We (Family with Adult Children) did the Oak Alley Plantation & Swamp Tour, this was a great day out tour 5 Dec 22 (approx 7.5hrs). Jim the bus tour guide, was well informed had detailed and enjoyable tales of all the history along they way to both the plantation and swamp cruise. Now if your really good guests on the bus you may be entertained with your very own on the bus Mardi gras 😁📿. We couldn't be more impressed with Darryl the driver of the bus, his ability to drive safely around the New Orleans Traffic should be awarded 🥇. Thank you to Gray Line New Orleans, Jim & Darryl.
Just a notes and I don't know if all plantation house tours are the same, but you are not permitted to take any photos inside Oak Alleys house. But you are able to take photos every else around the plantation. All the guides and staff on the plantation are well informed on the history their and letting me know if the Festival of Fire 🔥 on 24th Dec, which sounds fantastic, so if your in New Orleans Christmas Eve, go check it out.
The swap cruise goes for 1.5hr and you not only see alligators, but wild hogs, raccoons, turtles, grave sites and Captain Dan is very entertaining, I hope you get surprise with a close encounter with Bruce the alligator 🐊
