Robert P was an excellent tour guide! Her was extremely personable and welcoming. If tou have never hear a true Cajun accent you are in for a treat!!!!
We could only have a view impression from the road but the main building looked amazing. Close to Oak Alley
We have visited many of the river road plantations in years past but had never been to Felicity since it only opened to the public recently. Parts of the movie Skeleton Key were filmed there. Our guide, Jamie, was cool. She was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was casual and they allowed photos.
This tour was the most thorough tour we’ve been on. It’s smaller and not as commercial, and the family owns and operates an active sugar cane farm. Our tour guide knew all The Who’s who of the families that owned/lived in the house, and the home is gorgeous.
Great experience! A lot of history and views. Your guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Felicity your is 10/10!!!!!!!!
There is a museum dedicated to sugar cane processing at the neighboring plantation in addition to the tour at Felicity.
