My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our tour guide Jim. He shared so much information and tips with us it was invaluable. My highlight of the trip would have definitely have been the swamp trip seeing the wildlife and beautiful scenery, while I also enjoyed hearing about the history of the plantation. If you are undecided, give it a go you won't be disappointed!!!

We went on a Plantation Tour/Swamp Tour combo adventure and had an incredible time, due in large part to our beyond excellent tour guide Nancy and our driver Joe. Nancy was so so knowledgable about the city, both past and present, and delivered the information with the perfect balance of humor and history. We very much appreciated her going above and beyond with the visual aids, music, generous gifts of cookies/bracelets/postcards. We would absolutely book again and will recommend to all of our friends. Thank you, Nancy and Joe!!

Our guide, Nancy was amazing! She offered interesting historical facts, funny jokes, music (review of cajun, zapateco and jazz delights), local attractions and eateries, and many other interesting facts. The boat tour was also amazing. My daughter counted 97 alligators, we got to touch a baby one and learned very interesting information about Bayou!

97 Alligators?! That is amazing. They love the sun and warm water, and secretly i think they love to be photographed. Thanks for joining us.
