Oak Alley Plantation And New Orleans City Tour

excellent tour. Guide Christopher was great.

Nice tour sites and guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Only negative is there no break for lunch or despite it lasting from 8am-5pm. Thats a long day without option for food, thankfully we brought snacks. The beignet/coffee shop at the park stop was only Option and it took us 30 min in line and wasn’t even great, but that wasn’t until 4pm ish on tour at the end.

Guide was very insightful. Guide was always caring about the guest. Great experience and the tour was on time.

Wonderfully preserved property. Be prepared for the emotional effects of the history that this property played a part in during slavery. Would have preferred to have more time to view the exhibits and gift shops.

Tour & exhibits were very informative. Oak Ally is as beautiful as always. As an added feature, our driver stopped at edge of road to show us an alligator q

Interesting and fun activity. We learned a lot about the plantation. Wish we could take photos of the inside of house.

The plantation tour was awesome. Nice sceneries, the driver/guide Wanda was super informative and caring. Oak Alley Plantation is worth visiting! There is no time between tours. You are dropped off at the hotel and the pick up for the city tour happens right away. We struggled as we could not eat lunch. The city tour is just a mini bus going around town, the only stop is at the cemetery, which I could pass. We cut the tour short and hopped into an Uber to the St Louis Cathedral to have some actual sightseeing at the square. The whole family was disappointed with the second portion of the trip.

I would rate it a 0. Viator’s booking never got to the company. I had to call when the shuttle did not pick me up. I was told that the tour was cancelled.

The route along I10 is very bumpy and load. The plantation gardens, this time of year, weren't as vibrant as expected. The main house and buildings are well maintained and the movie about sugar cane was very informative. Those with "stair climbing" disability, are given a chance to watch a video on the upstairs rooms. Unfortunately our tour bus had mechanical difficulties on our way back. Another vehicle showed up to return passengers to Hotels. There was very little communication with the driver from pickup to return, strange feeling.

The plantation tour was good and served it's purpose. The only reason my review isn't less is that the first part was good. However, thecity tour guide was horrible and the tour wasn't about the rich history of New Orleans but about hurricanes

The New Orleans City Tour was excellent with Gary K! The trip to the plantation was not a very good experience. The driver did not explain ANYTHING and barely spoke! Drove way too fast and did not even announce drop off location when returning us to our hotels. We barely got off the bus and the doors were closing and he was driving off. No idea what his name was since he said NOTHING! This was the Tuesday trip with pickup for the plantation 8-8:30am.

We enjoyed the New Orleans City tour the most. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We visited all of the major areas of the city. Would highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed ourselves Very informative & comfortable ride. Our expectations were met. I will recommend the Oak Alley Plantation & City Tour to everyone who visits.

Southern tours told me you had the wrong time and also overbooked the plantation trip. I am expecting a refund for that part of the trip The afternoon tour bus was filthy and barely air conditioned.

Prompt pick up and drop off. Excellent tour. No hassles of waiting in line. I’ve used them in the past and the service does not disappoint. A big 10!!

Oak Alley was great and Andy was wonderful on the city tour. Showed and told us so much information.

Wouldn't recommend this combo tour. It is actually two different tours and not one. There is a a break in between and they pick you up at your hotel twice. Well, at least in theory... While someone showed up for the first part (Oak Alley Plantation), no one showed up for the second part (New Orleans City Tours) at my hotel anymore. I waited half an hour in the lobby of my hotel for nothing. When I called the company, they said that they had to cancel because not enough people had signed up. They claimed that they emailed everyone who had booked via Viator about the cancellation. Nice, because I had booked via Tripadvisor and no one had thought about informing me. I definitely have no email from them. Also, the first tour of Oak Alley plantation was a bit underwhelming. Most of the tour is driving there, there is not much to see, the driver was super unmotivated and made that clear, and there were not even functioning seat-belts at most seats of the bus though you go an highway to get there. Everyone was jumping up and down in their seats with every pothole in the road as their buses basically have no damper it seems. Would certainly not book again.

Oak Alley was great- was scared about having enough time to see everything and make it back for the city tour. Definitely no time to eat between yours. City tour was awesome! Learned so much about the history of New Orleans and had a great time seeing the whole city. Gary was informative, fun, and a great driver. He sent texts to the group with restaurant suggestions and places to visit. Highly recommend!

The tour was fine, unfortunately there was a major traffic jam (not the drivers fault), and we were delayed in both directions. During the rush to get around traffic, the ride was very rough and uncomfortable.

Loved our guide for Oak Alley! Beautiful area that I highly recommend it! So glad I did this one. Great tour!

The Oak Alley Plantation our driver was very timely. The City tour was excellent with our tour guide Joseph. We learn a lot about New Orleans. He was so calm in driving busy and narrow streets.

The Tour was great, but you’ve gotta fix the back suspension is terrible. It was a Bone Crusher experience. If you’re an older person, don’t sit in the back of the bus

Knowledgable and friendly guides. Buses on time and communication between tour and us helped keep us updated.

Guides were very knowledgeable about every tour. Would definitely recommend. Gary was great on the city rour

This was a great tour. The history is so rich and our guides were amazing. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Gary was great for the city tour and very fun, funny. We had a great time and enjoyed learning more about the city of New Orleans!

