Oak Valley Virginia Oaks - I enjoyed the tour because it part self led and then a guided tour through the big house added additional information. I was able to go and see the things that interested me without being rushed or pressured. Went for the trees and they did not disappoint!

Oak Valley Plantation Tour - Oak Valley plantation was beautiful, scenic, and so informative for my friends and I. Our tour guide Kaylee was social, funny, and fantastic at educating us. We had a great experience 😊

Laura Plantation - Driver was a little bit of a speed demon when it came to driving. Would take turns very sharply and quickly. The Laura Plantation was beautiful.

Laura Plantation - Great Guide - We are senior citizens with mild mobility issues. Our guided tour of the Laura Plantation was excellent. In fact, this tour is well suited to visitors of all ages. (But, stairs along the tour make it impractical for people needing wheel chairs or scooters). The tour was led by a very knowledgeable guide, Jacqueline. It included the house, slave quarters, and grounds. Lots of shade and places to sit when the guide is explaining a highlight. We visited in May and the weather was pleasant. In the hotter months, though, I suggest you bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. The visitor area is pristine and welcoming. The gift shop sells snacks but there is no cafe so eat before your visit. On the other hand, the bus ride to the plantation was brutal. Despite being a late model, the 20-seat mini bus magnified every road irregularly. The terms ‘kidney jarring’ and ‘teeth rattling’ fit this bus ride. Plus, there is little to no knee room. Overall, this is a worthwhile tour.

Oak Valley - This was beautiful! The bus we took was also super comfy! I would have loved a little more time investigating outside considering there is a lot to see and read, but overall great tour! If you do have a car and are willing to drive yourself, you could always do that and buy a tour ticket at the location.
