We're city-slickers who don't know much about the great outdoors, but the people at Zam's made us feel like long lost relatives!!! We arrived about an hour before the 1:30p tour on a Thursday afternoon and we greeted with huge smiles and plenty of conversation!! We learned about them, the culture, the various animals & bugs...it was very informal, fun,... More

We are from the area and decided, on a whim, to check out a swamp tour just to have a different day away for Mother's Day. Such a fun tour! People were very, very nice. I know alot of people are attracted to the fact that the family was on Wife Swap a few years back, but there are so... More

After numerous worried looks as you pull to the front of this place..... It is THE best memory my family had and the reason my parents chose this for our favorite family vacation. You meet people unlike yourselves with the kindest hearts and so much knowledge of their surroundings. Oreo (the fat goat) :) chasing my sister around and with... More

Instead of taking the boat tour, we took a walking tour with Diego, a guide who really knew his stuff. For only $4 a person, we (Mom, Dad, me 16, my teenage sister, and my two younger brothers got a chance to see a few live alligators, pythons, goats, and even a giant turtle. My two younger brothers especially enjoyed... More

We went on Zam's Swamp Tour and it was quite disappointed. The cute little boy from Trading Spouses is no longer cute. He is 15, sarcastic, and told us to hurry up. The wharf on the front of the building is falling off. The place where you tour to see caged alligators and turtles was unkempt. There was trash all... More

Loved this trip. We had an afternoon to kill so looked this place up on the GPS and were very happy we did. Diego was our tour guide and he was very calm and reserved at first and excellent in explaining the life cycle of a gator and their habits. The pre-tour of their hatchary and mini-zoo was great. We... More

I am from Thibodaux, LA which is adjacent to Kraemer, but currently live in MS. My husbands family was visiting from overseas and I thought it would be nice to show them a different view of the US and share with them some of my heritage. Torres Swamp tours was my first choice but their times out didn't match up... More

Huge waste of money. We also were tours by the son who is now 14. Full of sarcasm and attitude. Twice he said, "look, a bird", but that was it. No gators, not his fault, but also no info on the trees or other wildlife. This outfit also costs twice as much as another nearby company who's tours are much... More

My sister and I went on this swap tour and really enjoyed it. Our guide (Lloyd) was extremely knowledgeable which enhanced our adventure a great deal as we not only saw the bayou with out own eyes, but also learned about the daily lives of the local people, including their traditions and customs. - They do not live like people...
