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 along the oak tree passageway before arriving at the mansion built in 1837. During the next half hour, we will enjoy a tour of the building's interior led by a professional guide in period costume.

During the mansion tour, we will discover the luxurious life of landowners and learn about the tragic history of the plantation, including how over 100 slaves worked at Oak Alley in subhuman conditions.

After the main house tour, you'll have an hour and a half to explore the location at your leisure. You can stroll through the grounds, viewing the slave houses, posters on the 'price' of black labor, the farm, various gardens, and more.

The tour concludes with our return to New Orleans, dropping you at your hotel by 1:30 pm.
