About this experience
This haunted plantation tour treats Destrehan Plantation as the backdrop for exploring diverse people such as enslaved Africans, free creoles of color, Acadians and native Americans who shaped the unique landscape and cultural “gumbo” of Louisiana during it’s first 100 years. Hear The chilling stories left behind by the 1811 slave revolt and walk among the spirits that still inhabit the home. Discover how Voodoo came to south Louisiana and became what it is today – a fusion of African, Haitian and Catholic spiritual beliefs and practices. The mysterious world of Voodoo is one of the most misunderstood and feared religion in the world. Explore with us the riveting truth with a longtime story teller and how it differs from what you’ve heard.

Great experience!
Trish was an amazing host, she is very knowledgeable and funny. My boys (teenagers) had a great time and loved Trish. I would recommend this tour and if you have Trish as your guide you won't be disappointed.

Driver and tour guide were great! Charles (driver) was very knowledgeable about the city and gave history and recommendations for restaurants. Allen (tour guide) had great pictures to share and information about the history of the plantation.

To kid or not to kid...
Wonderful balance of history/education with the supernatural NOLA is known for! Definitely a highlight of my 20ish visits through New Orleans areas. It's not too spooky for upper elementary+ aged kids to enjoy- mine did! However, I recommend avoiding kids under 12y or those that don't already enthusiastically embrace ghost/spooky things. Even well-behaved, kids are just...louder! I worried my 9yo questions disturbed the ambiance for anyone seeking silence on somber grounds (...I'll forever let that potential parenting annoyance riddle me with anxiety & remorse). Aside, our tour guide took groups' photos at the front. Turns out, she accidentally took unflattering front-camera selfies instead. Which we're not even mad about because that's so precious. TL:DR Great experience, do it!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Destrehan Plantation Haunted Night Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
