Nice guide in NOLA - Kindrell is an excellent guide! He keeps us entertained with large knowledge of history about the places we are visiting, mixed with some nice humor. We hope to visit New Orleans, soon and, for sure, to have him guiding us.

Kindrell is great! - Kindrell did an excellent job of sharing information with us that made our experience even better. He answered our questions and made great suggestions for restaurants. I highly recommend taking a tour with Kindrell and K's Luxury Transportation Tours. The bus was extremely clean and we had an enjoyable trip.

We had a great time! Kin... - We had a great time! Kin took extra steps to make sure we enjoyed our tour--starting with picking us up at our hotel; making sure we knew where restrooms were located; where to meet; where to eat. The journey to the plantations was filled with information about each plantation we passed. He pointed out wildlife along the way as well as historic sites. He also gave "heads up" when we were approaching a photo op. Finally, the ride was comfortable, and he supplied us all with bottled water. Don't miss this adventure!

Great overview of New Orleans out of the city! - This was a wonderful way to see the surrounding countryside, along with learning about plantation life, and seeing the wildness of the swamp. Kin was outstanding- since it was just the three of us in a very comfortable van, it was more like traveling, talking and asking questions with a friend. Kin was so knowledgeable about the area, and we learned so much more than we would have with a canned speech on a bus.
The plantation was interesting and beautiful. Unfortunately it was too cold for any alligators to be out. But we did see wild pigs and raccoons. Overall, an excellent trip.

Wonderful, special tour - My partner and I had a wonderful time on the tour. The tour is well structured, has a good amount of time allocated, and does not feel rushed or too long. The plantation itself is really interesting and quite an emotional place to visit given the history. However, the best part of the tour was Kindrell. He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided so many facts along the trip, and is very clearly passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm, infectious personality, and desire to give guests a wonderful experience clearly shine through. He truly is the definition of going above-and-beyond. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and Kindrell - it is a must-do for anyone visiting New Orleans!

Oak Alley and swamp pontoon - Kindrell was very informative and courteous. He brought us to the two tour areas (Oak Alley and swamp pontoon). We learned more from him than from the guide at Oak Alley. He had cool waters for us on a very hot day, which was a nice touch.
