Historical & Daunting - A very daunting experience. Highly recommend. Historical reminder of the dark side of human nature including resilience and immense courage in the face of adversity of the people who were persecuted. Audio through headphones self paced tour.

Wonderful experience - Brian was an excellent driver and guide to the plantation. The plantation itself is a worth while experience! So important to not forget the pass and learn from it! Would highly recommend both the plantation and the transportation services! We felt right at home with Brian and he set everyone at ease with his easy nature and humor!

Whitney Tour - The tour was informative. Gave an insight into our history that you only know by word of mouth or educating yourself to experiences that are available to you. When you see some of these homes in movies they look so grand and when you see it with your own eyes it brings things into perspective. Would recommend this tour.

Excellent experience and... - Excellent experience and service! Loved our driver for the tour! He gave us information regarding New Orleans on our way to the plantation. We felt safe being on the tour with him. The plantation was very educational and we would recommend it to all visitors. It was totally worth the money. Thank you!

Humanity in inhumanity - Whitney brought to life the inhumanity of slavery. The institution dehumanized both the enslaved people and the slave owners

A reveal of history - A self-guide audio tour on the property revealing a dark history we shouldn’t ignore. It showed the strength of survivors and the cruelty that others can inflict on fellow humans. Brian our driver was very knowledgeable a well. Plus he had a most wonderful laugh.

Recommended-it was a nice way to learn about the history - I did a self-guided audio walking tour & I enjoyed learning about the history of the plantation from the African-American slaves'.perspective. It will take about 2 hours so give yourself time.
