Plantation tours? Anyone have any experience?

I am looking at driving out to either Oak Alley or Nottoway Plantations for a day trip. Nottoway seems to interest me the most and looks most opulent. I have also read about Laura but is "small" it seems? Any other places I should be thinking about visiting? I am prob only going to do one plantation. TIA

I have done Oak Alley and Laura, and for an accurate historical representation of a plantation I prefer Laura.

Laura Plantation is really nice, Oak Alley is close by for pictures.

I just visited both Laura Plantation & Oak Alley Plantation. Both were $20 for adult tickets (both had $2 discount with AAA cards). Laura is a Creole style plantation. It is were the story of brer rabbit said to originate. Oak Alley is grand with it 28 300 year old oak trees. It offers $6.00 Mint Julep made with 2 parts Bourdon and 1 part Mint Simple Syrup that you could take with you on your tour. Both Plantation were very different and very interesting and only a few miles apart. I am sure you was enjoy either. My 25 old year son and I great enjoyed both.

Houmas House (sp?) is another great plantation home to visit. Tremendous garden and lots to explore. Had a cousin get married there this past year. I've also visited Oak Alley.. Can't go wrong with either, imo, but prefer Houmas

Consider an early start and include Evergreen and San Francisco too, along with Laura. Easy to do the "loop", which is what I always do.

We did a combination of Oak Alley an Laura through our hotel. They are totally different tours, but enjoyed them both. You will learn about Creole life and slavery.

If you have a car, you can easily see 2-3 different plantations of different styles. Oak Alley and Laura are excellent and I would see both. You can have lunch at Oak Alley. You may want to see others in the area as they are all fairly close together. This will be a very good day trip. Its a word apart from New Orleans.

We also did Laura and Oak Alley and another one, that didn't impress me too much obviously, because I can't remember which one it was. We enjoyed both Laura and Oak Alley and had a delicious lunch at Oak Alley and walked all over the grounds and down the long row of trees to the river and back.... hubby had someone on the lawn take pictures of us up on the upper balcony and they are some of my favorite pictures of us. We are going back to NOLA next fall for a 3 day pre-cruise stay and I already have my plans to go back to both plantations again!!!
