It was beautiful and exactly how I had pictured it actually looking when I saw it on my favorite tv show. The tour was great worth the price, the guide was very knowledgeable! also don't forget to try... More

This is the plantation I wanted to visit the most...it was truly beautiful. We loved being able to take our mint juleps and lemonade on the tour. Our tour guide was kind of robotic and bored sounding, but it was still very informative and a nice tour. More

I've been to Oak Alley three times over the past five years, and continue to be impressed with the knowledge of the on-site staff as they guide their tour groups through the plantation house. Great upkeep of the property, nice cafe and restaurant, and reasonably priced gift shop. A must-visit site in southern Louisiana if looking for a little history.... More

I had visited the San Francisco Plantation a few years ago, but this one was what I really expected in a traditional plantation. The staff were very friendly. Loved the house and the trees! More

We visited Oak Alley as part of a plantation tour and found it to be fascinating and full of history. The property and grounds have been well maintained, so visitors get a better sense of the property's history. Our tour guide provided a lot of interesting information about its history and life in the house. A lovely excursion. More

You cannot possibly take enough pictures of the historic oak trees. We were in NOLA for a few days and wanted to go to one of the plantations, we considered Laura plantation and the Oak alley based on the reviews. Picked this one since it just looked so beautiful. If you are in the NOLA area and have a car,... More

Beautiful location. The oak trees alone are worth the tour. Our tour guide, whose name escapes me, was witty, informative and a joy. This was my 2nd plantation tour of the day. A must see!! More
