Highly Recommend!!! - We had the best experience with our driver and tour guide, Lorraine. She taught us all about the history of New Orleans and surrounding parishes. She was a great driver. The state of the tour bus was impeccable. She was very courteous and made sure to check in with us to make sure we were comfortable regarding the air conditioning. I cannot give her a higher review. She was fantastic! As for the entire tour itself, we were very, very glad to have been to Oak Alley, which is beautiful. The tour guide of the house itself, Marcus, was also very well spoken, and very well informed and was a great teacher. The mint julep was very very good and the pralines are the best in the area. Even the employees and their gift shop were absolutely lovely. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful... - We had a wonderful experience. Shout out to the driver I appreciate his kindness and patience in getting my belongings back to me. The property was gorgeous it was where Interview with the Vampire was filmed I would have appreciated a more robust historical background that focuses on the enslaved experience as opposed to the celebration of the economic sugar boom ie sugar theater

Exploring Oak Alley plantation - Everything was as stated. A little more time to walk around would have been nice. The gardens are beautiful and the grounds are meticulous.

Disastrous tour at nice place - The plantarion is worth the visit but I did not enjoy the experience overall. From the beginning we were picked up at our hotel by Alert Transportation and the driver didn't greet us, neither responded to our greeting. Then he sped all the way and we felt like sacked potatoes in the van, to just park and have us to wait 20 minutes before the transfer to another van. So what was the rush for? Then the next driver treated us like children making strong remarks to use the bathroom. We are not elementary school, but adults. Then she took about 20 minutes to charge last minute people that join the tour because she didn't know how to use the card machine and went on a endless speech how many technicalities her job requires. I don't need to know that. Then we drove one hour to the plantation with a deafening beeping sound alerting the waters levels in the van were low. Don't they check their cars prior to transporting people? Inside the Oak Plantation the tour was rushed, no time to see the pieces only to hear the guide, who made excessive warnings aa don't touch, don't seat, don't lock, etc. Then I ordered a drink at the mansion but the card machine was not working, wasted 15 minutes until she accepted my cash. In the end of the day we are on vacation to have fun. We sign for tours and expect enjoyment and basic standard of professionalism that were not met in this tour. Be aware that they only drive you to the plantation, nothing else.
