Wonderful tour, highly recommend. 10/10 - Kin was an amazing tour guide. My family and myself really got the most out of it. He was knowledgeable, informative, polite, charismatic, and funny! We went to the Whitney Plantation, and passed by/visited several others. The Whitney tour was very informative, you really get in touch with history and can gain an understanding of what life was like on the plantation. Aside from the plantation tour, Kin will give you information about New Orleans while driving up and will help you spot gators if there are any along the way. We learned a lot about New Orleans and the plantations along the Mississippi. He gives great reviews of places to visit in NOLA and you can tell he knows his city extremely well. He makes sure you get the most out of your tour. I am thoroughly happy with my choice in tour to the Whitney, 10/10 recommend. I would not have changed a thing. My in laws could not stop talking about the tour hours later. We went to some of the restaurants he recommended and they were delicious.

A Must! - Our driver Kin, was extremely resourceful in the way that he coordinated our hotel pick ups, along with pointing out certain things as he was driving us to Whitney, and sharing restaurant recommendations.
Whitney Plantation is a unique learning experience that every person must experience. Whitney is the living historical archive of the inhumanity of our American history. Our Whitney tour guide, Dominique was amazing! After Whitney, Kin took us for a quick stop at Oak Alley plantation where we had lunch. Five stars across the board!

A Must Do! - Kin was an excellent guide and went beyond expectations. This was so much more than about the Whittney Plantation. Kin took the scenic route and gave us a tour and history of the area, showing us many other plantations as well.
Having done a combo tour of two othe plantations a couple days prior, I can say the Whittney tour was by far the best. Its about the real lives and hardships of the slaves, not the glamor and riches of the owners. A must do!

A powerful and deeply moving visit and the best driver – highly recommended - I truly loved my visit to Whitney Plantation. Unlike many other plantations, this one fully immerses the visitor in the lives of the people who were enslaved, rather than focusing on the slaveholders’ house and lifestyle. The daily life of enslaved people is explained in great detail, as well as the abuses they suffered, and the divisions and hierarchies that existed among them to keep them separated and prevent revolts.
It is a very powerful, educational, and necessary visit that gives a much more honest and human perspective on this history. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand this part of American history.
I would also like to highly recommend our driver, Kindrell, who taught us a lot about the region, its history, culture, and cuisine. He made the journey just as enriching as the visit itself.

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best tours I have ever gone on in my life! Definitely a highlight. Kin is an amazing and incredibly professional tour guide. He contacted us the day before to arrange the pickup time and spot, and the morning of the tour, he was right on time. The van was spotless and smelled sooo amazing. He knows so much about New Orleans and we learned so much from him. It is also obvious he cares so deeply about the city and Louisiana and providing the best tours possible. Visiting the Whitney Plantation was a deeply impactful experience, and our guide there, Cheryl, delivered the history in the most thoughtful and respectful way. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to explain everything. I can’t recommend this exact tour enough. You’re not getting the most out of your experience and trip to New Orleans if you don’t visit the Whitney Plantation and book Kin to be your guide.

The best!!! - Kintrell was incredible. Everything was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. When you book this tour you are getting a GUIDED tour. A lot of the Whitney tours with other companies are self guided. We were lucky enough to have an amazing guide who was a descendent of one of the slaves. A guided tour is the way to go. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you are on the fence in between companies, this is the one to go with. He was extremely informative and kind, and was so very helpful with anything we needed!
