Oak Alley Plantation Tour Reviews

The grounds were beautifully kept and the 28 oaks are genuinely something to see. Watching sugar cane still growing on site was a nice surprise.

The most beautiful plantation we have visited — the oak trees are magnificent. The tour was super informative about the family history and the current state of the site.

The beauty of this place is exquisite and the live oaks are the real show. Stunning landscaping, and an honest, educational stop.

Oak Alley is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. Small thing, but even the public restrooms were the cleanest I have been in.

Marcus, our in-house guide, did an amazing job with the history of the home. The house is lovely, as are the grounds, and the gift-shop staff were fun.

Our guide was excellent, with a lot of information not just about the plantation but the wider area and good local recommendations too.

The mansion and grounds are very well preserved. The guided house tour is paid, but access to the gardens and the former slave quarters is free.

A very knowledgeable guide with lots of history and interesting stories about the family. Beautiful property and a wonderful gift shop.

Our guides explained how the site has done far more in recent years to tell the story of the enslaved people who lived and died here. I was glad they said so.

The plantation exhibits and tour were very interesting. This ongoing chapter of American history needs to keep being re-examined, and the site takes that seriously.

Both plantations offered rich, detailed insight, and the way the stories were told made the past feel very real — a powerful and necessary perspective.

A self-guided exhibit focuses on individuals who were enslaved here, including life after emancipation. It stops you reading the place as merely picturesque.

The plantation was lovely, and on the swamp boat our captain found us alligators, raccoons, boars and turtles. A beautiful day and a real education.

The plantation was gorgeous and our guide a wealth of knowledge, and the airboat was the highlight — so many gators, plus an owl.

The only company that gives you three hours at Oak Alley, so nothing felt rushed, and the swamp with Captain Tom was seriously amazing.

The plantation tour was informative and the airboat is the only way to see the swamp — you get right in among the wildlife. A proper full day.

A great trip that fitted perfectly into our last half-day in New Orleans. Punctual, friendly driver and a smooth run out and back.

Kin took extra steps to make sure we enjoyed the day — hotel pickup, clear instructions on where to meet, and history the whole way out.

The all-day tour was well run, with the swamp first and Oak Alley after. Communication about pickup and drop-off was spot on.

Great there and back with our driver. If anything I wanted a little longer on the property — two hours goes quickly, so plan your time.
