Take a powerful journey from Louisiana’s historic past to its vibrant present with the Whitney Plantation Tour from New Orleans + Vue Orleans package. This immersive combo offers a full perspective—from the stories of those who built the region to the modern beauty of the city that stands today.
Your experience begins with the Whitney Plantation Tour, a deeply moving exploration of America’s first slavery museum. Departing from the French Quarter, travel along the Great River Road to the Whitney Plantation, where restored slave cabins, memorials, and the Creole-style Big House tell the story of generations who lived and labored there. The self-guided audio tour brings history to life through powerful first-person accounts, art installations, and quiet reflection spaces.
After returning to the city, elevate your view—literally—at Vue Orleans, the observation deck atop the Four Seasons Hotel. From the 34th-floor platform, take in panoramic 360° views of New Orleans’ skyline, river, and surrounding neighborhoods. Inside, interactive exhibits celebrate the city’s music, art, cuisine, and resilience, capped by an immersive theater experience narrated by Grammy Award–winning Irma Thomas.
Together, these experiences reveal the full story of Louisiana—its hardships, its triumphs, and its enduring spirit.
