About this business
Come enjoy her beauty and dream of her rich past . . . Located on the Mississippi River between the historic Louisiana cities of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Oak Alley Plantation has been called the "Grande Dame of the Great River Road".

The guided tour of the “Big house exhibit” was a huge deception. The location is gorgeous but it’s a shame that we are not allowed to take pictures inside the premises.

RecommendedI loved the tour. It was a little shorter than I thought it would be, but it was still as informative as it could be about the family, the house, and the slaves in the time allotted. As much as it would have been cool to have had the guides in period dress, as many have stated in previous reviews, I'm sure that there are financial and statistical costs that go into continuing that, and, quite frankly, it's extremely hot in the summer months. The grounds are magnificent and I loved taking photos there.

Great piece of history, well presented
Such a Stunning Place!! My 2nd Time in New Orleans and i Had Previously Been to the Laura Plantation Which Was Also Amazing! But This Place Was a Dream of Mine to Come Visit on my 2nd Time in New Orleans!!
Beautiful place, full of history.
Beautifully maintained gardens and an informative tour.
