“I loved my tour guide today. Her name is Dionne. She was awesome and knowledgeable. She answered all of the questions we asked and she also encouraged us to do so. I learned a lot today about New Orleans history, French/ Spanish history, the Creole/ Cajun culture from food to music. I don’t usually write reviews, but I would love to take some time to leave some words, especially for her today. Thank you so much once again. I went straight to the airport when I was dropped off. So the tour was my last activity in New Orleans. I’m so glad now that I booked the tour.”

“I did not realize how much time was spent on the bus in the morning picking up other passengers throughout the city. There was little time to view the grounds when we arrived before our tour began.

The grounds were spectacular! I would have liked to spend more time there.”

“Busy day from the bayou boat ride to Oak Alley tour! The only complaint is the bus ride...if you’re in the back seats every bump the bus hits you will go flying but not the fault of the tour company...typical roads in and around New Orleans. The bayou boat ride was fun and the weather was great! The alligators came out to eat marshmallows so plenty of opportunities to see and take photos of the gators. The Oak Alley plantation was great and informative...it is history...not the best moment in our history but nevertheless a part of our history. It is this history that reminds us to never repeat this…”
