Oak Alley Plantation Tour

A magnificent mansion, a beautiful oak tree tunnel, and one of the darkest chapters in American history await you on this
tour of Oak Alley - one of the oldest and best-preserved plantations in Louisiana.

Oak Alley Plantation Tour

After picking you up from your hotel in New Orleans between 8:15 and 8:45 am, we will head to the Oak Alley plantation, located about an hour and a quarter away on the banks of the Mississippi River.

We will proceed through the oak tree passageway that names the plantation and arrive at the mansion built in 1837. Next, we will experience a 30-minute guided tour of the mansion's interior, led by a professional guide in period costume.

During the mansion tour, you'll learn about the life of the landowners and the difficult history of slavery in the U.S., including that over 100 slaves worked at the Oak Alley plantation.

After the main house visit, you will have an hour and a half to explore the grounds at your leisure. You may see the slave houses, exhibits on the 'price' of black labor, the farm, and various gardens.

The tour concludes with a return to New Orleans, with drop-off at your hotel by 1:30 pm.
