Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

I enjoyed my time here. Very informative with time to still explore on my own. Very friendly grounds keeper named Charlotte, I was so happy to meet. Eerily calm and quiet with lots of opportunity for reflection. Thank you

A very beautiful place to visit with alot of history. Sadden to see how my fellow Americans had lived during those times. The tour was amazing and can’t wait to bring the family to see the grounds. The scripts were short and to the point.

Wonderful tour to a beautiful Plantation. Our driver Gary was funny, professional and informative on the hour ride from New Orleans. We had ample time to tour the house and grounds. The return ride was a bit confusing, as there were different tours combined into one bus. It was all handled well and more of an issue of the other guests than the tour operator. If you've ever wanted to see Oak Alley don't hesitate to book this tour.

I felt the tour was too short. Our house tour was rushed compared to other ones. I feel a couple more hours we’re needed to experience the restaurant and visit the store.

It was very interesting. It wish we had one more hour there. It was to short time there to see it all. It would be better if the pick up was at one place, it took very long time to pick up everybody and we had to wait for people who did not show up in time.

Worse bus I have ever ridden. Arrived at hotel half hour late, Drove maybe 5 blocks then we had to get off and wait for another bus. Seats were cramped, had to ask for a/c, couldn't hear driver talk. Every time bus hit pothole or bump we were thrown up and out of our seats. GET BETTER BUSES!

The main attraction which was seeing the main house was disappointing. You only saw 3 rooms (not counting the previous owner room) They glossed over the cruelty of slavery and planation life. The outdoor conversation were much better and more respectable in regards to telling the real story of the life of slaves on a plantation. Also dissapointed that no funds go to support any American charities considering this plantation was built on the backs of slaves, and money is still being made by glamorising the history of plantation life.

Excellent most knowable tour guide. Friendly staff that assist your needs. Most beautiful alley of majestic 300 to 600 hundred year old oak trees!! What more can one say.

Oak Alley Plantation was beautiful and worth the visit. Surprisingly the food in the gift shop was yummy. However the transportation from New Orleans to the site was a joke. First a large party was picked up that had reserved tickets but had not paid. We spent 20 minutes parked as payment was sorted out which directly cut into our visit time at the plantation. Once on our way the tour driver would not point out points of interest along the way since some passengers in the back were loud. On the return trip rather than driving directly back to the city we drove to meet another bus near a swamp tour drop off since some of the passengers were going on a different tour. Finally once back in the city the bus driver drove directly past our hotel since for some reason she was scheduled to drop off another passenger first. When stopped at a light a few blocks past the hotel we asked if she could just let us out and we would walk. Overall transportation was a disaster. I would be more likely to rent a car and drive myself.

This tour was perfect for getting a view of plantation life from both perspectives. Our tour bus picked us up at our hotel (you have to designate this option) and the drive was full of information along the way. the plantation is beautiful and the tour guides informative. Nice way to spend the day and to get a small glimpse of life in the 1800's.
