You will have the opportunity to have lunch at the restaurant or deli. You can spend a few moments in the gift shop, at the bar, or just sit under the many oak trees on the plantation.

Wonderful Tours! - We did a combination tour of Oak Alley Plantation and a swamp tour. Both tours were very interesting. Got to see lots of wildlife on the swamp tour. What made the day even better was our driver, Kin. He picks you up from your hotel, takes you to the scheduled tours, and takes care of checking you in. Then comes back to pick you up. Communication was great. He even called to tell us he might not make it back in time to get us from our swamp tour because he got stuck by a parade in the French Quarter. He arranged for us to go back with a tour bus if he couldn’t get there in time. He shares a lot of history on the drive back and forth. Highly recommend!

2 Tours, Lots of Fun! - Kin, the initial tour guide & driver was fantastic and knowledgeable. We went to Oak Alley plantation as well as Cajun Swamp tour. Both tours were fun and a great learning experience about Creole & Cajun culture.

Kin was honestly amazing.... - Kin was honestly amazing. I was supposed to be on a group plantation and swamp tour, but some people canceled last minute and I ended up being the only one. Instead of canceling on me, he still took me and turned it into a private tour, which I really appreciated.
He didn’t hold back at all just because it was only me. He really took the time to teach me the history, answer my questions, and make the experience feel meaningful.
He picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel, gave great food recommendations, and just went above and beyond. His van was super clean and spacious, had charging ports, and he even gave out water, which was a really nice and needed touch.
I’m really glad I booked this tour. If you’re thinking about it, definitely go with K’s Luxury Transportation and Tour.

Amazing tour! - Let me start by saying that this is the only company that gives you three hours for the Oak Alley tour, which is great because it doesn't feel rushed at all. It's the perfect amount of time, really. And our guide, Kindrell, was fantastic! He told us all about New Orleans on the drive over. The swamp was seriously amazing, a great addition. We saw tons of alligators, and our local Cajun guide, Tom, was super experienced and really cared about the gators. Honestly, this was one of the best tours we've done in the US.

Highlight of our trip - Kin was amazing! He made sure we were well taken care of and that we had information we needed to get the most of our tours. He provided excellent service and provided interesting information about the area on the way there and back. He even provided suggestions for restaurants, too. Captain Tom was great, too. We saw lots of gators, pigs, and raccoons. Oak Alley was beautiful and their staff was very friendly.

Above and beyond! - Kindrell was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The plantation tour itself was amazing, but Kindrell really went out of his was to tell us about the city along the way and stopped to let us get pictures on the way to the plantation. The van was comfortable and clean and he even had chargers available for anyone who needed to charge their phone. He went above and beyond! We even took his recommendation on a good restaurant and super fun haunted house he told us about!! (Kindrell take your wife and kids it was a blast!)

Kin provides great... - Kin provides great service for this tour. He gives insight to New Orleans as he drives you to the Plantation and the swap tour. He drops you off for both experiences, but makes sure you are well informed as to where to go and what to see. He made a wet and rainy day quite enjoyable!

Great Tour - Caring and Knowledgable Guide (Kindrell) - We had the best time on this tour with Kindrell. From the moment we got started, it was clear how much he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. He checked in often, made sure we were comfortable, and gave thoughtful answers to every question along the way.
He personally connected us with the plantation and swamp tour guides, and both of those experiences were excellent as well — very professional and well done. What stood out most, though, was Kindrell himself. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the city and all it has to offer, and he shared insights and stories that made the whole day feel richer and more personal.
If you’re looking for a tour that feels personal and memorable, you’ll be in great hands with Kindrell.
