Fantastic 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.

Definitely try to get Judy Davis ( self proclaimed 'chunky black woman' as your tour guide ! She's super knowledgeable , personable, and friendly . Totally worth it!

Christine Cardoso

The 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.

Megan Irvine

More 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.

Latil's Landing is a great choice for an intimate dinner or to celebrate any occasion! For starters try the Abita Shrimp ...

One 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.
