Worthwhile trip - The trip was fantastic and our driver was really lovely. The plantation tour was good and the airboat was the highlight! Our driver who picked us up from our hotel was a little rude saying he had been waiting for us and we were not at the location which was incorrect - we were out front of our hotel 5 mins before our pick up window but other than that great day!

Barbara the driver was great!😁 - If you have a great driver like Barbara, you will learn a lot of things. We had time to visit everything and have lunch before leaving for the marshes.

Swamp tour with Captain BeBop!!! - Captain Be Bop is the best! Fabulous tour because he is knowledgeable and interacting. We learned so much and had so much fun because of him. For example, I had a question about flora and made a point of driving out to a spot in the swamp to explain and show the response. In my opinion, he was the perfect ambassador to share the beauty and secrets of the swamp. Additionally, he threw in friendly chatter about the local culture and fish cooking tips. Thanks Captain BeBop!!!

Fun but not what expect - For an 8 hour adventure, you only spend about an hour at plantation and an hour and a half on the swamp boat. The rest is driving and transferring busses that typically run later than expected.

Rude driver - The experience was nice, our driver was very rude, had road rage and did not make the drive pleasant at all.
