Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Overview

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.

You'll be driven to the Oak Alley Plantation House, located about an hour and a half outside the city of New Orleans.

Oak Alley Plantation

The tour of the Oak Alley house is conducted by guides in authentic plantation style apparel. Walking is required for this tour. The distance from the plantation house to the restaurant and souvenir shop is about 1 block. There are benches along the path, shaded by the Oaks. The guided house tour will be about 35 minutes in length. The remainder of your time will be spent self-exploring the grounds. If you use your time wisely, you can grab a sandwich at the gift shop for lunch and still have time to walk the grounds.

Don’t count on the driver’s guide to teach you anything. Very nice house and park with its wooden houses for stopovers were interesting. On the other hand the guided tour of the house is done in less than 20 min and you will not be able to eat in the park contrary to what is written. We have to get out of the park

Thank you for your feedback. We do not have ownership over Oak Alley, but we will gladly forward your feedback to them. As for the driver, he or she is not obligated to give a tour while they are driving. Their only duty is to transport guests to and from the plantation safely.

It is a very interesting visit but there is very little time you can see the plantation since of the 5 hours of tour are 3 trips and only two on site The oak alley plantation is very interesting to visit the typical mansion of a sugar farm and know part of the life of the slaves who built it

Thank you for your feedback. The drive to and from the city to the plantation is about 1 1/2 hours. You are allotted 2 hours at plantation, with a 35 minute guided tour and the remaining time for a self guided tour.
