Night Plantation Tour - The tour guide Trish is a hoot! She is very knowledgeable about this sad time in history, I liked that tour only takes about 3 hours and is at night .
The only thing I would improve is that the tour operator informs the participants to check into the restaurant first and then stand by the tour sign.

Haunted Plantation Tour with Nola Ghostriders! - Haunted Plantation Tour with Nola Ghostriders!
Went on the Destrehan Plantation tour with Nola Ghostriders. and it's an immersive journey through Louisiana's haunted history!
From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is thick with anticipation. Our tour guide was Trish, who's a history buff with a knack for storytelling, she brings history to life with ghostly tales of the plantation's past residents. But the fun doesn't stop there – you'll even get to use dousing rods to chat with spirits!
It's a perfect blend of history and hauntings, with a respectful approach to the supernatural. Loved it!
