PICKUP POINTOak Alley Plantation is the most visited plantation in Louisiana, located halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It is well worth the visit when in New Orleans!
Our knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle and ensure it will be a day to remember. Oak Alley Plantation is a historic plantation settlement on the west bank of the Mississippi River. It is named for its distinguishing visual feature, 28 oak trees about 800 feet long, planted in the early 18th century — long before the present house was built.
The Bon Séjour plantation, as Oak Alley was initially named, was established to grow sugarcane by the French Creole owner Jacques Roman. The tour guide will share the story behind the plantation, its evolution, its owners, and enslaved people’s lives. Oak Alley, as a sugar plantation, was built by and relied on enslaved men, women, and children, who were owned and kept on the premises.
This plantation is famous for the beautiful scenery, green landscaping, gardens, and movies that were filmed there.

We very much enjoyed this tour. It was a beautiful plantation and depicted the history of slavery which was very sobering. Our tour guide was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. Definitely take the time to walk all of the grounds.

Nice change of pace to get out of the city. Relaxing experience. The one-hour drive to the plantation was fun and informative. Our guide Ron gave us a ton of history, pointed out many highlights along the way. The slavery exhibit was very touching, such a terrible part of history that should never be forgotten. A must-do experience.

This was a beautiful place to visit, and our guide-driver Greg was very knowledgeable and accommodating! He knew his material and also added a flair that emphasized and entertained. It was one of our favorites while visiting New Orleans, so interesting!
