Q&A

Q: Are children allowed on the Whitney Plantation tour? What age is best?

A: Kids are definitely allowed! The tour is educational and can be really impactful for older kids who can understand the history. I'd say ages 10 and up would get the most out of it, but younger ones can still enjoy the sights. Just make sure they're mature enough to handle the content.

Q: How do I get to the Whitney Plantation from downtown New Orleans? Is parking easy?

A: If you book the tour, transportation is included, which makes it super easy. If you're driving, there's parking available, but it can fill up fast on weekends. I would recommend getting there early if you're going that route. The bus service is really convenient though!

Q: What should I wear for the Whitney Plantation tour? Is it outdoors a lot?

A: Definitely dress for the outdoors! Comfortable shoes are a must because you'll be walking around a lot. The grounds are beautiful but can be uneven, and there’s some outdoor time. I’d suggest lightweight clothes if it’s warm, and maybe a hat and sunscreen. Rain can happen too, so keep an eye on the forecast!

Just got back from the Whitney Plantation tour!

I went on the Whitney Plantation tour last week and wow, what an eye-opening experience! The audio tour was super informative, and I learned so much about Louisiana's history. The memorials were touching. I also did the swamp tour afterward, which was such a fun add-on! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting New Orleans.

Considering gifting the Whitney Plantation tour, any thoughts?

I'm thinking about gifting the Whitney Plantation tour for my friend's birthday. She loves history and New Orleans. Is the experience really worth it? Any tips on the best time to go? I'm also considering adding the swamp tour. Any feedback would be appreciated!
