Be ready to face our past. - Very moving. Learned a lot that is not completely taught in the classroom, but everyone should take note. USA claims to be so great, but we do have some very disgusting history.

The best and most informative tour ever! - First, pick a nice day. You'll be outside 95% of the time. Second, pick your tour package carefully. Some may just be a ride, others, like mine with Crescent City Tours, was fun filled and very informational not only on where we were going but what has happened in the area. Being at the plantation was an amazing experience. To be able to see and walk among where so many had been before and learn what actually happened to them and not some watered down version was very impactful. The last stop in the church was the hardest for me. When I was in there and everyone had left, the weight of the place came down on me and I was not able to stay longer. If you are at all sensitive to the blight of others, this will have a profound affect on you and your outlook on life from thereafter.

Crescent City Tours-Whitney Plantation - Our tour guide, Brian, was accommodating and knowledgeable. He shared information about the area and the plantations on the way there and back. He even stopped so that we get a quick bite to eat at a cafe before we headed back to the city.

The true education of slavery in America - It is very intense and very emotional but extremely educational I believe everyone should experience it at least once!

Let’s make this right - I booked a ticket & transportation stood at the pick up location until it was clear no one was coming, got in touch with Crescent City tours who said it was canceled due to weather, but couldn’t refund my $78. Called the number I was given but no answer. Still haven’t received my money. Now I’m using the dang comment section as a customer service line. Booking #1412131469
