Go back in time to the days of Scarlet and Rhett. Enjoy a 45-minute, narrated excursion of Oak Alley Plantation, the "Grande Dame of the Great River Road". Located on the Mississippi River between the historic Louisiana cities of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, this may be the most photographed plantation ever! Your ticket includes narrated transportation to and from Oak Alley Plantation from the French Quarter, as well as admission to the plantation.
Your experience begins at a convenient location in the French Quarter, where you will meet your period-costumed guide and board your motorcoach to Oak Alley Plantation. The quarter-mile canopy of giant live oak trees, believed to be nearly 300 years old, forms an impressive avenue leading to the classic Greek-revival-style antebellum home. Do not forget your camera!
Oak Alley has been the setting for such motion pictures as "Interview with a Vampire", "Primary Colors," and the wedding of Bo and Hope from the daytime soap opera, "Days of Our Lives". Nowhere else in the south will you find such a spectacular setting! During your guided walk-thru of the plantation home, you will learn fascinating stories of the home and its history. Soak up the history, tales, and feel of the Old South.
At the end of your experience, your motor coach will return you to the French Quarter, where you are free to return to your cruise ship or hotel at your leisure and expense. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind experience of the Old South!
