Kristi was a wonderful...

Kristi was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgable and patient with us all. With the slightly rainy weather, she was very upbeat. She even modified the tour by getting our pralines to have at the restaurant after the gumbo instead of making us stand in the rain.

Amazing Tour !

Booked this excursion last minute and so glad we did ! There is so much information packed into 1 3 hour tour it was amazing !

What a way to ride the bayou!

Was a great experience. Our tour guide ( I forgot his name) was great. Full of wonderful information about the bayou and life there. He was so informative about the problems they are facing and the urgency in maintaining the swamp before the Gulf of Mexico might engulf it. Highly recommend!

Capt Jay is the best. We...

Capt Jay is the best. We came across alligators at 3 different spots. We knew it was a 50/50 chance, but he was able to get us really close to them and he even fed them and kissed them. It was amazing to see. Highly recommend going out with Capt Jay. He was knowledgeable and extremely funny. Enjoyed our tour very much.

Fabulous Tour

This tour was excellent! It was well organized, detailed yet concise, and comfortable to take part in. Cynthia, our guide, provided a wealth of information that highlighted the areas of interest that were included. We’ve been regular visitors to New Orleans for over forty years and had already done numerous tours of the city. This one was better than any of the others! Having a guide in addition to a driver (Carl, who was excellent as well) made it possible for each to remain focused on their specializations. Cynthia’s knowledge of the city allowed her delivery to be natural and her voice quality and diction made her easy to understand….even for ol’ codgers like us whose hearing has waned. I highly recommend this tour!

Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Lucy_T, Oct 2026

Not one to miss if you’re visiting New Orleans!

An excellent day with Kate as our tour guide and Cindy as our driver. Our boat captain Dustin was also wonderful. It was a really informative trip and there was plenty of time for wandering and exploring both the plantation and Cajun Pride. In the plantation, we got to see the beautiful gardens, planter’s house and slave houses with guides who talked us through life on the plantation. On the river cruise, we saw loads of alligators (all different sizes/ages), raccoons, turtles and wild boars. Our captain told stories and jokes, then surprised us at the end with a tiny, baby alligator to hold! A truly brilliant experience.

Great Spiritual Journey

We took the late tour and it was awesome. After dark it was cool to see the cemetary and hear the ghost stories. If you’re looking for a spooky experience then this is the one for you. Our tour guide was wonderful. We didn’t experience any paranormal on this tour but I think that’s a good thing. Keep the peace with the spirits.
