Loved it!! - Our experience was FANTASTIC! Rocky was our tour guide on the airboat ride and he went above and beyond to make it an amazing experience! It was also so nice to be picked up at our hotel and not have to worry about getting to the locations ourselves. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with them!

Interesting plantation; Extreme thrill through the swampland, with lots if alligators - Excellent tour. The Oak Alley plantation was worth the visit, it provided us with some insight how people lived in that sad era, both rich and slaves, also, we could see how the slaves lived, and were treated. Our tour guide/driver (Dana?) was funny and knowledgeable. The small group swamp tour was absolutely amazing!!! We saw the beautiful swampland, with many alligators. Some were petted by the tour guide/driver who also shared great information about the swamp and alligators . He also let us hold a baby alligator! But the other big part for me was the high speed airboat ride through the swamp, bush, obstacles, in an extremely thrilling way, with his excellent driving skills to get very close to the land/bushes, corners.. it was breathtaking, superb experience!

Gary is the best! - The swamp and the plantation were both incredible experiences. Especially the swamp! Bobby was a great captain and explained everything perfectly. The highlight of this trip for us was our driver to the plantation. Gary is hilarious. He’s not a tour guide but he might as well become one! This dude was knowledgeable, funny, super nice and it was all around fun on that bus. Next time we come back, I’m requesting Gary 1000%. Thank you for making our NOLA trip memorable with great humor and information. We had no idea that nutria rats were a big problem and they had a 5$ bounty for each tail. Crazy good info.

Plantation and airboat tours! - We had a great time on both tours. Jackie, our Plantation guide was a wealth of information. Captain Matt on the airboat was funny and gave us a great tour of the swamp. We saw gators of all sizes and got to hold a baby alligator. I would definitely recommend both tours!
