“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.”
