Great experience - The airboat ride cold but sooo worth it. Only saw two gators but we were not expecting to see any due to the temperature. Our guide was nice and answered all our questions. The plantation was really neat. The inside of the house was stunning and the oak trees were amazing!

Give Gary the Driver a Raise - Had Gary as our driver. He was AMAZING!! He was a local and hearing things from his POV was great. He made the long drive to oak alley go by quickly. Great combo of plantation and swamp tour. Got us back pretty quickly. Would recommend to book!

Great day out - awesome staff - Really well organised. You need to not waste time at the plantation so you can see everything. We had read the reviews that told us that so we did see everything we wanted. The tour guides on both the plantation and swamp tour were excellent. It was freezing the day we went and the lovely lady at the swamp boat tours insisted we would need blankets- which we did. Very grateful to her! Also Gary our bus driver who taught us so much about New Orleans. We would recommend as a great day out and a good opportunity to see a lot on one tour!

Swamp tour and plantation - Great way to spend a day. We had Ernie as our large airboat guide on the swamp tour. It was a very fun experience and he took the time to point out alligators and educated us on the species. He was fantastic. The plantation tour was good. Wish we had a little more time to see all the grounds and exhibits. We rushed a little and there was not a lot of time for any lunch.

Plantation house was... - Plantation house was smaller than anticipated. Tour guide was knowledgeable. Climbing stairs required and no place to sit down. Benches on balcony would help for older adults. Slave quarters were done well. Airboat was great fun and we saw several alligators and a couple of coyotes. Tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable about the a alligator life.

Plantation and airboat - Although the tour wasn't the intimate 16-person experience advertised, our group of 30 still had a fantastic time exploring the plantation and big house. Our knowledgeable tour guide, Amy, brought the history to life. The airboat ride was exhilarating - be prepared to get a little wet! With 16 people in our boat, we enjoyed the captain's expertise and the breathtaking swamp scenery. Overall, a great experience despite the larger group size.
