A very interesting and beautiful place, a pleasant and informative experience, full of history, and the guide was clear and friendly.
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.

Everything was as stated. A little more time to walk around would have been nice. The gardens are beautiful and the grounds are meticulous.

Oak Alley Plantation is a lovely location, beautiful house, and grounds. The oak trees are particularly impressive!
Our bus driver, Keith, was fantastic!

We all enjoyed this excursion. Great little half day trip from NOLA. Excellent view at the history. Would recommend.

Really good trip, picked up from the hotel. The plantation was lovely (although I am a fan of amazing trees, and there were some amazing 250yr old Oaks on the drive). Great tour by the Plantation Foundation lady (Jackie, I think). The only downside was that we were not dropped back at the hotel and had to walk three blocks.
