Oak Alley Plantation
Experience a bygone era in one of the South's most beautiful settings - Oak Alley Plantation, built in 1839. Marvel at the unbelievable quarter-mile long alley of 28 magnificent Oak trees, each over 250 years old. Perhaps the most photographed plantation ever, Oak Alley has been the setting for such motion pictures as "Interview with a Vampire", "Primary Colors" and the wedding of Bo and Hope from the daytime soap opera, "Days of our Lives". Your guided Oak Valley Plantation tour will reveal the stories of the home and its history. View the Majestic Cypress Trees in Louisiana's swamps bordering the Mississippi River. You can purchase a snack, salad or sandwich in the Cafe and Ice Cream Parlor to enjoy at the picnic tables or aboard the coach (not included in price).

We had a wonderful experience at the plantation! We traveled with the Gray Line and the bus had a mechanic issue on our way to the plantation and the back of the bus was covered in smoke. Our guide/driver made a stop to check it but he was told by the company mechanic that it was ok and it was the residues of the new engine burning out. The group managed to vent the bus and the smoke was gone. The rest of the trip was fine and comfortable without any other issues. The plantation was beautiful and offered an unique experience! Despite the little hassle with the bus, we really enjoyed the tour!

Plantation was well worth seeing. Beautiful, but can't ever forget that it was built with slave labor. Would have preferred more time allowed to visit at the plantation- visit felt rushed.

Our driver, Bryant, was fantastic. Very insightful in a way that didn’t sound robotic and over rehearsed. The tour at oak valley was also very well.
