          Excellent tour with lots of information. Laura plantation has its own tour guide and Whitney has audio self guided. Appreciated Renee who picked us up at our rental. Suggest you bring water and snacks since it’s a long day!

          Seamless swamp tour!
          The your with Isabelle was so lovely. She picked me up on time from my hotel and then took me and the other guests to the swamp for the bait tour. During the van ride out she told us all about her city, and when we got to the swamp, the tour guide was informative, funny, and charming. The route he took us on the boat was gorgeous. The alligators were so fascinating to see up close, and the surprise siting of a blue heron was really special. Highly recommend.

          Excellent day!
          We had an amazing time!! Isabelle was fantastic, she was in contact with me well before my trip started. We were picked up from our bed and breakfast by Gisele, and she was the best guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable of all things New Orleans. Highly recommend Tours by Isabelle. The plantation tours were very interesting and informative.

          Best tour
          This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Gisele was knowledgeable and wonderful. There was only four of us (two couples) which made it very personal. It seemed a little expensive but worth every dollar. Food was good all you could eat.

          Superb fun and experience
          Amazing fun tour. Our guide was fantastic, plenty of good humour and facts, and he was great with the boat and animals. Cruising through the bayou was brilliant, and we saw heaps of gators up close. Been wanting to do this for a long time, and it was very cool. Came from Australia and this was one of my must does on our trip. Bus driver was also awesome..shoutout Daynelle.

          Swamp and plantation tour with Isabelle
          Isabelle is so personal and has alot of knowledge about the city. She even went out of her way to pick us up even though we were out of the pick up area. She was great at communicating immediately. It happened to rain the day of our tour and she has ponchos and umbrellas for the whole group. Will defiantly book with her next time in New Orleans!

          Isabelle is so sweet! She did a great job on the tour and was very informative. We all loved hearing about her story.
          Isabelle was very accommodative and did a great job working with our group. Highly recommend tours with Isabelle. We plan on coming back to visit and will be booking with Isabelle again! She took pictures for us and even provided us with ponchos and umbrellas because of the rainy weather. We really enjoyed hearing bits and pieces of her personal story so much that we looked her up on our way home. She has a beautiful orchard and we will be ordering citrus from her this fall. We had such a great time on the tour!! 10 out of 10!

        What a fantastic way to spend our day! Both plantation tours were filled with interesting history of the area and anecdotes about how the families thrived as sugar cane producers. A delicious Southern lunch was served overlooking beautiful gardens. Would highly recommend!

        Stephen was a wealth of information on the way to and from the plantations as well adding little gems the tour guides at the plantations didn't cover. It was especially fun when the subject turned to food (he was in the food industry in his past!)

        We appreciated the great communication we got from Isabelle with our pickup time and being picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Thank you!

        My best friend and I had such a lovely time at the Laura and Houma plantation. The Laura plantation was unexpectedly lovely with its rich Creole culture and the unique architecture. The Houma house was Devine with a luxurious lunch and dessert that sat beautifully in the carriage house. Ms. Isabelle was lovely and a friendly tour guide that informed us of all the lovely history of Louisiana.

        Gisèle our guide was great. She took the time to explain to us and give the details for each planting. We visited 4 of them. Very good atmosphere with the visitors in the small bus. I highly recommend your organization. For us our contact with you was our friend Florence Snow who had chosen you. She did very well

        Steve did A great job guiding our tour. He is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight into Louisiana history, especially about the Nola area. The bus was comfortable and the places we stopped were great. Good food at the last stop.
