Oak Alley Tour - Our bus tour guide was very informative about the history of New Orleans and the surrounding area. He was thoughtful and courteous towards his passengers. He interacted well with his guests and made sure everyone was comfortable. The tour at Oak Alley was informative and did not take long to do. It is a wonderful place to take pictures under the oaks.

lovely tour - The plantation was lovely to visit the grounds and see the inside of the home. Our tour driver Kin was the best. He was so knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and all of the other plantations that we didn’t visit. He was actually better than the tour itself. The only comment I would make about the tour is that the inside tour is extremely short it’s 30 minutes, but there’s not a lot of visual in there to observe. The grounds, however, are beautiful that you explore on your own.

You’ll love it. - This was my 3rd time back to NOLA, and this was one of the best things I’ve ever had on my itinerary! Our guide was VERY nice, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The plantation was beautiful, and I liked how we had some downtime to look at gift shop, eat, and have a drink.

The tour was well... - The tour was well organized, and Kin communicated with us from start to finish. He explained all the essentials about NOLA, and the plantations history. Highly recommended!

Kindrell is the best! - I want to start off by saying Kindrell is amazing. I loved our ride with him from start to finish. I appreciated that he called the night before to give all the details and make our traveling as seamless as possible. In addition i love that he gave us a mini tour the whole drive down to the plantation. he is so knowledgable and charismatic so it made the hour and a half drive fly by. he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and hydrated too. cannot recommend Kindrell and his transportation enough. with that said, i do encourage you to research each plantation and from there determine which type of tour you want. we didn't get anything out of oak alley. it is beautiful, however its tour was only 1/2 an hour and talked largely of the families who lived in the big house, and not much else. personally, i would not recommend oak alley tour. regardless of which tour you decide to do, you absolutely should do it riding in luxury with Kindrell!

Plantation visit with K’s transportation - K’s luxury transportation is the way to go.My wife and I have visited the plantations twice and this most recent experience with Kindrell Falk from K’s was totally different from our previous visit. Door to door service in comfort and super entertaining and educational throughout the trip. Very reasonable and so much more informative than the big tour companies. You wont regret it.

Oak Alley in August - Kindrell and his business is family oriented, prompt, organized, and comfortable. He and his wife responded to all questions and the van was clean and AC was great. He was very knowledgeable about plantation row and the area on the way to and from. I highly recommend!

Oak Alley Tour - This tour had multiple stops for other tours which extended our time by 2+ hours. There were 2 short tours at Oak Alley, the main house and the slave quarters. We waiting over 20 minutes for the slave quarter tour and after no one showed up to say anything a guest walked back to the house and found out there was only one tour guide and he went home sick. The driver was great and informative about the history of New Orleans. Even though the tour is advertised as a 9 am pickup and 4/12 hours this is incorrect. We were advised to be ready for pick up a 815 AM and returned back to our hotel around 245. That’s 61/2 hours for a 30 minute tour with a 70-80 minute round trip drive. Skip oak alley, go to the Whitney Plantation instead which we were told is much longer, informative and more in depth on slavery. Also check the stops of your tour so you are not traveling and waiting for other tours going on the same bus/van. .

It's not Spanish experience - I hired the Spanish experience and the driver spoke only English. Luckily they gave audio guides in Spanish on the plantation
