We enjoyed a relaxing, interesting, ride along the Mississippi River. The Cajun meal was very satisfying, and was accompanied by a beverage and dessert. The live music was entertaining and set the ambiance for the trip.

Being I grew up in MN near enough to Itasca State Park, it was most awesome to be near the opposite end of the Mississippi River. The narration of the cruise was really informative and the music was great!

So you really know this crazy river now. The narration and music are valuable assets we believe, thank you for the confirmation.

Great trip along the river with the guy telling us all the points of intrest, we didnā€™t eat and just did the tour but overall was impressed, the only thing that I was a little disappointed with was before hand I thought we had booked to travel onnatchez but when we got there the boat is called city of New Orleans and is a converted casino from I think the 90s so not as old as we thought. But yeah definitely worth a visit and the views are great

The NATCHEZ is undergoing restoration and we look forward to having her back at the dock soon.
