Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the plantation tours? I'm thinking of taking my kids.

A: No specific age limit for the tours, but I’d say it's best for kids ages 10 and up. The history can be a bit heavy, and some parts of the tour might not hold their interest. Bring snacks and maybe a game for when they get bored! Also, kids under 12 usually get in free if accompanied by adults.

Q: What's the best time of year to visit? I want to avoid bad weather.

A: Spring (March to May) is ideal for this tour! The weather is usually pleasant, and you can see the sugarcane fields in full bloom. Fall is also nice, but summers can be super hot and humid. Always check for storm warnings during hurricane season, though!

Q: Can you walk around on your own after the tour? Or is it strictly guided?

A: The tour is guided, but you can explore a bit after it ends. They give you some free time to take photos and check out the museum. I recommend asking the guide for the best spots to visit when you're on your own!

Just did the St. Joseph and Felicity tour – amazing experience!

I recently took the St. Joseph and Felicity Plantation combo tour in Vacherie, and it was incredible! The houses are beautifully preserved, and it’s wild to see the tools used for sugarcane farming. The guide was super knowledgeable, and I even recognized some spots from movies! Pro tip: wear comfy shoes because there's a lot of walking. Totally worth it for history lovers!

Looking to buy this tour as a gift – any tips?

I’m thinking of gifting the St. Joseph and Felicity Plantation tour to my parents since they love history. Is it good for older folks? How easy is it to get there from New Orleans? Any parking tips?
