2.00The tour operator needs to provide more clarity and transparency as to how the logistics of the day actually works. Pick up at our hotel was quite timely...appreciate that. From there we had to transfer to another shuttle bus that took us on the actual trip. It's one hour from the city to Whitney Plantation. We had plenty of time at the Plantation. Which is a must do....do not miss this experience. Really learned alot there....very important museum. From there we went to another Plantation to have a snack or lunch at the café on its premises. We had 20 minutes tk make sure we were on time for the airboat tour. Only to sit and wait 30 minutes for the airboat tour. I would have rather had ths time to maybe eat a better lunch at the restaurant at the Plantation! Raging Cajuns airboat tour was fantastic. So fun. But....it was a 2 pm tour that lasted 90 minutes. The listing said back by 4 pm which is why and how I planned the rest of my evening. We got back by 430 but that was only because we got off the shuttle bud early and walked back ourselves. All in all....the actual 3 hours of experiences we had a today were great. The logistics of the rest really put a negative side to the whole day.

5.00It was amazing! I feel closer to my ancestors now. Can’t wait to share with all my friends and family. I needed just one hour more to tour the site. I wanted to read all the names. This was a great experience. Everyone should take this tour.
