    I highly recommend the Plantation and Swamp Tour! The plantation was beautiful and served as a powerful, sobering reminder of American history. But the swamp tour truly stole the show—it was unforgettable. We saw alligators snapping up marshmallows like Pac-Man, and even got surprise visits from raccoons and wild pigs. Our tour guide was hilarious and kept us laughing the whole time. Such a fun and unique experience!

  • Interesting Sights, But Lacking in Execution

    The tour was okay, but not particularly memorable. The biggest issue was the tour guide unfortunately, they were very hard to understand, which made it difficult to follow along or get much out of the commentary. While the locations themselves were interesting, overall I didn’t feel it was the best value for the price. I’m glad I experienced it once, but I probably wouldn’t do it again or recommend it over other tour options in the area.
