Plantation

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.

Definitely worth it.

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?”

Do not miss!

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....

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.
