Description

Journey through history with a tour of the Oak Alley Plantation departing from New Orleans. Begin with a ride from your hotel to the plantation, about 70 miles from the French Quarter. Upon arrival, be welcomed by the sight of 28 oak trees lining the path to the 1837 Greek Revival-style mansion. Begin with a 35-minute guided tour of the mansion, where guides will share compelling stories about the plantation’s history and architecture. After the house tour, get free time to explore the grounds at your own pace. Visit the blacksmith shop, admire the antique farm equipment, or enjoy a refreshing mint julep under the shade of the ancient oaks. The plantation also features a restaurant and a souvenir shop where you can buy keepsakes. Conclude the tour with a return trip to your hotel, arriving at around 2:30 PM.
