Amy_B, Apr 2026

Awesome tour and wildlife!!

It was great! Super organized and the guide Hunter was excellent! He had a ton on knowledge and we got to see so many alligators, different birds and wildlife. Would definitely recommend this tour. The only thing is you are waiting around in the shop before and after the tour done awhile.

Great Learning Experience!

Great, informative leader, Dennis, was great! Learned so much about New Orleans past up to present. I would say to be open to learning as you are entertained. Maybe not for younger children as you need to read a screen and you need to pay attention to get the experience.

Relaxing!

Great time! We lucked out on weather. Little windy and the inside portion of the boat was chilly. But overall great. The description says 1 hour at the Battlefield but it was more like 40ish minutes. Due to having to leave by a certain time and walking distances, it cuts into your time walking around. But amazing guide! Very informative and animated. Shared a detailed story of the horrors of Hurricane Katrina. From the destruction to the following celebrations months later, truly interesting.

We’re Swamp Rats Now

This tour was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. It’s absolutely worth venturing out to the swamp to experience the beauty of nature and get up close and personal with some gators. Pick up was on time an as described, and our boat captain was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. Spotted lots of gators and other wildlife, and we loved zooming around the water on the airboat. We’re swamp rats now!

Frank_G, Mar 2026

Great Swamp Tour, plenty Alligators

We had a Great time with Captain Daren, very informative about the land & wildlife, the boat ride was smooth and we saw many gators, turtles and even a bald eagle in the nest. There was white egrets and great blue heron birds. Marsh & various species of trees. In general we had a wonderful time, the boat is covered so you are protected from any rain or sun exposure. Pick a morning time for a bit cooler experience, South LA is beautiful and the swamp tour gives you a glimpse into a Cajun’s fisherman’s environment and you’ll see some alligators on the tour.

New Orleans Dead of Night Ghosts and Cemetery Bus Tour

Jodi_C, Mar 2026

Lifelong dream fulfilled with an excellent tour guide

I have dreamed of visiting a cemetery in New Orleans since I was very young and I was so thrilled to be able to book a haunted history tour on Friday the 13th! The tour was incredible and I think a lot of that has to do with our excellent tour guide, Christian (like the religion). Christian was so knowledgeable about the city and its history and it was obvious he loves what he does and is very good at it. He provided a vast history and information about the different locations we attended while also sprinkling in some great humor along the way. This tour was absolutely the highlight of the trip for us and I would do it again in a heartbeat. 10/10 recommend, especially if you can get Christian!

Important and so infomational.

This was an amazing tour! Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and I liked that we got to go at our own pace once we were at the plantation. The content was so important, I definitely wanted time to sit with it and reflect. I had plenty of time to do the tour. A must do if you are in New Orleans!
