Oak Alley Plantation Reviews
The oak alley plantation may be the best plantation I’ve ever been too I’ve seen many don’t take this as racism please but because I’m a historian I met a young fellow reenactment of Romeo and Juliet with their cousins I fell in love with the place but the staff didn’t a few rude people but comes with the house as many acted like they were living in 1899 the house we went at night from the French American city nearby Denis or something my friend lenny was hurled insults...read full review
Our tour guide, Aimee, was so amazing. She did a really great job of explaining all of the history of the Plantation. The grounds were so well kept and gorgeous. There are so many picture opportunities on the outside of the main house, but you can not take any pictures inside. The experience was eye-opening to hear about the experience of both Plantation owners and the slaves. Would definitely recommend the experience.

Would we recommend? Absolutely!A historic, large, & luxurious plantation full of dark history - history nonetheless.The lives impacted by this operation is truly saddening to contemplate! Eerily, as we walked onto the property, we felt a profound awareness of what tragedy transpired on the grounds! We toured the mansion/house, and as we walked among the homes of the slaves and the mighty oak trees on the ally, we pondered, "If these trees or walls could talk"!
