Overview

Oak Alley is one of the most magnificent plantation tours because of the 28, evenly spaced, huge Oak Trees that go from the river road to the Plantation House. Built in 1837 using Greek Revival architecture, and restored in 1925, this house could to be straight out of the movie “Gone with the Wind”. In addition to antique farm equipment, the twenty-five acre grounds also feature a restaurant, blacksmith shop and a souvenir shop, of which you'll enjoy some free time to peruse at your leisure. It is a comprehensive plantation experience.

This was fun, but it made me sad! However we should always learn about our history so we can learn and grow!

Slave quarters and historical background. The film in the theater about sugar cane informative. Beautiful setting with the oak trees.

What to expect: if you don’t go on the airboat ride and just take the Oak Alley plantation tour, you will remain on the bus an hour extra to drop off airboat people before you turn back to New Orleans. This was not mentioned in what to expect.

Excellent from hotel pickup to drop off. Driver Gary was a Katrina survivor and told us his story. Plantation was incredible.

Almost missed the trip since the email told us we would be picked up on the opposite side of the hotel. We’d have never seen the bus if hotel employee hadn’t said asked us who we were waiting on. The plantation itself was beautiful and interesting but the guided part was only 30min and his cajun accent was so heavy my wife and I only understood about 1/2 of what was said. Lastly, afterwards they had others doing additional excursion on the same bus so instead of going straight back, we had to go drop them off (added 30-40min to the ride back that we were not planning on.
