Review of the Oak Alley or Laura Plantation tour from New Orleans, with transport, costs, timing, history, comfort, and booking advice.

“Wanda was very nice and good conversationalist. We got stuck in traffic jam on I 10. This made us late arriving at the Oak Alley Plantation. The plantation is gorgeous and while I appreciated the information on the family that built it and the dark history of those times, I would have liked more information on the house, property, other structures and the restoration process. The time alloted for the visit was cut short due to the traffic jam, and I felt it was already not enough time to see and do everything there is to do there. The transport bus needs some serious suspension and/or shock absorber maintenance. Would…”

“Very comfortable ride despite Louisiana’s inconsistent road infrastructure. Van was air conditioned and comfortable; Edward our driver was extremely knowledgeable and gave a great tour on the ride to and from the plantation. He was also a very safe driver. The Laura Plantation is beautiful and the tour guide was also very knowledgeable and covered all the good and bad parts of the plantation history. I appreciate that the plantation doesn’t focus as much on the buildings or preserved artifacts but more of the people who lived there and how the changing political climate affected them. We finished the entire tour in about 70 minutes and it felt sufficient. The…”
