Oak Alley & Airboat Tour - This was a fun trip. The tour of the house was informative. Even though it was freezing, our captain made the airboat fun.

We liked this day trip - We really enjoyed this experience. We were picked up at our hotel on time by Reggie. He explained what to expect. The minibus was comfortable and in around a half hour we were at the airboat (we took the large airboat which sat around 15 people). Kenny drove the airboat and made sure we all had a great time. The boat ride itself was a lot of fun and we saw quite a few alligators and a bald eagle. Kenny explained a lot about alligators and the sites. Great fun and informative. After the boat it was back on the bus (30+ ? Min) to the Oak Alley Plantation. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at the cafe (get the pecan pralines) and then git a tour if the mansion by Wes who was very informative and then we toured all the otger exhibits. After that it was an hour ride back to NOLA (most of us slept). There were bathroom facilities at both the airboat and the mansion. We had a great day and highly recommend.

Great Tour with Great Guides - Plantation Tour was everything we expected and more. The tour guide at the Mansion was very experienced and gave a great presentation of the history of the plantation. The swamp boat tour was one of the best things we did while visiting New Orleans. Our guide was excellent, and we had great weather for taking photos. We even saw alligators even though our guide said it was a bit chilly for them to be out and about. Great Tour!
