Customer Reviews
Laura Plantation is a beautifully preserved site with a serene landscape that immediately transports you to 19th-century Louisiana. The guided tour is extremely well organized and deeply educative, offering rich insight into Creole culture and daily life in the 1800s. It thoughtfully explains family life, traditions, and the realities of slavery with honesty and respect. The stories shared make the history feel personal and impactful. A special mention to our tour guide, Abby, who was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate—her storytelling truly brought the plantation’s history to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Louisiana’s past beyond the surface. The tours start at 10 AM and leave every hour or so. $30 for adults.
I just visited Laura Plantation, and I was genuinely impressed. The level of care and effort that’s gone into restoring and preserving the property is remarkable—you can tell this isn’t a superficial tourist stop, but a place that takes its history seriously. The tour itself was excellent. It covered the plantation’s history in a way that felt accurate, balanced, and fair—no glossing over, no theatrics, just a thoughtful presentation of what actually happened here. That matters, and Laura Plantation does it right. Our guide, Abby, was outstanding. She was incredibly polite, approachable, and clearly well-informed. More importantly, she was a great storyteller—engaging without being dramatic, respectful without being scripted. She handled the subject matter with maturity and confidence, and it showed that she truly understands the history she’s sharing rather than just reciting facts. If you’re in the area, passing through Louisiana, or even looking for a destination worth going out of your way for, I’d highly recommend this tour. It’s educational, well-run, and genuinely worth the time.
The plantation is beautiful and history very interesting but to me the staff are the real standout. Took and Uber out to the plantation and as soon as we got out the staff ran out and asked us if it was an Uber. We said ‘yes’ and they let us know that it was basically a dead zone and they ran after our Uber and asked them to stay and take us back. They do have this on their website but we didn’t see it and just off the cuff chose to come out. Can’t praise the staff enough as they were so wonderful and they helped us so much.
