What you get

    About this experience

    WEST-AFRICAN Captured for their agricultural and construction skills, their work created the Louisiana colony and influenced all segments of the newly-forming Creole culture, best seen today in language, cuisine, music, family-centered traditions, architecture and life-style. This sugarcane plantation started in 1805 with 7 enslaved people (six west-Africans and one Amerindian). As the plantation grew, so did the number of enslaved workers. Four original slave cabins built in the 1840s remain standing today on the plantation. By the onset of the Civil War, 186 workers were enslaved on this farm. Following the emancipation of slaves in Louisiana (1866), the great majority of these former slaves continued to live in the Laura Plantation quarters. Descendants of these men & women were displaced in 1895 when cypress lumber companies had their own workers inhabit the Laura slave quarters. The cabins were lived in until 1977. Descendants of slaves live near the Laura Plantation to this day.

    Highly recommend

    This was a meaningful and enlightening tour. It went deeper than talking about slavery and focused on the interactions of the people who lived there: plantation owners and the people of color. Also interesting because it was a plantation run by women. Very educational.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for coming guys. We enjoyed having you until next time. Stay safe and keep smiling. 😊😊

    Great day out

    A great outing. The small coach was clean and comfortable. Our driver Larry aka bamba was excellent, informative, funny and very courteous. The guided tour around the plantation was with s small group, again informative and knowledgeable, answering all questions posed to him. The experience wasn't rushed in any way. Would recommend

    Response from the operator: Thanks for coming guys. We enjoyed having you until next time. Stay safe and keep smiling. ☺️ And thank you for taking time to leave a review. We think that’s pretty special

    Enlightening experience

    This was our first plantation of the 2-plantation tour we took. I liked this one better because it wasn't just, "Look at the beautiful home", it was, "This family is like a soap opera"! Yes, it was beautiful & I prefer the Creole style of this plantation to the American style of the Oak Plantation, but, more importantly, remember that this was built by slaves. Lindie was an excellent tour guide who ended the tour with a personal touch about her own family in relation to how the slaves were freed & ended up being stuck with no where else to go because they, sadly, didn't know any better. Her grandmother is Creole & she basically highlighted how slavery still affects non-whites to this very day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing Crescent city Tours. We enjoyed having you until next time. Stay safe and keep smiling 😊😊

    Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.

    How much does Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $78 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 Tour with Transportation take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 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 Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 19 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 Tour with Transportation?

    +

    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 Tour with Transportation suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation?

    +

    Around 7 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation 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 Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat 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.
