sweet. The best part was our awesome tour guide Trish, she was knowledgeable, funny and made the experience all the better. Thanks Trish see you next time. "San Antonio group 1"
Incredible experience! Our guide Trish was hilarious when needed and full of history. She was wonderful! The grounds are well maintained & breathtaking.
Our tour guide Trish, was very knowledgeable and very passionate about this plantation tour. We didn't capture any ghosts in our pictures... This time. The plantation itself is beautiful, the history is emotional. My husband and I definitely plan on coming back again only this time during the day so we can see more of the plantations features. Thank you Trish for a fun tour!
Our guide Trish was super knowledgable my husband and I thought she was great. I reccomend thid to all Iknow. We had so much fun and we learned a lot. A shout out to our great guide shes wonderful!!!. Great fun experience. We would go again
Our guide was knowledgeable about the plantation’s history. She had a very enthusiastic attitude and an excellent sense of humor. Enjoyed the ride and her company.
This is a great tour! Trisha was very informative and comfortable with the surroundings., We had a few interesting things happen while on the plantation tour! We definitely had some invisible friends. The friends didn’t harm anyone just made their presents known., Grounds are beautiful with large oak tress and hanging moss!
Our guide Trish was the best! Very informative and had a GREAT sense of humor! A good vibe throughout the tour and I highly recommend!
This was an excellent tour. Trish did an outstanding job narrating all the sites. Highly recomment this tour.
Very fun and very educational. Trish was amazing! She was fun and knew a lot about the history of the plantation!
Trish was amazing!!!! So knowledgeable about all the history, super friendly and funny too. Highly recommend!
Trish was an amazing host, she is very knowledgeable and funny. My boys (teenagers) had a great time and loved Trish. I would recommend this tour and if you have Trish as your guide you won't be disappointed.
Driver and tour guide were great! Charles (driver) was very knowledgeable about the city and gave history and recommendations for restaurants. Allen (tour guide) had great pictures to share and information about the history of the plantation.
Staff is friendly and very helpful and try their best to make sure you have an exceptional experience.
Wonderful balance of history/education with the supernatural NOLA is known for! Definitely a highlight of my 20ish visits through New Orleans areas. It's not too spooky for upper elementary+ aged kids to enjoy- mine did! However, I recommend avoiding kids under 12y or those that don't already enthusiastically embrace ghost/spooky things. Even well-behaved, kids are just...louder! I worried my 9yo questions disturbed the ambiance for anyone seeking silence on somber grounds (...I'll forever let that potential parenting annoyance riddle me with anxiety & remorse). Aside, our tour guide took groups' photos at the front. Turns out, she accidentally took unflattering front-camera selfies instead. Which we're not even mad about because that's so precious. TL:DR Great experience, do it!
Amazing tour guide Lots of history and culture I’d do it again especially in the Deep South I hope others have the same experience
Oh my goodness I’d recommend this to anyone! Trish was the best and even gave us a little time to use copper rods to talk to the dead as we were the last tour of the night! If you’re sensitive to spirits like I am, you can feel prickles and tingles as you walk through the house as the ghosts let you know quickly who rules the roost. To add onto the greatness of this tour, Trish was funny and gave us amazing and harrowing facts about the land and also let us know where to take photos to catch apparitions. Ask to see her photos, you’ll never be the same again!
To start off, the tour was good. However, the bus ride over there was miserable. The bus did not have or had very little A/C. The ride over was about 30 minutes in what I presume to be 130°F heat inside the bus. By the time we got off the bus we were all throwing up. This in turn made it hard to enjoy the experience and the rest of the evening. So It kinda ruined the night and the next day. So be warned that if you do this tour in the summer, bring a fan and lots of water for the ride to the plantation.
Trish was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! She knew the history of the plantation and were able to free roam the grounds. Would recommend this tour!!! It was beautiful and very haunted!
I absolutely loved my experience Trish was so funny and sweet she made the experience fun for our big group of 7.
Great excursion to the plantation, our tour guide Ms T was very knowledgeable on the plantation and had great humor. We fell we had some ghostly experiences but nothing to scare us. Had a wonderful time.
Super cool tour. Very informative and attentive guide. Got some great photos with ghostly‘Easter eggs’ my 8 yr old grandson spotted when surfing through my photos….”grandma of the house was empty… who’s the man in that window?”
This tour was much more than expected! We experienced a full tour of Destrehan Plantation along with time to explore the grounds. Having visited before, this was an exciting twist being able to see everything at night. Trish was a fantastic guide, giving us the history, spirit stories and fun along the way.
