Laura Plantation

Definitely the BEST plantation tour that I have taken in Louisiana! I chose to tour Laura first of all the plantations in Louisiana that I was interested in viewing because it was listed as LonelyPlanet.com's top living history tour. This was an unfortunate decision, since all other plantation tours that I have done since have paled in comparison! In fact, I went to Oak Alley immediately after Laura and was disappointed in how little I learned and how much shorter the tour was at Oak Alley than Laura. However, I might have thought differently had I done these tours in reverse order. Essentially, if I only had the opportunity to choose and tour one plantation, hands down, I would choose Laura - if Laura was closed, then I would choose Nottoway or Rosedown.
