The bus transportation and drivers were excellent in getting everybody prepared for the swam and bayou tour. We learned a lot about the history of the area and the celebrated Jean Lafitte.

Trip was not as long as advertised in La Vacanza Travel. Thought there would be more information about flora/fauna and wildlife.

My husband and I enjoyed the New Orleans Swamp and Bayou tour. We saw so many alligators from beginning to end. Our tour guide was very funny and informative. The only thing was that it was cold that day but you can’t control the weather.

The return bus driver was awesome with greyline, Bryant. The tour was late, the guide mumbled and the airboats all around made it very loud. Thought we would go further out and see more.
