Overview of your New orleans tour:

The Louisiana "Roots" Tour is educational, lots of fun and outside of the norm. This tour will take you on a fantastic adventure 60 miles up the Mississippi, past the Swamp to the Plantation Corridor. We will travel to St. John The Baptist Parish, one of the oldest and important Parishes in Louisiana because of its mass production of sugar. We will see several Plantations where I will share their history including the angry ghosts and more! You will also experience a rare visit to a traditional Village and private Burial Grounds of one of the Oldest Intact Creole Villages in Louisiana. As a Historian, Educator and Native, I will show you Louisiana like you have never seen it before and answer questions you may have been hesitant to ask in the past. My objective is to give you a clear understanding of Louisiana's history and expose you to places you will not visit on any other tour. We will dine at Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant visit the gift shop & return to New Orleans
