Relaxing tour - Relaxing tour. We didn’t see many Gators due to the cold temps but we did see a few!! Always wanted to see the Bayou, not at all what I was imagining. It was a nice time with Captain Kenny. He fed marshmallows to a gator

Amazing experience :) - This was such a fun and good experience! The bus driver and the guide itself were simply fantastic, setting greatly the atmosphere for the whole ride! I loved hearing about New Orleans history, and learning more about the gators while seeing them was 10/10! Very recommended.
