Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Downtown New Orleans Pickup
Teresa_C, Sep 2026
Alligators galore!
It was a wonderful experience. Our guide knew his way on the water/swamp and even took us to a couple of specific areas where he knew alligators would be. I loved seeing nature at its finest, and the swamp boat ride was exhilarating.

We had Gary as our guide...
We had Gary as our guide through the city. Pick up and drop off was seamless. Gary was a wealth of knowledge not only about the tour but also had great recommendations for food and other activities. Would definitely recommend this to anyone new to Mew Orleans. Doing this on day one of our trip really gave us good insight into the history of the city as well as other things we wanted to see/do throughout the week.

Trena_C, Sep 2026
Awesome Food Tour...
Susan was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable, and very well known at each location. She also gave great advice regarding a couple of choice resturants that we were interested in outside of the tour. I highly recommend this tour specifically if you're traveling to New Orleans for the first time & you should do it on the first day i do so, you know what food experiences you would like to try.

VIP Jazz Dinner Cruise with Private Tour and Open Bar Option
Ian_G, Sep 2026
Wow! What an experience!
It's very hard to put into words how amazing this experience was. From the history, to the staff, the jazz band, the hospitality, I could go on! Captain Robbie, what an amazing man, 51 years service and so glad I got to meet him, not only that a private tour from engine room, to stern, to bow with so much knowledge! And not to forget, my man Marlon! Without him there is no VIP! This guy knows how to host! From leading us around the boat, to seating area, to keeping us updated. And just when you think I need a drink, he just shows up! Like magic! He really takes that extra mile and makes the whole evening special. To all the staff behind the scenes, I thank you aswell. Such a magical evening, me and my wife enjoyed every minute

Great Experience!
Our travel guide Ernie was amazing. Having a guide with a lifetime of experience in this Bayou area was beautiful. Yes, we saw alligators, as he know’s the area, and even knows them by name, but he has an understanding and knowledge of this area like no other. My wife and the other couple we traveled with enjoyed this experience and it exceeded our expectations. Thanks Ernie for being a wonderful guide - highly recommend!
