Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for kids on the plantation tour?

A: There aren't strict age restrictions for this tour, but it's definitely more suited for older kids who can appreciate the historical context. Younger ones might not understand the heavier themes, especially at Whitney Plantation. I'd say around 10 and up is a good range! Just keep in mind that some of the topics discussed could be sensitive.

Q: What's the best way to get to the plantations from New Orleans?

A: It's easiest to book through Crescent City Tours! They provide air-conditioned transport so you won’t have to worry about parking or directions. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. The tour does a great job timing everything so you can see both plantations without feeling rushed.

Q: What should I wear for the plantation tour? Any tips on comfort?

A: I recommend wearing comfy shoes since you'll be doing a lot of walking, especially at Whitney where you're navigating the grounds. Breathable clothing is a must, especially in Louisiana heat. A hat and sunscreen are also great ideas! Just make sure to dress respectfully since it’s a historical site.

Just did the Two Plantation Tour - Amazing Experience!

I just got back from the Two Plantation Tour and wow, it was incredible! Oak Alley was just breathtaking with those giant oak trees. Then, Whitney Plantation had such a powerful narrative. The audio tour was super informative and I loved being able to go at my own pace. I totally recommend this for anyone looking to learn more about the history here in Louisiana!

Considering the Two Plantation Tour as a gift - Thoughts?

I’m thinking about gifting the Two Plantation Tour to my parents who are visiting New Orleans next month. They love history! Is the tour suitable for older folks? I want to make sure they’ll enjoy it and can handle the walking.
