Great tour!
Great tour! Driver was amazingly informative on the way there and back. The tour on the plantation was great and super informative.
via Viator
Great tour
Beautiful plantation. Guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the original owners of the plantation as well as the history of the enslaved at the property. Would recommend tour for older people like myself. Not too much walking and places to sit during the tour.
via Viator
Disappointed
They did not show up. Waited 45 minutes no response or communication with the guide. Contacted vivator requesting a refund. Waiting.
via Viator
Informative and helpful
This was a good tour around the plantation. The guide was very informative and very helpful. She knew a lot and was a bit of a historian. But she told us about the family and about the slaves. Definitely worth knowing abit of history of days gone by.

Laura Plantation experience
The tour itself was a bit rushed (the bus arrived slightly late and the tour started without us) The bus driver seemed to be very knowledgeable but unfortunately we couldn’t understand much as the mic system was bad and/or he held it too close to his mouth. The bus needs work on the suspension as it was loud and we were jostled around quite a bit.

Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 18 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 Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La?
+
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 Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La?
+
Around 6 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La 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 Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking 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.
What is included in Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La?
+

Does Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La include hotel pickup?
+

Is Historic Laura “Creole” Plantation located in Vacherie, La wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
