5.00This excursion is must do if you're visiting New Orleans. We managed to even recommend this sailing to some locals who hadn't known about it. Captain Doug is simply the best as a sailor, historian and host. I surprised my female companion with this sailingand racked up the points:-) This was an awesome experience and we'll definitely be repeat customers!
