Alexander
We had a great half a day tour trip with our driver Barbara who was very nice, courteous and knowledgeable. Everything was well organized and smooth. We learned a lot and were able to see everything in a time allowed. Thank you very much Barbara and entire company for this unforgettable experience!
Robert
Probably the best plantation in all Louisiana. The tunnel view of live oak trees is simply amazing! The house is very nice along with the cabins. Lots of history at this place. Also, check out the gift shop which has treats and souvenirs.
Ethan
The plantation is beautiful and expansive. The tour of the “big house” was informative and the guide could give detailed answers to any questions we had. They, however, state as no longer selling tickets after 4:30pm and closing at 4:45pm. At 4:15pm they were already closing up the exhibits and rushing us out. It was a shame given the tickets are quite expensive. It’s worth a visit, but expensive and be sure to go with plenty of time.
Bruce
The 250 year old live oak lined lane rivals the opulent plantation house in magnificence! Many furnature pieces are original. The dining room's ceiling fan is remarkable. Great photo opportunities from the second floor wrap around verandah. The slave quarters cabins are filled with artifacts and vital interpretive information. Property has a gracious restaurant and fun gift shop. Try the complementy moonshine samples!
Barbara
Short drive from New Orleans, Oak Alley Planation is a beautiful place to step back and learn about history. Take time to walk the grounds and stop in the slave quarters to reflect on the lives these individuals lived. Take a tour of the big house and learn more about Oak Alley’s history. They have a great restaurant on property that serves good southern food.

Oak Alley Plantation is an incredibly picturesque and memorable place to visit. We did quite a bit of research before choosing a plantation tour, especially since we had already done several history-heavy tours during our trip and were traveling with an 11-year-old and a few ADHD adults in our group 😊. We felt Oak Alley struck a really good balance. The tour was educational and historically accurate, and while the subject matter is understandably sobering, it was presented in a way that wasn’t overwhelming for the younger member of our group. We appreciated that it acknowledged the realities of plantation history without feeling too heavy for a family visit. We also loved the on-site food options. There is a full sit-down restaurant, but we recommend eating earlier in the day, as it was very busy by the afternoon. For us, the sandwich shop was perfect — quick, tasty, and exactly what we needed. The gift shop was another highlight, with lots of fun and thoughtful items to browse. Between the beautiful grounds, the iconic oak trees, the informative tour, and the convenient amenities, this was a really enjoyable stop. Overall, Oak Alley was a great choice for our group and a wonderful way to experience a plantation in a way that felt respectful, engaging, and manageable for everyone. We’re glad we chose it and would definitely recommend it.

I liked it very much, it was well organized and interesting. The only thing I felt we stayed little time in the house and we were transferred from our pick up bus to another one.
Karan
Lots of fun. Great photo opportunities and opportunity to learn. Amazing architecture and garden set up. Worth the trip
Felix
First I thought we would get a tour of the whole plantation, but the guided tour was only for the main house. Which in retrospect was perfectly fine, so we could explore the grounds on our own. Maybe 30min more time would have been nice but all in all really impressive!
Jay
It was incredible. The scenery and architecture was amazing and intriguing. The tour guides were highly professional and knowledgeable. Our driver Keith was very social and friendly as well as humorous. We need more people like him.
