Best alligator tour! - This was the BEST tour. It was so much fun and we learned some fun facts. Our airboat captain, Captain Bebop was awesome. He was funny and nice. We toured end of December so chances of seeing alligators was slim. He found us 2. We also got to hold a baby. It was so exciting. He was personable, polite but damn he was funny. We had the best time.

Outstanding experience. - So much fun! We had a blast on our tour of the Bayou. We saw alligators, a blue heron, a bald eagle, and an owl. What a great way to experience and learn about this beautiful habitat.

City Cemetery and Swamp Tour - Excellent tour. We went on this tour December 3rd. Our bus driver was amazing. He was warm and friendly and knew everything about the City. The tour goes all over the City so you see a lot and get to know the lay of the land. This was great for our first time in NOLA. It was a little too cold for the swamp tour, but again we had a great guide which made it fun. We also saw one alligator swimming around, which was special since they are should hibernating now. I loved the tour but would recommend the swamp portion in warmer weather.

Excellent day. Darrell... - Excellent day. Darrell was an excellent tour guide. He was humorous and informative. Referring to his tourists by their state. Easy pick up right at the hotel and transfer to another bus for the 2nd part of our tour. We totally enjoyed this full day tour.

Good tour. - Great overall tour. Love the added musical additions to the information. Great rainy day activity minus the airboat due to weather.

Bayou a tour - The bus tour of the French Quarter & information given by Darren was great and educational. I like the way he handled the bus tour. After we got switched to the Airboat bus, Lorraine was fun but not much of an educational ride. Plus the fact that we had to move to her bus we were seated way back and she did not have any microphone so it was hard to hear. The airboat stated disappointing since we were not called and I had to search which airboat we were to ride. We ended up with Capt Bob. He was great with the tour of the bayou and with educational info about the swamp, alligators, & other animals around the swamp.

City, cemetery, swamp tour - The city and swamp tours were great with knowledgeable guides. The ride out to the swamp was very bumpy and we could not hear the driver talking at all.
