Swamp boat okay, house tours excellent. Especially Laura.
It wasn't the best time of year for a swamp tour. It was quite cold (bring a winter coat if you book this trip in December/January) and the alligators were hibernating. Still, we had a fun time. The plantations were very interesting and the guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. The lunch at Oak Alley was much better than I expected. Everything ran on time and gave us just the right amount of time to explore each site. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has not seen the plantations or experienced a swamp.
Fantastic Day! Our tour guide, Kat, added fun to the day, as well as lots of extra information. It was wonderful having someone so passionate about the history of the area lead us through the day. The swamp boat guide was phenomenal, as were the guides in each of the two plantations. The only downside to the day was not seeing any alligators, but that was due to the time of year. I highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.
