My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the only steam powered paddle wheel tour of the Mississippi. The lunch was very tasty, the live jazz music was very entertaining and the tour narration was very informative. I will say it does matter what side you sit on for the first part of the tour (where you get the most narration), as the majority of the sites will occur on the side of the boat that (BEFORE departure) faces the port, not the side that faces out to the water. It was an awesome experience that I think is a must if you are visiting NOLA.

We had a Good experience. I enjoyed the lunch cruise and the live Jazz was wonderful. I would recommend it for family, couples or even a solo trip on the water. A nice way to spend your afternoon in New Orleans.
