We did the Oak Alley / Laura Plantation Tour. It was a great trip despite the rain! More

After some serious research, I chose to visit the plantations with this company because they were the only one to offer the 2 plantation tour and because they drive on the Old River Road. Our guide Christoffe was great and made the trip to the plantations really entertaining. We chose the Oak Alley - Evergreen tour and couldn't dream for... More

We went on the afternoon tour on April 1st. We booked our tour from our hotel in the morning of the same day. The bus picked us up right on time. The trip was a half day which lasted 6 hours. We paid $70 per adult. The trip to the plantations took about an hour from downtown New Orleans. The... More

Hope you have the good fortune of having Richard as your driver. In addition to a great plantation tour, you will receive a remarkable education on New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. He also provided detailed instructions on what to expect at each stop, making this one of the best organized tours we've ever taken. We requested Oak Alley... More

We took the tour that went to Oak Alley, Evergreen and the Swamp tour. The tour is a little pricey but I feel that it was mostly worth it. The two plantations were gorgeous and included guided tours and ticket prices. Evergreen is especially worth the visit because it is the most intact plantation in the country - it has... More

I will preface this by saying I am a young traveler who is not a high maintenance individual. Overall, I feel that this trip gave me a once in a lifetime view of Lousianna's past and the area outside of the NOLa area so it was worth it. BUT I do feel that it was overpriced. The tour gide who... More

We had Richard as our tour guide/driver. Prompt pick up in the a.m. and a wake up call to make sure we were awake. He shared a lot of information about everything we saw on the way to our tour. Toured Evergreen and Oak Alley, also both awesome tours but very different. Only tip I would say is to pack... More

Don't listen to any of the complaints. The vehicle we had was comfortable. Our experience with Laura and Oak plantations was really good as well. The driver (an older gentleman) was an expert on the history of New Orleans and surrounding plantations. This was a half day well spent. More

This tour company was great. I was just talking to my wife, reminiscing about how wonderfully hilarious our guide was. To give some info, the price is high but it's worth it. We were staying in the French Quarter and they pick you up right at the hotel doorstep wherever you're staying. Comfy AC bus, not overcrowded at all. Even... More

We toured with Old River Road on Sunday morning during tropical storm Lee. That didn't dampen the tour at all! Our guide gave a very interesting commentary during the drive and was quite informative. We toured Oak Alley and Laura, both very interesting. We would highly recommend this company to everyone. You won't be disappointed. More
