History and wildlife all in one tour! - While visiting New Orleans this is an informative and rare experience to learn more about the history of this area. The swamp tour was fun and was delighted to see several owls, coyotes, cranes and alligators. We also spotted an Ameican Bald Eagle on the way to the tour itself.

Fabulous Family Fun - The swamp is a stunning place filled with beautiful creatures with just a slight sense of danger. The boat ride was not only fast and loud, it was a blast! Our guide, Kenny, was so informative and so much fun! Oak Alley was breathtaking, and the story behind plantation life was heartbreaking.

Full day of fun - Such a fun day. Our driver got us out to the plantation quickly & was so welcoming. The house tour was good _& we enjoyed the gift shop. The swamp tour was great & we were thrilled to see so many gators so late in the season. Our guide was Ernie & he was great. Beautiful weather to be outside.
