This is definitely the way to see the swamps in the New Orleans area. Our guide provided an exciting but safe ride full of alligators, scenery, and stories. The 6 of us had a fabulous time.

Such a great experience. Would do this again in a second. Our driver was knowledgeable, respectful of the environment, kid focused pictures with alligators! and obviously loved what he does. The Plantation Tour part was interesting but really didn't come alive for us. I think our tour guide was new.

We found the plantation tour very good with a great guide who gave excellent explanations with a good mixture of humour. The swamp tour was exciting especially meeting 'Francois' the alligator. My only complaint there was no where to buy a good lunch only snacks. Came back somewhat hungry!

We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Guides were informative and pleasant.

The small-group was not really small. The airboat swamp tour took place in a big boat with 12 persons. I paid a higher price to have the chance to do it in a small group but they put together two groups...so little bit of disappointment. A part from this nice tour.

Great fun. We came across little gators but unfortunately not much else. Once the boat got up some speed it was fun. The plantation visit was interesting.

We had a wonderful time. The tour guide was exceptional. The weather was extremely hot! Yet, the guide went out of his way to ensure that we had a great airboat ride! Our driver was also exceptional. The entire ride to and from the plantation and swamp he provided historical information on the city he loved! Highly recommended.

This was a great tour. The people at the tour company Isabella Tours are true professionals. Their van was very nice and they were prompt on the pickup at the hotel. Katha was our guide and she is an expert at her craft. I would recommend this to anyone.

Brilliant trip on the small airboat and would certainly recommend this company. Loads of gators and birds and beautiful scenery as you travel through the swamps surrounded by moss covered trees. Good fun.

Excellent tour. On the first part of the tour, Plantation and its history were fascinating. We were able to see a lot of alligators on the second part of the tour, but really alligator sightings depend on time of year.

The airboat ride was fun. Our guide was OK but I would have liked him to stop and talk with us more than once. Disappointed because we paid for a small group tour, ended up on a larger group tour and boat than we wanted. Make sure when you confirm day before it and #39;s a small group and boat.

Transportation to/from the airboat tour and plantation tour via Tours by Isabelle was stellar. Airboat driver Gary was excellent very knowledgeable and skilled. Loved every minute it was great fun!

Loved this tour. No problems with pick up at our hotel. Being a small group the tour worked very well. Our guide Kat was friendly and knowledgeable. Plantation tour was very good and informative the tour guide there was fantastic. Airboat tour was sensational ...if you get the same boat driver as we had be prepared to get close and personal with his favorite alligators!!! We would definitely recommend this tour.

Our tour was okay but started on a very sour note. Having signed up for the Small Group Tour we were in a large boat carrying 13 patrons. While our guide was wonderful and our group a great bunch the feeling lacked the closeness of small group and the boat could not go to all the places a small boat could. Frankly I feel mislead.

This was a highlight of our stay in New Orleans. Captain Gary made it fun and the cruise into the swamps will be one of my best memories of New Orleans. Even had an alligator swim to the boat._br/_ More time was needed at the plantation. It was interesting and we would have enjoyed more of the history.

I only did the airboat ride of this tour and it was absolutely awesome!!!!!! My airboat guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great time.
Review by: Jennifer F, June 2016
The small airboat was the way to go and we had an excellent captain. Gary had spent his life on and around the swamp and this was evident in his abundant knowledge. We had lots of laughs and enjoyed the peacefulness when the motor stopped running. Thank you Gary for your environmentalist views as well and the perfect tour

A great experience in a group of only 7 of us. _br/_ The air boat ride was a highlight of our trip meeting our guide and driver/ pilot Garry who was fun and knowledgable, entertaining us with his local knowledge and very funny tales._br/_ I would highly recommend the airboat tour, the plantation house is a must, it is an important part of this areas history.
