Spooky fun! - What a great experience! Trish was amazing and the ghost tour at night was such a unique way to experience and learn about plantation life. Spooky enough to entertain adults for sure but also safe enough for all the little ones to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour for everyone visiting Louisiana! Stay away from the snacks in the gift shop they seemed a little dated.

Don’t pass this tour up! - We did the evening tour with bus transportation to the plantation from New Orleans. We had so much fun! Trish was both our tour guide and bus driver. She was funny, kind, very knowledgeable, and you could tell she really loves giving tours and is passionate about the plantation. The tour grounds in the evening were so peaceful and beautiful and spooky too. Really loved it!

Amazing tour - The plantation was beautiful. Pur tour guide, Trish, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about the plantation and New Orleans in general. She was hilarious! The information we learned on the tour was so interesting. I loved that we got dowsing rods and were able to walk around the property alone and ask the spirits questions

Unexpected - It was a rough start guide seemed to be tired and not very welcoming. After we loaded on the bus she started warming up and trying to connect to us all as a group. She was well informed and firm in her beliefs that we find very inviting. To those who believe in spirits it was definitely an experience that we were not expecting. The land and emotions that run through you is strong and weighs deeply on you. Overall we are glad we experienced it.
