Oak Alley Plantation Half-Day Tour from New Orleans

Posted By : 230gaias
We booked the visit to the Oak Alley plantation with hotel pick-up and return. Everything went perfectly: pick up on time, travel in a comfortable minibus with other participants and the driver who told us a little about New Orleans and its surroundings. Once we arrived at the plantation we were given the entrance ticket to view the main building. The guide was very nice and prepared. We also had some free time to visit the gardens and slave houses and to have something to drink or eat before leaving. The return trip was equally comfortable to our hotel. I recommend this tour company without a shadow of a doubt!

This was fun, but it made me sad! However we should always learn about our history so we can learn and grow!

What to expect: if you don’t go on the airboat ride and just take the Oak Alley plantation tour, you will remain on the bus an hour extra to drop off airboat people before you turn back to New Orleans. This was not mentioned in what to expect.

Excellent from hotel pickup to drop off. Driver Gary was a Katrina survivor and told us his story. Plantation was incredible.

Almost missed the trip since the email told us we would be picked up on the opposite side of the hotel. We’d have never seen the bus if hotel employee hadn’t said asked us who we were waiting on. The plantation itself was beautiful and interesting but the guided part was only 30min and his cajun accent was so heavy my wife and I only understood about 1/2 of what was said. Lastly, afterwards they had others doing additional excursion on the same bus so instead of going straight back, we had to go drop them off (added 30-40min to the ride back that we were not planning on.

Oak Alley is wonderful and many things to do and see, but with this tour, had only about 2 hours to see everything. We spent time picking up others for tour and changing buses. More than half of the tour group was doing the Swamp tour and we had to drop them off for that. Did not have enough time to walk the entire plantation or do the extra tours on the plantation. Would suggest finding a tour that only does Oak Alley so that enough time can be spent there and you can see everything. Our tour said only Oak Alley, but ending up with people for the Swamp tour too.

Oak alley plantation was georgeous! It definitely worths a visit. We had two problems with the tour. We were on time waiting for the bus, but they didn’t explain that we had to stay on the sidewalk (we were at the hotel lobby). They left, and we had to call them back. Inside the bus, the driver spoke all the time, obviously looking for the tip. We would have appreciated some moments of peace and quietness
