All Louisiana Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

This was such an amazing, adrenaline rush, exciting, and safe experience!! Tiffany and Eerie was our guides and helped us and made sure everyone was safe and secure along the way!!! This was a great Birthday to experience this!!! 10/10 Highly recommend!!

Our swamp tour was fantastic. Captain Ernie was very informative and friendly. Doing the small boat tour was the best way to go for a personalized experience. My daughter and I both were amazed by how many alligators and wildlife in general we saw during the tour.

Such a great adventure... We booked the tour, which had transportation included, and our shuttle driver was very prompt and courteous. Once we arrived to the location, we were able to use the restroom and browse the gift shop before leaving. Ernie was our guide and he was tons of fun! As a native of the bayou, he's a living historian, very knowledgeable of any and everything swamp related. He takes pride in what he does and it's evident that he enjoys his tours. Despite the rainy weather, he battled the elements and made the best of it. He knew exactly where to go to find his gator friends that were awaiting their daily marshmallow fill. They felt the vibrations of his boat and knew he was coming. It was pretty cool. The tour was nice and lengthy, and very relaxing. If I were a local, I'd probably do this tour monthly. That's how much I enjoyed it. If you're contemplating, do it! You won't regret it. The only thing that could've made it better was getting to hold a baby alligator, which we weren't able to do. Hopefully, next time!

Rickey and Ben are very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Rickey had much interesting information during our bus rides to and from and Ben was very professional and expresses in his conversations that he loves the Bayou and his job. Office tracked us down to change or tour time which was much appreciated.

VIP Experience was truly magical and amazing!!!! Marlon looked after us from arrival to departure and made everything so extra special for us. Welcome drinks - fab seats for the Jazz Band and delicious food plus really lovely wine with dinner. VIP the whole evening and spoilt rotten!!! All drinks included and very generous indeed. Such a special trip to be on the Steamboat on the Mississippi River - amazing and highly recommend this!!!

This was an awesome experience. The entire crew was very friendly and helpful. Charles Chestnut was amazing as our narrator/story teller of the history of New Orleans. He is very knowledgeable and hilarious. If you have to choose between the Natchez or the Queen Creole, choose the Queen Creole. It was a lot more fun.

Great Tour with professional pickup right at my hotel front and drop off. Lorraine was a very enthusiastic driver to the bayou and she gave us local insights along the way. She really seems to care about her job and the people she meets. This company has the option for small airboat tours of only 9 people on a boat and I highly recommend using the small boat option. It may be slightly more expensive, but it’s more intimate and tailored to the group you’re with plus you get to maneuver into smaller areas versus the larger boats in overall it’s just more bespoke can’t say enough about Captain Ernie not only was he very knowledgeable about the Bayou. He gave us local insights that only somebody with 10 generations on the swamp could give you in some real world facts about what’s happening to the destruction of the wetland that really make you think over the hour and a half. I was on the swamp. I saw at least two dozen gators on top of local birds and all sorts of other wildlife. The best part of the whole trip was going to the original Cypress Bayou, and seeing the stark difference between what it was and what it has become overall I felt like this was a worthwhile morning for my trip to New Orleans with equal parts, excitement learnings, and overall local flare. I would recommend this to anybody, especially a solar traveler like myself who wants to attack on something interesting to a work trip.

We really enjoyed this class. This is a full hands on class where you cook all the food, although it is pre-portioned and organised for you. This contrasts with the demonstration class which I have done before, where you watch the chef cook. We had Chef Lynne as our instructor who was wonderful. She explained everything clearly and constantly helped all the class members. Our menu was chicken & sausage gumbo, shrimp & grits, and bananas foster crepes. This included making a roux for the gumbo and flambé for the banana foster which was fun! I recommend this class and would do it again (worth a different menu) the next time I’m in NOLA.
