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.Know More about this tour

We were picked up from hotel on time. The tour is properly scheduled. Oak Alley Plantation is amazing.

Giant Oak trees, beautiful gift shop and restaurant. Lawn was emaculant. Reproduction of old antique furniture was beautiful.
-
The tour bus was on time. Gary, our driver was friendly and engaging. Told us stories, history of the area, Katrina, plantations,. He was very clear in giving us his directions. He was a safe driver. I would recommend the Oak Alley plantation highly.

À visiter au moins une fois dans sa vie. Bien organisé, visite intéressante. Histoire bien expliquée. Magnifiques photos !
-
It was a nice tour, but it is a little rushed. Could use an extra hour to walk the grounds. The tour inside was informative but the group is a little big for the tour. Not everyone can fit in the room, missed some information due to not being able to hear well.
-
The plantation tour. L9ved the grounds. Check out your website, does not well for changing the no. In your party
-
I would recommend my experience solely because the plantation and tour guide were fantastic. However, coordination with the travel company and logistics were awful. Extremely disorganized pickup. Three stars because the tour driver (Gary)was wonderful.
-
Plantation trip was great, bus ride back was extremely bumpy and uncomfortable. Time schedule was very tight and rushed our lunch. It was nice to have time to wander the grounds before visiting the house.
-
The grounds are beautiful. The organization that does the house tour are very knowledgeable and you will come away with a better understanding of history

Honesty i learn a lot but i got offensive going to the gift store n i seen two black slaves dolls next to the books, I did say something but the young girls didn't understand, they didn't had none African American tour guide there also. I hate the fact the plantation had a bed an breakfast over night stay that truly offensive to people of color.
