What To Expect

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).

Lake Pontchartrain

Although called a lake, this is actually a large lagoon and brackish estuary fed by fresh water rivers and connected to the Gulf of Mexico. Covering 630 square miles (1600 km2) it is one of the largest wetlands in North America.

Historic plantation, circa 1830, that remains a family owned working sugar plantation today along with sister property Felicity Plantation, circa 1846.

Our driver narrated the entire tour with bits and pieces of information about every area we passed through. He was able to hold our attention with stories of the old south and sugar plantation life making the ride interesting. By the time we got to the Oak Alley Plantation we were able to feel like we were back in the day when it was operational. Beautiful place with many photo ops. Great tour to take for all ages.

We left the French Quarter promptly at noon and arrived at Oak Alley at about 1:15. We were instructed to be back on the bus at 3:00-so really had less than 2 hours to explore the plantation. We were back to town a little after 4 instead of 5 as promised (would have loved more time at the plantation). Our bus driver was informative and gave us good information on the way to Oak Alley. He told us to meet at the house in 1/2 hour to start our tour-when in reality we could have gotten in line for the tour right away and would have had more time to explore the grounds. The tour itself was very informative and you got lots of history about the plantation. Don't be late for the bus on the way back, our driver waited 10 minutes and left 2 people from the tour behind.

The guide was knowledgeable and the plantation beautiful. I wish we had more time to explore the grounds and shops of the plantation. It seems that I spent whatever free time we were allowed in line at the bathroom.