This tour is so much fun. One of my favorite ghost tours of all time. Our guide Trish was so great. She was funny but also very respectful and somber during the parts of the trip that touched on the horrors of slavery. This experience was a 10/10.
Such a fun experience! Trisha was a great tour guide and very informative and hilarious! Highly recommend.
She was informative, punctual, down to earth and was funny. Did not hesitate to give more information, she was a gem and would love to have her as a guide for another tour.
The tour was informational and fun! Trish was great fun. We would definitely recommend this tour for all.
Trish was a very good guide with a wealth of knowledge of the house. She made just spooky enough to make it fun but not too scary for my 8 year old. I recommend visiting just for the history and maybe a ghost friend or two
Trish tour guide/driver was awesome!!! Friendly, and fun. Interesting and different experience from a daytime plantation tour.
Trish was a great guide. This was a fun tour. The property is stunning and it was interesting to see such a well preserved grounds/residence. I was truly impressed.
HIGHLY recommend this experience. The site itself was incredibly interesting, but Trish really made the trip. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. We toured the inside of the plantations main house, then were able to walk the grounds using dowsing rods to contact spirits. Very fun and unique experience.
Great tour. Trish was knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend to others. Better temp at night!!!!!
What a great experience! Trish was amazing and the ghost tour at night was such a unique way to experience and learn about plantation life. Spooky enough to entertain adults for sure but also safe enough for all the little ones to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour for everyone visiting Louisiana! Stay away from the snacks in the gift shop they seemed a little dated.
Wonderful time last night. Have been to a number of plantations but never at night. The tour was amazing. Our guide, Trish, was very into the tour and a great storyteller.
Trish was absolutely wonderful! She has so much knowledge on not just this tour but on NOLA as a whole. She was so entertaining and engaging.
We did the evening tour with bus transportation to the plantation from New Orleans. We had so much fun! Trish was both our tour guide and bus driver. She was funny, kind, very knowledgeable, and you could tell she really loves giving tours and is passionate about the plantation. The tour grounds in the evening were so peaceful and beautiful and spooky too. Really loved it!
The plantation was beautiful. Pur tour guide, Trish, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about the plantation and New Orleans in general. She was hilarious! The information we learned on the tour was so interesting. I loved that we got dowsing rods and were able to walk around the property alone and ask the spirits questions
It was a rough start guide seemed to be tired and not very welcoming. After we loaded on the bus she started warming up and trying to connect to us all as a group. She was well informed and firm in her beliefs that we find very inviting. To those who believe in spirits it was definitely an experience that we were not expecting. The land and emotions that run through you is strong and weighs deeply on you. Overall we are glad we experienced it.
All I gotta say it DO ITTT!!! I did it solo and I was with a smaller group. I had an amazing time and our tour guide Trish was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who asks!
Trish was a wealth of knowledge about the plantation. We had a small group and she made it an excellent experience! Loved visiting at night, definitely spooky!
Historical and spooky. Convenient to the French quarter for pickup, right off the street car line. The tour guide Trish was funny and informative.
Trish is a dedicated, thoughtful guide, who gets to know her guests even though our time together is short. Also, Trish packed in a lot of solid content in a limited time. She kept it relatable for the group. Two advantages of an evening tour are the opportunities to explore the property in the dark and take great interior photos. FWIW, transport is included, but we met our group at the plantation since we had a rental car.
Trish’s tour was incredibly thoughtful and intimate. There were only 10 of us and this is an amazing way to be on a tour with very few people. We drove out about 18miles to the plantation. The stories and history of the plantation were obviously horrific but important to reflect on US history and its legacy built on the back of enslaved peoole. She struck a great balance telling these stories and is a great historian on the history of the house and the area. The plantation at night was indeed creepy and we got to explore on our own even with copper rods in the hopes of encounters with spirits and energies. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting for a true authentic off-the-beaten path NOLA experience. For film buffs, they filmed parts of Interview with the Vampire here (the poodle and aristocratic death scene) by an old large oak tree. And interiors with Claudia. Some of the set (chandeliers etc) still exist.
Trish was our nighttime ghost tour guide but was also very knowledgeable about the history of the property and home. This tour is a really cool combination of spooky and historical.
One of the best excursions there is. Trish is the guide you want for this one. 10/10 recommend this to anyone.
Ride was ok, driver not informative or talkative. The plantation was an awesome place, a definite must see. Beautiful piece of history.
The tour felt rushed and guide felt uninspired. He rushed us through the plantation tour and there was limited focus on “Haunted” he left us with over a half hour of time at the end of the evening to wander the grounds of the plantation, didn’t thank us for coming and never said good bye before leaving us waiting for our transportation.
