NEW ORLEANS CITY & OAK ALLEY PLANTATION TOUR

Red Line

Feel the gentle breeze of Southern hospitality on a tour that takes you back to the glory of the Old South!

Experience a bygone era in one of the South's most beautiful settings-Oak Alley Plantation, built in 1839.

Marvel at the unbelievable quarter-mile long alley of 28 magnificent Oak trees, each over 250 years old.

Perhaps the most photographed plantation ever, 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".

Your guided tour will reveal the fascinating stories of the home and its history.

View the Majestic Cypress Trees in Louisiana's swamps bordering the Mississippi River.

Your buffet lunch is included.

Note: Due to the historic nature of the plantation, access to the second floor is by stairs only. No photography is allowed inside the plantation home.

Then Travel Through Three Centuries of history, legends and romance as you encounter "The City That Care Forgot!"

Absorb the sights & sounds of the world famous French Quarter and historic Jackson Square, home of the Cabildo and Presbytere Museums.

Visit one of our historic cemeteries, referred to as "Cities of the Dead," and learn about this unique above ground burial system.

Marvel at stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St. John, the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates, as we make our way to the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. View the longest bridge over water in the world, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.

Follow the path of the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, the oldest continuously operating passenger railway system in the world (until service was disrupted by Hurricane Katrina).

See the homes of former Kings & Queens of Mardi Gras, stately mansions and the world-famous, exclusive Garden District.

View Tulane and Loyola Universities across from Audubon Park, home to one of the top five zoos in the nation, The Audubon Zoo.
