Additional Information

The splendor of Oak Alley is attributed to its 28 massive, symmetrically arranged oak trees that spread from the river road to the Plantation Home.

Besides vintage agricultural machinery, the sizeable…

Great tour - Loved seeing the Plantation-inside and the grounds. They were all magnificent, especially the giant oaks. The other side of the equation were the slave quarters, etc. Very sad; made you think. But it was a good tour. Gary, our bus driver, was very informative on the drive to and fro.

Worth the trip - Absolutely stunning plantation. The history of the plantation was articulated very well. The pieces that remain from the original owners are wonderfully kept. The furniture is not all original, however from the time period. I would do this one again.

Worth a visit - The row of oaks leading up to the main house. The grounds were kept up nicely. The house tour itself is rather short for such a big home. A long drive for a short tour. Enjoyed the history

Oak alley plantation- highly recommend - From the moment Gary picked us up he told us stories and history tales about New Orleans. So interesting and friendly. At the oak alley plantation every thing was perfect. The grounds and slave exhibition was so educational and the tour of the big house was amazing. This does not disappoint. The pictures I got were amazing. The oak alley- brilliant.

Oak Alley - Gary was very courteous, attentive, friendly and helpful. The drive to Oak Alley was comfortable and Gary pointed out some interesting spots along the trip. He always has the AC on prior to our boarding, a big plus on this hot day. Very interesting visit with many history.

Great Excursion! - What a great excursion! I just wanted to visit Oak Alley plantation and that was the best option for me. We were at the plantation for about 2,5 hours and that was enough time to see everything. The guided tour of the mansion was very interesting (Ann is such a great guide, such a nice lady!). I did visit the rest of the plantation by myself, reading all the explanations on site, and I think that it was good (everything well explained). Transportation to/from the plantation is about 1 hour 15 minutes (from the French Quarter); that was great that they actually picked me up at my hotel. Our driver Gary was just awesome, such a great and funny guy! Koodos!!! I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful as ever - By the time you get there. You barely have enough time for the big house tour. There us just not enough time to explore everything before you have to hit the bus again. This was our 2nd time with your company. Next time we drive our self there. So we don't have to rush and that way we are able to take in the beauty of oak alley plantation. Thanks anyways
