The Bayou - Captain Ernie was amazing! He gave us the history of the Bayou and was great at what he does. We really enjoyed and was in awe of the whole tour

Highly Recommended!!! - Amazing all around! Our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable! My mom wasn't interested in seeing gators when we got to New Orleans, but she ended up loving the tour. Highly recommend!

A Must See! - Wow! Just absolutely incredible. We came to NOLA to celebrate my 30th birthday and this is definitely one of the best tours we’ve ever done. Our guide was so educational, hilarious, and so fun! We saw soooooo many gators and even raccoons! And who would’ve thought they like marshmallows? So fun!! Just AMAZING!!!

Good tour - Good value tour with a very knowledgeable local. Entertaining and educational. Well worth the visit. If you want more speed - go for the air boat from the same company. But the airboat is much louder and you wouldn’t be able to hear as much commentary - so really it just depends what you want from the experience

Never again ! - Only thing I can remember from my experience is that , it was very boring and the driver didn’t know anything. He shared some corny inappropriate jokes. He seemed to not know anything about the tour.
