Private Day Trip from New Orleans to Plantation Country

Make the most of your stay in Louisiana with a fully customizable private day trip from New Orleans. Relax in the comfort of your own vehicle as your Welcomer shares historical facts, essential information about each stop, and personal insights that provide context to the region’s history, culture, and landscape. This experience can be booked on its own or added as an extension to your transfer.

Suggested Itinerary

Begin your ride by leaving the city behind and traveling along historic river routes toward 1Historic Plantation Estate, where grand architecture and landscaped grounds reflect an important chapter of the region’s past. As you explore the area, your driver will offer background information and practical tips while allowing you the flexibility to experience the site at your own pace.

Continue your journey along 2Mississippi River Road, a scenic stretch following the Mississippi River, once one of the most important commercial waterways in North America. Along the way, you’ll pass rural landscapes, historic towns, and river views that highlight the area’s connection to agriculture and trade.

For a memorable end to your day trip, it’s recommended to enjoy scenic stops at 3Riverfront Viewpoints, where wide river views provide ideal opportunities for photos and reflection. Alternatively, if time allows, your itinerary can be adjusted to include additional stops or extended time at the plantation grounds.

At the end of your sightseeing ride, your friendly Welcome Driver will return you comfortably to your accommodation in New Orleans.

Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes—plantation grounds are expansive and best explored on foot.
