This tour was awesome. We... - This tour was awesome. We would highly recommend it. The bus driver was great. He was very funny and knowledgeable, without giving out to much information prior to the actual tour. We liked that the Whitney Plantation tour was a self guided tour, but we were able to get the history of the Plantation at the same time. We also really enjoyed the air boat, swamp tour. We saw several alligators and learned a lot about the alligators and their habitat.

Wonderful! - Had such a great experience on our trip. We had enough time to soak in all of the facts and information at the plantation, as well as enjoy the airboat tour afterwards. There was a discrepancy with my booking at the airboat tour, but this was all sorted between the front desk and our driver.
I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans. 5 stars!

Great tour - Great tour. We did the Whitney plantation and airboat tour combo. Got picked up at 8 am and was back at hotel at 4pm. Whitney plantation was a good experience and a must, we also stopped at Oak Alley plantation for lunch. The airboat ride was very fun and our guide was very informative and funny. We had a great time on this tour, and highly recommend to everyone.

Girls birthday celebration - All of the staff were wonderful-friendly, helpful, and professional. The only downside was the amount of downtime between tours while waiting for transportation. We had at least two hours of waiting with nothing available but small snacks. If two tours are scheduled back-to-back, it would be helpful to let guests know ahead of time to bring lunch or plan for food in between.
