The Airboat Ride was fantastic - out guide was fun and informative. Highly recommend and in fact we did to friends. The Plantation tour part was okay but not great. Our driver, Ginny, was a wealth of knowledge but she spoke so fast and rehearsed that several folks lost interest in listening.

Our tour guide Dylan was excellent, informative about the history of New Orleans and humorous as he took our tour group from place to place. First up was the Swamp tour; we upgraded to the airboat option which was fast but a lot of fun. Interesting crocodile guide! Lunch was better than expected; gumbo, jambalaya, red beans on rice were all offered (and eaten!!) Plantations were interesting; of the two we visited, the Laura plantation was definitely more interesting - our tour guide Steven obviously loved what he does, was well informed and interesting. The Oak Valley plantation on the other hand was pretty, but the tour here was laboured; our tour guide, dressed in period costume, was more interested in sipping her drink than in delving into history. Overall though, the tour was really well put together and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Truly enjoyed the entire trip. The two planation tours were very interesting the guides were very informative and the food was good. The swamp tour was okay, a little disappointing thought we would see more. The alligators were so small and not much else to see. Diane did an excellent job, she made a real effort to keep us well informed answer our questions and make sure we had a good time. Thank you I would recommend the tour.

Okay, we just happened to pick the coldest April day on record in New Orleans, but this tour was extremely informative, interesting and conducted with great insight and care by Dylan our tour guide (a native who returned to New Orleans after Katrina). The Laura plantation is great - and fascinating. Oak Alley is impressive, but a little more scripted and family-history oriented - much more forgettable in the end. Lunch was filling and authentic! The Swamp tour was great - again informative with Captain Torres (who has never left Louisiana) pointing out fascinating areas along the way, as well as making sure we knew which type of duck was best for eatin'. Because of the weather, alligators were a little shy, nut I want to immediately go back in summer. A great day all up.

Wow, what a beautiful day and a lot of fun! REALLY enjoyed this day out on the water, cruising through the bayou. Scenery was lush and alive. Alligators came right up to the craft and tried to join in the fun...Like the saying goes, "if the gators are snapp'n, you know something's happen'n!! Birds were plentiful...but I'll have to come back if I want to see a Nutria in the wild!
Deshtrahan was a beautiful house and a nice counterpoint to the cruise. Appreciated that there were more out-buildings to explore on this property than on some others. It is truly a gift that these homes have been preserved.

This was well worth the money! Our tour driver, Joseph, grew up in New Orleans and provided many interesting historical facts of the areas. The high speed airboat tour was a blast! Gary the speedboat driver/operator was a hoot and made the trip highly memorable! Gators galore and lots of swamp! The mansion tours provided were excellent, providing jaw dropping views of mighty oak trees lining up to the Oak Alley Mansion and the scenic splendor of Laura plantation.

Joseph, the driver, made this tour special. Joseph grew up in the area and lived through Katrina. Joseph's knowledge of the area and the history made this a memorable experience. Seeing the houses still shuttered down due to Katrina brings this tragedy to life.

The plantation tours were excellent as not only did we learn a lot, which was the purpose for us going on it, but it was entertaining as well. As for the swamp tour, it exceeded our expectations, Roland, our guide was fantastic. He has the knowledge, the character and is a down right awesome guy!!!!

This tour was so well worth the trip. My husband and I loved this tour. Our guide was great and what we saw and learned was truly amazing. I would do this tour again. And they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel.

We had a great time, and our tour guide was entertaining, educational, and so funny! We saw a lot of gators and turtles, and got to hold a baby alligator toward the end of the ride. We have no regrets about booking this tour, and recommend it to anyone who wants a little fun in the swamp.
