What a great trip. Our driver was wonderful. He kept up a running commentary of what we were seeing along the route. The plantation was nice and the pralines were the best

takes 1.5 hours to get there and then another 1.5 hours to get back. had a mint julep and had to throw it out, it had so much whiskey and bourbon in it. the tour was interesting but i wish we saw where the slaves stayed and more stories about that.

The bus driver gave us an mini tour as we drove from the city out to Oak Alley. I wasn't expecting that and it was very nice. The plantation grounds, the trees and the house are lovely. The tour at the house was nice, but could have been done a little more efficiently, as our tour was stuck out on the veranda while another tour was upstairs. Since we had a deadline to get back to the bus, this wasted valuable time that could have been spent exploring the grounds, shopping or eating.

If looking for an insight into plantation life and life in the south this tour is very well suited.

We are telling everyone what a GREAT tour this was, just wish we had been able to stay longer at the plantation for the amount of time it took us to get there.
