Oak Alley Plantation

Oak Alley plantation gets its name from the spectacular quarter mile tunnel of 28 oak trees that frame the driveway as you approach. Built in 1839 and facing the Mississippi River, the magnificent entrance to Oak Alley Plantation makes it a “Must See” destination on everyone’s list of historic Louisiana sites. This plantation was originally named Bon Séjour (“pleasant sojourn”), but became known as Oak Alley when riverboat passengers floating by marveled at the double row of giant oak trees leading to the mansion. Thanks to its classic appearance and beautiful restoration, Oak Alley Plantation has been featured in a number of movies and TV series, including the movie “Interview with a Vampire,” and Beyonce’s “Deja Vu” music video. During your tour, you’ll hear from expert guides in period dress, as they recount the factual history of the mansion and immerse you in another time. The tour will bring you through several interior rooms of the plantation, as well as upstairs, where you’ll step outside to take in a breathtaking view of the centuries-old Oak trees and surrounding grounds. After your tour, we’ll give you some time to explore the vast grounds surrounding Oak Alley, which include fascinating exhibits, recreated slave quarters, and of course, countless views of the Oaks themselves that have made this plantation famous. Oak Alley plantation also features a restaurant serving traditional southern fare, ready-made sandwiches and snacks, gift shop, and on-site bar staff ready to whip up a refreshing mint julep.

I had an amazing experience learning about the history and family tree and the creels. Learning about how the slaves lived was also very exiting. This couldn’t have happend with our amazing tour guide Derek that was funny and honest. He gave us advise about our trip and made it more fun and made the bus ride exiting.

Wanted to visit a sugar cane plantation because my grandfather was born and raised on one in the late 1870's. The tour was very informative and interesting.

This trip was truly terrible. Please note this trip is run by Cajun Encounters, not Viator. I selected this trip because I had read reviews of other people missing the pick up window and I didn’t want to have that worry on my vacation. As per my picture, we arrived at the pick up location at 9:36am for 10am departure. When we arrived there wasn’t a bus so I called the company. They said they had just tried calling me (my phone didn’t ring) and the bus had waited 15 minutes for us and then left. The customer service agent continued to argue with me for several minutes until I asked her what could be done. She told me there was another pick up at 10am and maybe we could make that stop. It probably would have been best to start with this information as my husband and I called an Uber and were able to make it to the final stop at 9:59. Oak Alley was beautiful, we had a wonderful relaxing time. They told us to be back at the bus by 3pm. Naturally, we were on the bus by 2:45pm and the tour bus driver counted the number of passengers twice and then pulled away at 3:03pm. However about half way thru our trip back to New Orleans the bus seemed to turn around. We drove all the way back to Oak Alley because we had left 2 passengers there. We didn’t get back to New Orleans until 5:45pm. Please find another tour company to take you to Oak Alley if you choose to visit.

Wonderful Plantation Tour. Larry “Bam Bam” is a wonderful driver and guide! The plantation gives you a glimpse of anti-bellum South Louisiana. It was great to get out of the city for a day. Our docent, Ann, was informed and informative. Great way to spend a day.

Be ready to hang out by yourself doing nothing for at least 3 hours. This tour consist in driving you to the oak alley plantation and thats it. The guide leave at 11:00am and pick up you back at 3:20pm, the tour inside the house last 30 mins. What the dont specify in the description is that if you dont purchase the option to visit Laurel (another house) you will need to wait for the people who did, because is the same bus for everyone. Save your money and go with someone else, don't matter if it's a little pricier

We were not able to visit Oak Alley because it was closed but the tour company call us and scheduled us for Houmas House and it did not disappoint! Our tour Renee was so knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to tour the plantation, walk around the gardens, eat and get a beverage at the bar. Incredible experience that did not disappoint!!
