This was a great tour. Brandon was fantastic, very entertaining and informative. Given the cold we still saw a couple of alligators, a bunch of wild hogs, and some raccoons. Such a fun experience! The plantation was great. Learned a lot from our tour guide Jim!
Good tour if you are...

Great trip with informative introduction on the culture and history of Louisiana and Oak Alley. The sceneries are wonderful. The history of Cajuns and wild animals in the Swamp are amazing. Highly recommend if have interests.
