Candlelight Tour with Joseph
Joseph was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He told the stories of this Creole family as if he were in the room with them when everything happened. I am used to hearing the story of the South, but the Creole experience is one that has been glossed over in my education for the most part. The candlelight tour was neat, I hadn’t experienced a plantation at night before and it brings on a new perspective. Everyone who works here is very kind and helpful! I would love to return.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $74 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 Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience?
+
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 Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience?
+
Around 0 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience 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 Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience?
+
Included: Snacks. Not included: Transportation is excluded: Guests must provide their own transportation to the plantation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience?
+
The experience starts at Laura Plantation: Louisiana's Creole Heritage Site, 2247 Highway 18, Vacherie, Louisiana, 70090, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Laura Plantation Candlelight Tour Evening Experience if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
