We have our own car so we will be driving to Oak Alley to purchase tickets. Once we have toured the Plantation are we able to buy tickets for the Swamp tour at the same ticket booth?

I did not want to pay online through a 3rd party either (extra charge online). I watched schedule to ensure there were plenty or time slots available in the days ahead and purchased the tickets in person the day of. It works out perfectly, but honestly the ticket prices were a little more in person so it only saved our family of 5 about $5 versus if I would have bought them online. So, either online or in person should work.
