Kin out driver was amazing!!! He was such added value for such a big day of driving. We wish there was more time allocated at the plantation. maybe extending the tour by at least an hour would accommodate this. The tour was fantastic just wish we had more time.

Want to start off by saying that our Greyline tour guide/ bus driver Alton was AMAZING!! My husband and I did the half day Oak Alley plantation tour and our Main House guide was really informative. Recommend having a mint julep drink while sitting on a bench under an oak tree while taking it all in. What a fantastic time!
