Come enjoy her beauty and dream of her rich past . . .

After years of extensive research the tour guides now present a more accurate history of the Roman family and the slaves who built this beautiful plantation with their bare hands. This is my second visit, the last one was 8 years ago, and I think the tour of the house has vastly improved. I appreciated more historical insight into plantation life rather than guides dressed in period clothing glamorizing the era etc. They also changed some of the stories they told previously because they discovered these stories weren't actua... read more
I loved everything about my stay at Oak Alley. We stayed in the milk shed and it was very comfortable and relaxing. It was nice to sit on the balconies with a mint julep, friends and family. The food, drinks, and grounds were amazing. I hope to visit again one day. Thank you.
I've been here twice and it's always beautiful. The house tour is great and the tour of the slave quarters is self-guided, so you can do everything at your own leisure.
My visit today to Oak Alley was Majestic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the plantation is beautiful. After reading a few other reviews I'm a little confused.

RecommendedThis place is beautiful, filled with character and history and the cabins are just perfect! Too bad we could only stay one night!
We actually went to the Laura plantation first & really enjoyed it there with our tour guide! This was the second house we visited & it was more self guided, although we did get a tour of the house which was beautiful & our guide told us a brief story on its history & the families that lived there. It would of been nice to have had other staff members scattered around the out buildings maybe even dressed in outfits of that era to answer Questions & give brief talks on the displays! We had 2 teenage boys with us & they both r... read more
