The highlight of my time in New Orleans. - We have just returned from our Oak Alley and swamp tour and I had to come on and rave about it straight away. Kate our tour guide was so warm and friendly and her knowledge of all things NOLA made it the most interesting trip we have ever done. Oak Alley Plantation is so worth visiting. It respectfully shows you where enslaved people lived and the contrast between their lives and the lives of the plantation owners. Cajun Pride Swamp Tour was the highlight of my time here in NOLA. Captain Danny made us feel very safe while explaining the dangers of being on the bayou with wild Alligators. He was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. He has such passion and respect for the wildlife and the bayou which shows in how he delivers the tour. We saw lots of alligators, raccoons, wild boar and so much more. I would do the tour all over again.

Informative and fun - The perfect mix of historical and educational. The morning was reflective and insightful at Oak Alley. The afternoon was a delight. Enjoy a beer on the bayou with the alligators!

Louisiana history by my own eyes - I liked the tour. Pleasant bus ride out of town. Beautiful plantation with mature oak trees alley. The tour around the house and the slavers shacks gave me a good impression of the way life was back then. See it with own eyes and not in the movies is very memorable. The boat ride was excellent. Most of all I liked our guide. Mitch. The crash course of the Louisiana history she gave us will stay in my memory. Our driver Keisha is very professional and nice. Delivered us safely and timely back to NO.
