Viator Traveler's Reviews
We did the afternoon tour with no lunch, but as this is Louisiana, there was plenty of booze available! Shay and Saundra were working the bar upstairs and they were so friendly and funny. They gave great service and recommendations for restaurants and bars to try while in town. Thank you ladies, you rock!
This was an absolute blast! More fun that we were expecting! It was hot and humid, so the breeze on the boat was fabulous! The food was really good, and the cajun marys were tasty too! We enjoyed the outside decks while the first group had lunch, then they went out on the decks and we were sat in the dining room. While on the decks, the captain shared all kinds of cool facts, so he was a great tour guide. The food was a buffet of red beans and rice, jambalaya, cajun fish, andouille sausage, grilled chicken and bread. There was also a dessert that I didnt get to try, but everything was great, and you could go back for seconds if you wanted. We were sat really close to the jazz band, which was also close to the bar, so we had the best table in the house! We were in NOLA for 4 days, and this was definitely a highlight of our trip! Kids as well as adults would enjoy this adventure...we were 7 women on a girls trip and we loved it!
We spent the afternoon of our July 4 on this boat. After an extremely hot muggy day the cool breeze on the river was refreshing. The drinks and staff were even better. It was a little hard to hear the conductor tell us about different things along the river unless you were closer to the inside of the boat. This was a nice tour to end our day with. We had spent the entire morning walking and it was very relaxing.
