Oak Alley Plantation, Vacherie

Stunning view of the oak lined boardwalk. We did the tour of the big house and highly recommend it. Anthony was our guide and was full of interesting facts. He did a great job telling all about the house; his original accent really added to the experience. As good as the tour was, the highlight is walking the grounds. Everywhere you go is a great area for a photo shoot. We all really enjoyed the experience. The grounds are beautifully maintained. 5 stars

Delightful! We loved it! We got there for the earliest tour in the morning and it was just perfect because we had the time to enjoy the beautiful 200 years old oaks and the alley before it got crowdier. We loved the house, it was so well preserved! The tour guide was very nice and she answered to all our questions. Maybe the tour was a little bit too fast (we would have liked to have more time to read about the history of the place, about the artifacts, but while we were doing that the tour guide was already talking in another room so we had to rush). Also, you can’t take pictures on the inside which we would have loved to, but at least we could take pictures on the balcony and it’s definitely a view worth taking pictures of! It was very nice to visit also the slave houses and learn more about the history and evolution of the plantation, it made the whole visit more grounded in the reality. It’s an hour from New Orleans, but if you have the chance, absolutely go and visit it, it’s worth it!

It is an amazing plantation, rich in cultural history, incredible architecture, and an intriguing life story behind it! The land around the main home is breathtaking!! The huge trees, and fields as far as you can see. Staff here are so genuinely friendly and helpful. We went in the little store and there are such an interesting variety of gifts, or souvenirs. I enjoyed every moment of this tour!! They also have a bar outside that offers you authentic drinks from the time period this was a working plantation. Mint julep was one!! It's a lot of fun!!

Oak Alley Plantation is a very beautiful place to visit. The home was built in the 1840s and is beautiful on the inside. They do not allow pictures to be taken inside the big house. You can take all the pictures and videos of the outside and of the slave quarters. The trees on the premises are over 200 years old. I highly recommend if your in the area to stop by and see it! They do charge admission and offer military discounts. You can spend as much time as you want visiting the outside and out buildings.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She explained the history and the different families that have owned the property through the years. Not sure why but you can't take pictures inside the main house. I really would have liked to so I could have different pictures than the website. Other than the main house the rest is self guided and you can take pictures. There are signs throughout to explain what you are looking at.
