Great tour! Kin was an excellent tour guide! Plantation history was so interesting. Could not believe it was owned by so many generations of women.

Awesome Trip and Tour!

We had a fantastic experience on the Laura Plantation Half-Day Tour from New Orleans, and a big part of that was our tour guide, Kindrell. From the moment we arrived, Kindrell was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful in how he shared the history of the plantation. He brought the stories to life with clear explanations, thoughtful context, and a genuine passion for the subject matter. Kindrell did an excellent job balancing historical facts with storytelling, making the tour both educational and meaningful. He was approachable, answered questions thoroughly, and made sure everyone felt included throughout the experience. This tour gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation of Louisiana’s history, and Kindrell’s professionalism and insight truly elevated the entire visit. I would highly recommend this tour—and especially Kindrell—to anyone visiting from New Orleans and looking for an informative and impactful plantation experience.

Our guide at the plantation made this a memorable and thought-provoking tour. I learned so much and was truly appreciative of the deeper understanding of the struggles of former slaves who had no choice but to remain in an exploitative system of repression.

Ken was one of the most knowledgeable, well researched, and hospitable tour guides. He made sure we saw everything we wanted and things we didn't know we wanted. Ken's personality and facts made the experience memorable. The Laura plantation guides handled the tour with respect and knowledge. Ken's additional knowledge made the trip extra worth it, giving his insight and perspective along the way.
