Joann and Stacy were the best. Joann provided us an entertaining bus ride full of interesting facts and stories about the history of New Orleans, made the 1 hr commute go by fast. Stacy was so sweet and got us all there safely. Captain Tom in the swamp tour was hilarious and really gave us a great experience on his boat. Overall a really great tour, highly recommend.

Our tour guide was amazing. He fed the alligators small pieces of chicken on a pole. He made they come up at least 1 and a half feet out of water. He had many stories. Best swamp tour ever.

The guide was absolutely fantastic. She made us feel so welcome and we had a GREAT time! Easily the best hostess experience I’ve had. The food was very good as well.

Plantation review. The plantation part of the tour was educational
Swamp tour: was the highlight for me. Very interactive
Cons: Price: I have a 13 yr old and through viaiator her cost was $109 but if I would have went through the swamp tour directly she would have been free same for the plantation the price their was an adult price and a youth price
Lastly the hotel asked us why did we go with this company and have to drive to them (parking 50-60) when there are other companies that pick up from our hotel. Overall I’m giving a 3 based off of cost

So exciting! At one time we were surrounded by a dozen alligators! Our guide had two turtles and two crawfish for us to look at plus we held a baby alligator, just too cool! A must do!

This was a two part experience and both were excellent. First we got to go to Oak Alley Plantation, which looked like it was plucked right from the celluloid of Gone with the Wind. Right down to the 300 year old live oak trees. Our guide through the house, Cayenne, was absolutely great. After that, we drove a bit to the swam boat part of the experience. We journeyed down various waterways with Captain Tom, who knows those waters and the wildlife there like the back of his hand. We saw turtles, raccoons, wild pigs, and of course alligators. Everything from little pee-wee gators to the over 10 footer that Captain Tom called, "The Linebacker". Fun Fact: gators like marshmallows. (That was how they were drawn closer to the boat). Definitely a fun experience.
