The Oak Alley house and grounds were beautiful, and I enjoyed eating at the restaurant. However the overall experience at the plantation left me underwhelmed. Tours were kicking off on a regular basis so the actual tour was quicker than I expected and only of the house and nothing more. From the website, I had presumed the tour would also give me an insight into the lives of those trapped in slavery. This side of the story was very brief and shallow in depth. I wasn't the only guest asking if the tour would include the slave quarters etc, which it didn't. We looked through the slave quarters ourselves but they appeared newly built and, to my limited understanding, not an accurate historical representation.
Our swamp tour was delayed due to lightening in the area. The company did organise an alternative day for us, but there were 9 on the boat. This was disappointing as I had paid extra to go in a small group (no more than 6 people from memory), however the group we went with were very nice so I wasn't too concerned. I was impressed by our boat driver/captain/guide, whose knowledge of local flora and fauna was very good.

Gary was an engaging and entertaining driver who kept us captivated during our drive to Oak Alley. He shared his personal experiences during Hurricane Katrina, which truly held everyone's attention. Upon our arrival at Oak Alley, we were fortunate to have Mr. Anthony as our private tour guide, and he was absolutely phenomenal. This was my second visit to this historic home, and Mr. Anthony offered new insights, particularly regarding the enslaved Africans, including fascinating details about Deterville that I hadn’t heard before. I would highly recommend calling ahead to see if you can book a tour with Mr. Anthony. After the tour, he graciously provided additional information that time had not permitted during our walk through the home. Mr. Anthony’s expertise and passion made this trip truly memorable and sparked my desire to learn more about Oak Alley.
