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.
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!

You've seen the pictures, you've seen it in movies, you have an expectation of what it will be. When you get there it holds up and is just overwhelmingly interesting! I highly recommend a visit to this plantation! Take the guided tour. It's informative and interesting. Well worth the entrance fee! Photographers's note: most people think to get that iconic picture they need a wide angle shot. Stand far back in the lane between the trees and actually zoom in a bit and you will get the compressed shot I'm sharing here. Enjoy!

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.

Well maintained, friendly staff, gives a complete picture of life at the plantation, including the men and women who were enslaved there. Beautifully decorated for the holiday. Lovely gardens. Includes a film on modern sugar production. Allow 1.5 hours to visit. Tour tickets are timed.

Rachel
Our tour of Oak Alley was wonderful. Our driver was on time, provided interesting history of New Orleans, and the coach was comfortable for our travels to Oak Alley. We had sufficient time for the guided tour of the home and to explore the slaves quarters and the grounds.

Our bus driver was awesome! Our tour guide was very informative.
Jessica
Bus tour was great. The guide was funny and friendly. The tour guide at the place was rushed and pressed with the amount of people they had in the same session. It went by fast. It was 20min of plantation walk through. Not sure I would do it again. But it was very pretty to see once.

Gary was a great bus driver and kept our attention during the ride to the plantation! Great guy!
