This remarkable combo tour offers a powerful contrast between rural plantation enslavement and urban enslavement in New Orleans, highlighting not only the struggles endured but also the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Begin at the Whitney Plantation, where you’ll explore the complex and deeply moving history of rural slavery, uncovering the harsh realities and the courageous perseverance of those who faced such immense adversity. This visit provides profound insight into the human cost of Louisiana’s sugar empire and honors the strength of those who endured.
After a lunch break, immerse yourself in New Orleans’ vibrant urban culture with our NOLA Urban Culture City Tour. Discover the invaluable contributions made by enslaved individuals to the city’s economy, from enslaved labor to skilled artistry, and how free people of color played an essential role in shaping New Orleans’ identity.
Visit significant landmarks such as Congo Square, McDonogh 19, and Treme, the birthplace of jazz, and learn about the lasting impact of Hurricane Katrina. Experience firsthand how enslaved and free communities actively preserved their culture, traditions, and celebrations, from music and cuisine to religion and community bonds.
