Description
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. Upgrade your experience to include a 3-hour city and cemetery tour of New Orleans with a stop to tour the above ground tombs at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3.

Highly recommended
Everything was in order. Outbound 1.5h, stay 1.5h, return 1.5h. The time is adequate to see what there is. The explanation at the plantation was very kind and complete. He took photos of us, he knew a lot. The exterior trees are stunning. They could turn on the air conditioning or fix up the area where the sugar production is explained, and the girls in the shop were a bit pushy. But kind. Everything great

Oak alley Plantation tour
The driver and the Plantation tour was great and educational but it did say city tour and I assumed we will actually go in the city but we were given information of landmarks we saw while passing the freeway, we were never near it except the plantation itself

There is a difference
This tour highlights the history of the property. Not so much about slavery. So if I come back I would definitely do the Whitney plantation.

Great visit
I visited Oak Alley Plantation over the weekend, and I really enjoyed my experience. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and well maintained, making it a great place to explore and take photos. The first part of the visit was self-guided, which gave us time to walk around and take everything in at our own pace. The guided tour of the Big House was the highlight of the visit. Our tour guide, Anthony, was incredibly informative, friendly, and welcoming. He shared so much history and answered questions in a way that kept everyone engaged. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the New Orleans area. The beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and excellent tour made it a memorable visit.

Great experience but lots of walking. I was not disappointed.
It is a beautiful place. I am glad we went. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the house tour. They had told me that it was not wheelchair friendly I had hoped that I could do it with my walker. Nope but I sent my son to the house tour and I just enjoyed the beauty of the grounds. It was still worth the trip.

Great tour, bad driver
The tour was great! Our shuttle driver however was very rude which was unfortunate and set kind of a bad mood for the start. The rest of the experience was fantastic otherwise

Plantation house is interesting
The plantation house was interesting to look round and some history to the families that lived there.
