Kayla HoltheFebruary 21, 2021Fantastic tour! The house and grounds are magnificent and grand! Our tour guide, Patrick, was wonderful! He knew so much of the history and was personable. He was able to answer all of our questions.
Rebekah SvenssonNovember 21, 2012Definitely try to get Judy Davis ( self proclaimed 'chunky black woman' as your tour guide! She's super knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. Totally worth it!
Megan IrvineApril 1, 2019More than just a plantation house tour. There's an artist in residence at the Gallery Noir. The gardens are beautiful, and there's a little bar (Turtle bar) and restaurant on site.
Laura WMarch 5, 2016This French-Colonial style plantation named after the tribal land of the United Houma Nation contains eight buildings on 10 acres of land. . Swamp tours are available nearby.
Christine CardosoNovember 5, 2014The current owner actually resides in the home. Very different "museum" atmosphere in the fact that you can actually touch and get up close and personal with the historic pieces in this historic gem.
AmyFebruary 16, 2014Latil's Landing is a great choice for an intimate dinner or to celebrate any occasion! For starters try the Abita Shrimp...
Gary TOctober 19, 2012One of the few places where you can actually touch the items that are not roped off or encased. For the tour, ask for Judy, you won't be disappointed.
Mackarena FariasJune 29, 2012This plantation is absolutely lovely. The tour guide judy davis is fabulous. She is the best guide. If your taking the tour make sure you get her.
