The picturesque beauty and architecture of the Louisiana plantations are a “must” for any visitor to New Orleans. Many of these breathtaking homes are within an hour’s drive from the city. Your tour will begin with a comfortable ride out of New Orleans where your guide will share with you the origin of the Louisiana plantations, along with the effect they had on the city of New Orleans, and its residents. Along with discovering beautiful buildings, luscious gardens and historic artifacts, these homes also represent some of the darker chapters of Louisiana history. Many of the plantations will provide a focus on the lives of the slaves that brought these homes to life, and share some of the realities of the rural south during this time in our nation’s history. Upon arrival, each plantation home has its own guide to bring you through the main house, and share its specific story. Following your home tour, we will escort you around the grounds and answer any questions that may arise.

Q&A

Q: Are there age restrictions for the plantation tour?

A: There aren’t strict age restrictions, but it’s more suited for older kids and adults. The content includes sensitive historical topics that younger kids might not fully grasp. Just check with La Vie if you have very young children; they’re pretty accommodating.

Q: Is parking easy at the plantation locations?

A: Most plantations have parking on-site, but it can fill up quickly during peak times, especially weekends. If you're using the transportation provided by La Vie, you won’t have to worry about parking at all!

Q: What should we wear for the plantation tour?

A: Dress comfortably! Think about breathable clothing since you'll be outside a bit. Also, wear sturdy shoes for walking around the gardens. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas since it can get pretty sunny out there.

Thinking about gifting the plantation tour, any thoughts?

I’m considering getting the New Orleans Plantation Tour for my parents. They love history and architecture, but I’m slightly worried about the emotional weight of the content. Has anyone done this tour and could share their experience? Also, how long is the ride from the city? Any tips would be great!

Amazing Plantation Tour - Highly Recommend!

Just got back from the plantation tour with La Vie, and it was amazing! The guides really know their stuff, and the gardens were stunning. They provided bottled water, which was nice. Perfect for anyone who loves history and wants something different than the usual tourist spots. You guys will love it!