The drive to the Plantation was rough, I guess roads are not in a very good condition. Plantation setting was beautiful and house tour was interesting. Really enjoyed city tour with Gary, he was knowledgeable and entertaining.

It was a wonderful trip. Oak alley is beautiful. Gary was an amazing tour guide, very highly recommend.

Excellent communication. Texts about pickup and identification of vehicle and drivers. This tour is in two parts. First pickup was for the ride to Oak Alley Plantation. Driver was on time. Dropped us off at plantation entrance and headed to the Oak Alley Plantation home for a 15 minute tour of the main house. Amy was knowledgeable and efficient. We then had about 30 minutes to walk the grounds on our own. Most of the time is driving to and from the Plantation. Our second tour was the New Orleans City Tour. We really enjoyed hearing about NO and our driver Gary K. was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour and definitely Gary.

Had a wonderful time our tour guide Jim was knowledgeable attentive very informative was an awesome trip highly recommended …ken our driver was great very smooth ride…

The Plantation Tour and City Tour were both fantastic experiences and well worth the money... The drop off and pick up times between tours had a very small window as we were dropped back off at our hotel and then needed to be picked up in a little under an hour which caused a very rushed lunch... I would highly recommend if there is a second option to have customers dropped at a central place for lunch and then picked up to continue on to a similar tour - may allow for less pick ups and more time for lunch between tours..

The City Tour guide, Gary! He was so informative and personable. Answered every question and seemed to really enjoy his job

This was a great tour! I didn’t realize it was actually 2 separate tours. We had KP for the plantation Tour (Oak Alley). He was at our hotel on time and got us out to the plantation in a timely manner, giving us commentary along the way. The plantation tour was great, but I would have loved a little more time in the “Big House” to look around. The property was beautiful, despite its origins. We were picked up at our hotel in the afternoon by Gary who did our City tour. What a great tour guide! He was a fount of information and took us to multiple areas of the city, including French Quarter, Garden District, a stop for Beignets, the areas damaged by Katrina, one of the many cemeteries, and lots more, all the while with great info and commentary. He answered every question and gave us great recommendations for dining and things to do. Super happy with the tours.

I didn’t realize it was two separate tours. I give the City Tour a 5 star rating. Gary was a fabulous tour guide and took us to a lot of great areas and was extremely knowledgeable. The plantation tour was too rushed. KP had a great personality and was very entertaining. My hotel pick up was very late, the plantation stop was rushed.

We did the city tour with Gary K. His knowledge of the history of New Orleans is very impressive. His communication for tour pickup is the best in the industry. He gives fantastic information about great places to eat and things to do in the city. You will be very pleased with this tour. I suggest doing it early in your stay to take advantage of all of Gary’s suggestions. We did the Oak Plantation tour with KP. He is very entertaining and gives you a lot of information about the hurricanes that devastated the New Orleans area. The folks at Oak Plantation do a great job of the half hour house tour. You have plenty of time to visit the entire plantation. In my opinion, this is a must see tour.

The Oak Alley Plantation was beautiful! Our tour guide, as well as the hosts at the plantation, were informative and gracious. Wonderful layout and the ride to the plantation was enjoyable as well. The city tour started out with a "bang"....our tour guide, Gary, stopped at a distillery so that we could enjoy some great drinks before our tour! We hit all of the areas of the city and were provided so much interesting history and information we found very interesting and important. Gary knows the answer to every question and we appreciated his generous offer to be dropped at wherever was preferred at the end of the tour....wonderful!

Our tour guides Gary and KP were AMAZING! They made us feel welcome and were very informative! I highly recommend this excursion!

Enjoyed every minute of the tour. Most memorable was the plantation tour of course. Even learned a few new words and or the origins.

Our tour guide was really knowledgeable on the city. Always smiling and giving great information about everything along the way. I loved the hotel pick-up drop off thing pretty convenient

Herman the driver was so knowledgeable a pleasure to spend 8 hrs with he explained everything we passed

The tour guide canceled our reservation the night before and we we're already in a hotel for the night and could only be in New Orleans that next day. He said he would give us a refund and it would be coming from you people which we have not gotten yet.

Learning some history of plantations was nice. The city tour was very informative as well as the tour guide. The tour could have planned a little better. Sitting a hotel lobby that we weren't staying at for 45 minutes was not ideal and boring.

The plantation was beautiful. The tour was great and very informative. We had a great time. We would definitely do it again.

The Plantation was amazing to see, the guide was wonderful that drove us up to the Plantation! Told stories on the way there and back. Got to try my first mint juniper. The City Tour was amazing also love seeing and hearing about cemeteries!

Our tour guide was the best! Patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. Took two 90 year olds for something different, they had some limitations so this tour worked well for them.

Very good tour and tour guide, Mr. Ray. The plantation tour was very informative and areas of interest were pointed out along the route to Oak Alley.

<p>The history provided by the guides was very informative. Really liked how the New Orleans guide incorporated various musical songs into his narrative.</p>

<p>Took the 9am tour and would say best time of day to go to Oak Alley. As it turned out we were the only couple in the SUV to the plantation. Lovely ride took about 1.15 hours to get there.<br/> We were returned to our hotel about 12:45 and got picked up in a Mimi bus at 1:20. The tour of the city was comprehensive. The only problem was that there were so many pick 70's, but that is s something that can't be helped.</p>
