Our New Orleans swamp...
Our New Orleans swamp tour was terrific. Captain Denis was super funny and gave us some fabulous information. My twelve year old daughter and eight year old son truly enjoyed it. I felt very safe even though we were very close to the alligators and raccoons.it is a MUST do in LA!

Best experience
We were in NOLA for a work-related conference and arrived a day early. We had so much fun with this experience…. More than we thought it may be.
Chef Alex was phenomenal! He was engaging with the history of NOLA and the origin of the foods. And, the best part was eating everything he prepared!
I love that I am heading home with recipes and will definitely be cooking these at home.

New Orleans food and drinks
Nate was fantastic from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept us engaged throughout, and shared some fascinating history about New Orleans. We thoroughly enjoyed all the food and drinks we were given, and the whole experience was both informative and enjoyable. Nate made sure we were well fed and watered, and his enthusiasm really brought the tour to life. Definitely a must-do experience when visiting NOLA.

We absolutely LOVED this...
We absolutely LOVED this experience! Our guide was incredible, she was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor too. We learnt so much. I loved how the history was presented to us, starting with the origins of alcohol and then moving more local -- it was great to get a slightly different historical perspective from alcohol.

A great tour by an excellent tour guide.
Kin was an excellent tour guide. Not only did he give us a lot of information about the plantation, he also provided us with a lot of information about other local attractions and restaurants. The plantation itself was amazing. The facility and grounds were very well maintained. We can't recommend this tour enough.

Great tour by our tour...
Great tour by our tour guide Kristi she did a wonderful job of walking us through town and explaining the history of New Orleans. She made the trip enjoyable and personal and we really felt well about what we had learned. Highly recommend her for everyone.!

Informative and fun tour
Paul was wonderful to work with. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating throughout the experience. One of the biggest perks was being able to keep our luggage with us after the cruise, which saved us so much hassle.
He picked us up right at the port and dropped us off at the airport after the tour, making everything seamless and stress free. We learned so much along the way and were able to take in beautiful architecture throughout the city, even in the cemetery.
I would highly recommend booking this at the beginning of your visit. It really helps you get your bearings and appreciate everything you’re seeing even more. It will give you an idea of where you want to spend your time in New Orleans. There is so much to do from the French quarters, to the river.

A very informative and interesting tour!
Oz was our guide and offered a wonderful introduction to the City of New Orleans. He not only knows the City extremely well but his explanation of how the City developed over time was an interesting and intriguing history lesson. I would definitely recommend using Oz and his company for your next tour of New Orleans!

Laura and Whitney Plantation Tour
Spending the day touring Laura and Whitney Plantation just outside of New Orleans was both beautiful and deeply moving. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—warm sunshine and a gentle breeze.
Both plantations offer rich, detailed insight into Louisiana’s history, but what stood out most was how thoughtfully the stories were told. Walking through the grounds, listening to the guides, and seeing the preserved structures made the past feel very real. The Whitney Plantation in particular does an incredible job of centering the lives and voices of the enslaved people who lived there, which adds a powerful and necessary perspective.
Overall it was a wonderful experience filled with history and knowledge that stays with you long after you leave.

Local Favorites
We had SO MUCH fun on our food tour with EJ. He's incredibly knowledgeable and shared great information with us while still allowing us space to enjoy ourselves. This tour was an incredible value for the money, because the portion sizes are generous but leave just enough room for you to make it through the whole tour without being uncomfortably full. We visited local favorites that we will absolutely return to and saw a new side of New Orleans. The small group size makes this a perfect outing for friends and family.

Women of New Orleans
Learned a lot about powerful, spiritual women who shaped New Orleans. Where they lived, their achievements, their impact on communities, and how their legacy continues to influence New Orleans today. We went in January when it was a little cold, but the weather was nice.

Excellent tour
This was a wonderful tour. Andre was an excellent guide and did an outstanding job of keeping track of all 27 people on the tour and taking us to see some great bands. We really enjoyed seeing him perform onstage with some of the bands too. The company needs to take the glitter bar off the tour description though, if they aren't going to be able to take people there.
