Description
Immerse yourself in the rich history of the South with a half-day tour to the Oak Alley and Laura Plantations, departing from downtown New Orleans. This tour begins with a comfortable ride from the French Quarter, taking you along the scenic Great River Road.
Your first stop is the Laura Plantation, a historic sugar plantation where you can explore the main house and the preserved slave quarters, offering a glimpse into the complex past of this Creole estate. The tour lasts for 1.5 hours and provides insight into the lives of the women who ran the plantation.
Next, visit the Oak Alley Plantation, a stunning example of antebellum life that is instantly recognizable by its majestic canopy of 300-year-old oak trees. This 1.5-hour tour not only showcases the grandeur of the plantation but also its historical significance, with views stretching out towards the Mississippi River.
The tour concludes with a return trip to the meeting point in New Orleans, allowing you time to reflect on the day's experiences or continue exploring the vibrant city.
