Omg this was an awesome experience and will recommend to everyone. The transportation from our hotel to the planation, then the swamp tour, and then back to the hotel was seamless and informative. Mrs. D our driver was amazing and was very informative about everything, she was a true delight.

Our combo Whitney Plantation Tour + airboat swamp tour (from N’awlins Luxury Tours) was a worthwhile day outside the city. Very well organized, and our guide/driver Dionne(sp?) was very informative and considerate. The only minor complaint is that there’s no communication regarding hotel pickup- no one texted on where pickup was exactly, or what/who to look for.

The Whitney Plantation was excellent and really depicted the life on a plantation from a slaves point of view.
Lunch was great at the swamp boat tour and the air boat was a great thrill.
The only thing that let this tour down was the transport to each. The driver was great but the bus had AC that either froze you or cooked you, nothing in-between.

We toured the plantation first, which was the perfect thing to do. I don't like self guided tours, and I think having an actual guide would have been more beneficial. I found the audio portion informative, but a bit confusing to navigate. The plantation focuses on the slaves, which is a difficult but necessary thing. The airboat swamp ride was the best! Captain Cody was so respectful of the area and the creatures, and just made the whole thing a huge joy!! The whole day was well organized, and hats off the Dionne our driver for the drive by commentary, and getting us there safely.

The Whitney Plantation was a learning experience and hope to go back soon. The airboat ride was great experience. We fed the alligators marshmallows.

Great tour overall! Nice, clean tour bus, and we stayed fairly on time throughout the day. Were picked up from our hotel near Bourbon Street around 8:15 AM and dropped off around 4:30/5.
Would definitely recommend the Whitney Plantation tour (self-guided with earphones and prerecorded commentary) and the airboat swamp tour (gators!).
I do wish the communication was better - we loved the hotel pick-up and drop-off but didn't really receive any sort of confirmation or info on that process beforehand. Left kind of wondering but ended up working out.

The driver Dione made this an incredible experience and Whitney Plantation was awesome. Driver pointed out all types of landmarks along the way. We were also given some extra photo ops of Oak Alley Plantation. After our plantation we had a sit down lunch at a restaurant on the swamp grounds which was amazing, then we enjoyed a airboat swamp tour we seemed so many alligators. I will recommend N’awlins Luxury Tours to family and friends.
