We took a tour of the Laura Plantation because I had read reviews that this tour presented a researched and honest story of all the people who lived and worked there. Our tour with Logan did not disappoint. He presented the story of the many generations who occupied this unique Creole home. The home is authentically restored and Logan was a marvelous story teller. Parking is free, gift shop is very nice, and a well organized free small museum is included in the tour.

I have been to Laura twice now. The care and attention paid to the historical telling of the history of this place is worth every penny you will spend. On my most recent trip our guide was Lindie. She was absolutely fabulous. If you only visit one plantation in Southern LA, you want it to be Laura.

We visited the Laura Plantation and took the tour from Kyle. The tour was very interesting and held the attention of our teenagers. The guide provided information on the family that started Laura as well as the overall cultural feel of the area. The tour went through the house, but did not stop at the garden on the west end which would have been nice to walk through. In order to get past the fence onto the property you have to be on tour and you do not get to walk around the outside of the house on your own. Tour was worth the value of admission.

This is a tour you must do. We were with my parents and my teenage kids. We all thought it was the best tour we’ve ever been on and largely in part because of our tour guide, Logan. He did an amazing job in telling the stories of both the owners of the plantation and the enslaved. There were about 35 people on our tour and our tour guide made sure everyone was in the room before he started talking. We didn’t miss anything. We thank you Logan for telling us the stories of the Laura Plantation.

The multi-generational history of the owning family and the enslaved people who worked there was well presented. I enjoyed seeing the construction of the house including the fire damage. The view of the land that was once part of the plantation really helped me understand the scale of the original property. The quarters for the enslaved people were sobering. It was sobering to consider that once Emancipation occurred, the families who were then sharecroppers continued to be there until 1977. The property still has some ongoing restoration but it’s well worth visiting and supporting.

This is a MUST visit while in the NOLA area. We immersed ourselves in history for a couple of hours. Our guide Al was absolutely amazing, sincere and a personal student of Creole history, part of a 14 generation family line in St. James Parish. He made an already fascinating historical place come alive for our large tour group. I highly recommend this. Plan on at least 2 hours on site. Excellent value for the money.

This wasn’t our first plantation tour but definitely by far the best. Our guide Logan was amazing. He kept us interested for all 75 minutes even our two young kids (8 and 11 years). The plantation is nicely renovated and it’s a unique history. Highly recommend to visit this one.

Great tour! We had done Oak Alley and Whitney which were each very food in their own way, but Laura was the most complete. You can see both the slave side and the owners side. The whole staff was so welcoming and our guide Crystal was fantastic, very knowlogeable, and funny. She made it come alive with her details on the lives of all the people involved in this place. The tour was approx. 1h and I encourage you to take it, it's worth every penny!

The tour is a disappointment. Do not waste your time or money. We had Rocky as a tour guide, he should stay in the gift shop. He is boring, soft spoken and couldn’t answer my questions about the construction of the house. Rocky sounded like he was reading from a script. I wanted to walk away from the tour, I was hoping that it was going to get better. I was wrong. I wasted an hour and ten minutes of my vacation. The Laura plantation is the worst tour we took that day. I wish I could have asked for a refund! Do yourself a favor and take the Whitney tour, that tour put Laura tour guides to shame.

This was a unique opportunity to learn about the amazing history of a creole plantation in Louisiana. There are so many stories tied to this place. It’s incredible seeing how slaves and their owners lived and worked running a plantation in the 1800s. Crystal was an excellent tour guide providing insightful history lessons on what took place here.
