Our tour guide was Jay. He arranged the visit to the Whitney Plantation, which is the only plantation tour that focuses exclusively on the experience of those enslaved. This was an audio-self guided experience and it was superbly well done. We could have easily spent more than the morning there. While difficult to hear, see and learn about the lives of those enslaved individuals who built, toiled, lived and we’re at the will of the plantation owner, it should be a must for anyone to learn about these experiences. We highly recommend taking the hours drive out to Whitney to experience this unique tour. Jay was also our tour guide on the Cultural City experience. This was another awesome experience. Jay is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the African American experiences, past and present in NO. Again, some of the history is difficult to hear about, but absolutely a necessary knowledge for all. Take these tours! You will not be disappointed.

Jay was an amazing guide. The second half of the tour was all him and couldn’t have been better. It’s important to learn about NOLA from a New Orleanian. We learned so much. The first half at The Whitney Plantation was equally as powerful but different as it was self guided. The only plantation we’d even consider visiting. If you’re looking for real, honest and informative this is the tour.

Whitney plantation was humbling. Great experience. However I wish they would give the option of tour companies to get a person for tour rather than a voice recorder. The Multi cultural tour guide Jeremy was phenomenal. He was very informative and took us to places like the ninth ward and showed us where the levee wall broke from Katrina. Also we saw the McDonogh No. 19 where the three girls desegregated Elementary schools. My husband and I learned a lot from Jeremy regarding New Orleans history and culture. We would highly recommend.

What a brilliant tour combo! Whitney Plantation focuses on the stories of the enslaved people who built and worked the plantation. Great audio tour and the place is very well presented. Honestly it was heart-rending. Then back to New Orleans to learn about African American people in town - including the slavery story in the city. But the highlight was learning so much about Black businesses, musicians, artists and some of the hardship stories, including lots on Hurricane Katrina. Our guide was Jay, a local NO's man. Fantastic guide. Really brought the stories alive.
