AMAZING - The tour guide made this already fascinating plot of history come alive! Beautiful grounds, historic buildings, important stories - definitely worth the time to slow down and absorb an important part of American history!

Exceptional Tour! - This was one of the best tours of plantation homes we have experienced. Our tour guide, Clint, was exceptional - very knowledgeable, engaging, and fair in his telling of the history. The facilities are well maintained, and one of the few that have areas of the home "exposed" where you can see the original construction. Would recommend!

Great tour highly recommended - The tour was very informative and the guide was very knowledgeable about all of the topics related to the plantation and history of the family.

Excellent visit - Jim was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I wish the tours were spread out more, felt rushed because you could hear the next group right behind us.

Amazing ! - This plantation is amazing! Our tour guides Jim (with one M 🤣) is amazing and very knowledgeable, our other guide Ann is also very knowledgeable with this plantation and neighboring plantations. We had an amazing time with our tour guides!

Excellent - Excellent tour. Very peaceful and so much to see. Also let us walk the grounds solo afterwards. Great gift shop super affordable!!

We enjoyed it very much! ... - We enjoyed it very much! Kaitlin did a very good job telling about the plantation and its history. I haven’t been to any other plantations, but I would like to do more. Very informative

We like Jim with one M!!! - Jim with one M was an amazing tour guide. I love that he loves his job, very knowledgeable and very patient and nice to me with all my questions, especially when I jumped the gun...

My friends and I really... - My friends and I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Kelly was great! She was very informative and engaging with our group. Definitely recommend this tour to learn and stand in the plantation where so much history took place.

A must see plantation! - As one who loves history, especially New Orleans history, this plantation tour was a delightful way to spend an afternoon! I have visited all the big plantations on River Rd in the past, so I was not expecting to learn much at Destrehan. I was quite wrong! This was a unique experience that was really impressive. The story is well told from the different perspectives of plantation owner, slave, and free people of color, taking great care to be accurate and truthful in the telling of history. The German Coast Uprising has its own exhibit, which is very well done. I loved seeing into the building process of the house, the materials, craftsmanship, and techniques. The photos of Destrehan when it was abandoned really highlight all they have done to restore its legacy. Our guide, Beverly, was very knowledgeable and took time to answer every question thoughtfully and throughly. We felt like welcome guests at the plantation while taking in the grounds and the big house with her. Her passion for the preservation of history was evident. She told many stories and brought the different generations of Destrehan families to life as she shared them. We left with a greater understanding of plantation life from many different perspectives and are eager to delve deeper into Destrehan’s history and preservation. Well done! Highly recommended!
