Clint was great - We booked this on a terrible rainy day. And the parades were canceled. And honestly, we’re so glad we did. We got the tour, the back story and time to roam on our own. We got EFM detectors at the end and we FaceTimed our son to do the experience with us, and it didn’t disappoint. Now, we didn’t come into contact with anything but the tree furthest to the right (if you’re facing the rear of the house) our EFM was going bananas. We would do it again. And I’m glad we got some rainy weather so we branched out to do something else.

Getting Spooked at a Haunted Mansion - It is a really fun tour. Especially for ghost hunting fans. Not only do you get the history but you get a chance to operate emf detector and dowsing rods to hunt down ghosts. Alan our guide was knowledgeable about both. Do wear sensible shoes as it is dark in spots . Great experience.

Eerie and beautiful - So much history, and so interesting! The nighttime tour gives everything an eerie feeling, but the trees and mansion look truly beautiful at night.

Absolutely worth it! - This was such a fantastic, fascinating tour, and we had plenty of time to wander around the grounds at night with our spirit boxes and dousing rods. The tour guide was amazing, and it was very very cool to see the inside of a plantation house.

Night Tour - Trish is a great guide, story teller and navigator. It was a super special evening with a small group, and time to reflect on the past. Would recommend this experience.

Ghost tour - The guide says there may be ghost, but I find it very unlikely. Only because, ghost don't normally show up in well lighted areas. I enjoyed the tour because of the era of the house furnishings. I have always wanted to see a plantation mansion, so I can finally say I have. We did like our driver, he was pretty cool.

Destrehan Haunted Night Tour with Trish. - I think you have to go with a fun and good attitude. Scary - no not really, Fun - yes very. Trish was a character and we loved her, she was witty and knowledgeable and interacted with the group a lot. I would recommend it for a fun and informative evening.

Disappointing - Very disappointed. Tour was canceled without notice. We had this tour booked for over a month. It was supposed to be on Thanksgiving. I just happened to look at my confirmation email that I gotten one week previous that said to call the day of. Called and they said the plantation was closed for Thanksgiving. If the plantation was closed why were they booking tours for that date. Very frustrating as we had planned our day around this nighttime tour. Your company should have checked to see if it was closed and could have emailed or called that the tour was canceled
