  • The bus guide and drivers were a joy and skilled

    It was an experience well worth the trip. Our guide and bus driver were both excellent. My only issue would be with the swamp boat guide. (Justin?) Handled his boat excellently. But we didnt need to hear his political or social views throughout out the trip. Also, while I get he thought it funny, his repeated use of the term when he couldn't get the wildlife to act as he desired he would say "this isn't a union job, you actually have to work" is a bit offensive to passengers how work hard everyday and are lucky enough to work in a union. While being the swamps of LA his leanings weren't any surprise to my family it wasn't appropriate for this setting and I would avoid using this company in the future based on my desire to leave those issues behind while on vacation.

  • Wow!!!

    What an amazing day filled with lasting memories. We learned a lot about the history on Louisiana and Or New Orleans. Made friendships and had a nice lunch. The oak plantation is beautiful. The swamp boat ride was also very educational and made for a great day.
