Laura Plantation Tour With Transportation

The driver was 45 minutes late. My ticket said to be ready at 8:00 am, I was in my lobby at 8:00 am. I texted at 8:15 am, and he later called around 8:30 am. No apology no acknowledgment that he was late. He was rude when he called me and told me to, “Be Ready!” I was already ready, he was late! When I got on the bus 45 minutes late, I was so pissed! Then the driver is speeding, telling ridiculous stories and laughing in a strange and fake way. Over laughing and it made it super awkward for the riders as what he said was either not funny at all or mildly funny. It was bizarre behavior and he had an inability to read the passengers responses. I sat toward the back at first and I saw people annoyed by him continuing to talk. It would have been better if he just stayed quiet and drove. When we drove out there he literally was telling us the history of the plantation, which was apart of the exhibit. I don’t know why he did that because the museum said the same thing and we weren’t paying him for a history lesson.

This was a meaningful and enlightening tour. It went deeper than talking about slavery and focused on the interactions of the people who lived there: plantation owners and the people of color. Also interesting because it was a plantation run by women. Very educational.

Our driver was wonderful. He was safe and friendly and knowledgeable about the area and about the plantations. We enjoyed the drive and the conversation with him. We wen to Laura Plantation

Our guide was very knowledgeable and open to answer questions. The tour was very organized and flowed nicely. Our transportation driver with Crescent City Tours was amazing too! He kept us engaged on the drive to plantation and pointed out several landmarks along the way!

A great outing. The small coach was clean and comfortable. Our driver Larry aka bamba was excellent, informative, funny and very courteous. The guided tour around the plantation was with s small group, again informative and knowledgeable, answering all questions posed to him. The experience wasn't rushed in any way. Would recommend

This was our first plantation of the 2-plantation tour we took. I liked this one better because it wasn't just, "Look at the beautiful home", it was, "This family is like a soap opera"! Yes, it was beautiful & I prefer the Creole style of this plantation to the American style of the Oak Plantation, but, more importantly, remember that this was built by slaves. Lindie was an excellent tour guide who ended the tour with a personal touch about her own family in relation to how the slaves were freed & ended up being stuck with no where else to go because they, sadly, didn't know any better. Her grandmother is Creole & she basically highlighted how slavery still affects non-whites to this very day.

Our tour guide gave a very nuanced, historically accurate description of life on the plantation, from the plantation owners to the enslaved people. Learned more here than I ever did in school

Very informative tour - All guides were great. Except arrived late for our tour at Laura Plantation to meet our guide there. And no information that you could get food and drink at Oak Alley Plantation at the stop for 45 minutes. That was in our opinion essential information, as no food at Laura Plantation. Otherwise thanks to all involved, in giving us this trip.

Always the best and my goto Plantation tour company! Beloved Crescent City Tours thank you again! Checkout google review for more details!

We enjoyed our tour of the Laura Plantation. Pam is a WONDERFUL tour guide. She knows her history and tells it in such a beautiful way. A well crafted story that loves you wanting more.

We did the Laura Plantation tour with transportation from Crescent City tours. The Laura Plantation tour itself was just ok, but Crescent City Tours doesn't actually do that tour for you, they just take you do the plantation and the plantation has their own tour guides. The transportation from Crescent City tours was ok. They picked us up at our hotel via a medium sized bus. After picking a few other people up at different hotels, it was about an hour drive to the plantation. The driver was nice and 'somewhat' funny; it was nice that he gave us informative information on the city and places we were passing along the way, so the ride wasn't boring. We were dropped off at our plantation and then picked up about 2 hours later. After all the people were back on board, we stopped at the Oak Alley planation for a 20 min break to get food or bathroom etc. Then we stopped other people off at a swamp tour and then back to the hotel. Overall, we were picked up around 8:20am and got dropped back off around 2:30pm.

Brian was actually the star of this tour for me. Especially with the heavy nature of the tour for me personally. Overall, the plantation tour itself was just okay, but the ride to and from was a great delight!

The owner and guides of Crescent City Tours and Transportation provided excellent service and were a lot of fun!

Crescent City Tours is amazing! We had so much fun with Brian on the way to and from the Laura Plantation. He took time to show us sites along the way and was a perfect southern gentleman. We will definitely book with them the next time we visit the city.

This was absolutely my favorite tour in New Orleans. Walking through the house is like walking back in time. The grounds are beautiful and so much history! The tour guide was very good and very informative! Walking into the slave cabins was a sobering experience. I would recommend this without a doubt!!

Due to a rain storm and a lady falling our tour was very short for the price. The tour guide attended to the lady that fell. Group was left to entertain theirselves in the museum which one could tour on their own. No refund or discount was offered.

Laura plantation est un lieu vraiment intéressant à découvrir autant d’un point de vue historique économique et sociale. Au travers de cette visite, on comprend toutes les subtilités et difficultés de la vie au sein d’une plantation, autant d’un point de vue des propriétaires que des esclaves. Se rendre dans le petit musée juste après la visite dans du sens et permet de faire du lien avec tout ce qui a été dit, et vu. Les guides et le personnel sont avenants et maîtrisent très bien leur sujet. Merci à toute l’équipe.

La guide prenait vraiment le temps de nous expliquer et surtout nou laissait le temps de nous imprégner des endroits. Ca remet les choses en perspective de se retrouver un peu dans cette époque.

Le transfert avec un chauffeur qui nous a régalé de ses anecdotes. On se souviendra longtemps du rire communicatif de Bryan ! La visite de la plantation était tout aussi merveilleuse, un grand merci à Amélie pour la visite en français. Elle a su nous tenir en haleine avec l’histoire de cette famille. Vraiment top !
