Louisiana swamp tour with Cajun encounters - Absolutely fantastic trip - would highly recommend. Saw about 30 gators, raccoons and birds. The boat captain was brilliant.

Great! - Great, I had the wrong hotel and well the shuttle came to get us which is very nice. We changed vehicles several times because they were not going to the same visits as us. The tours were great and we had plenty of time on site to enjoy the 2 places visited namely Oak Alley and a swamp tour where we could even hold a baby alligator in our hands.

Great experience - Great experience, very interesting plantation visit, partly with a guide, partly self-guided. The transport and pick-up worked flawlessly and we had a lovely and informative driver. The alligator tour was fun, we learned so much and were able to hold a baby alligator. Definitely worth it!

You'll love the view - The bus picked us up on time at our motel. The driver was very happy to see us and friendly. The ride to the plantation was also enjoyable. Our driver, Donna was very informative about how our itinerary. The plantation was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and very informative. The guides really knew their stuff. We weren't able to go on the swamp tour due to lightning storms and wind in the area. But they were able to refund or reschedule (whichever we preferred). Tobe never seen anything like this plantation and once you see it you'll never forget the beautifulness of it and the history of it.

Nice excursion - Oak Alley, nice place but would have liked to know more about the people who lived there and about the slaves' lives, it was a bit thin. Not as big as it looks in the pictures. Swamp Tour, with the "big boat", a quiet and incredibly nice tour with an amazing guide, his name is Joe?, who knew lots about the nature and animals in the swamp, recommended
