A definite must do when in New Orleans! Our guide Rocky was very entertaining and did everything possible so we could get good pictures and see the animals up close. We saw lots of gators and got some great pictures. Get the package that includes hotel transportation, we had spoken with someone who tried to Uber there and back and their Uber back cancelled on them.

We had an amazing time!! We almost were late, but we contacted the company on the way down from the French Quarter and they were very understanding and they did a head count before we left. We ended up not being late, but the tour still waited about 10 minutes because 2 people were missing. They didn't make it, but you can't really hold up a group of 20+ people forever. Ernie was FANTASTIC. He knows so much about the area and the waters. He was funny, kind, and you can tell he really loves what he does. For those of you who don't carry cash, pick some up before you leave New Orleans, because they cannot take electronic tips unfortunately and they have an atm, but we also only carry credit cards so we couldn't take money out there. 10/10 would recommend. Bring a jacket if you're going in off-season, it was a beautiful day, but it gets a bit chilly once you start moving.

So glad we booked this tour!! Our guide was very skilled at maneuvering the fan boat and knowing the swamp. He was fabulous! All of the drivers had a nice relationship and helped each other find animals. It is obvious they love the swamps and the animals there. They know the alligators on a first name basis. We picked the perfect day. There were plenty of animals out (alligators, turtles and various birds, including bald eagles). The tour was a mix of adventure and learning. It was the perfect balance! It was worth every penny. I’m glad I chose this over the pontoon boat ride.

We set off on a heavy downpour with our bus driver who should be driving NASCAR as she handled that bus like a race car(that's a compliment) and arrived just as the rain quit. We started off with Captain Ernie in the small air boat and cruised through the man-made bayou 's and were really excited to see aligators. Captain Ernie stopped the boat to educate us on their habitat and history. We were all enjoying his enthusiasm for this amazing creature and area. The time flew by and we returned to the dock with a new understanding of this misunderstood species. Thank you Captain Ernie! We highly recommend this tour Jami and Alan Gwiazdon

We did Oak Alley and covered boat swamp tour. Oak Alley was well done although be aware the Big House tour is done by the foundation and is only 35 minutes. Very informative and plenty of time to walk around the property. The swamp tour was ok. Capt. Ernie was informative, but due to the issues with salt water invading the swamp plus time of year the alligators were not out. We saw 1 small one but did get to see a bald eagle. We have been on several swamp tours but none that had the airboat in the same area. They were deafening and made for a less than pleasant experience. Louisiana Tour Company also needs to work on their transportation. Too much time was spent being picked up, then transfered to another bus part way through, then stopping to get the correct driver and the same on the way back.

Thank you for your feedback. Please keep in mind that we do not have any control over the wildlife. Also, transportation is a 30 minute window to allow us to go door to door to get all of our guests. We do offer private transportation for an additional fee if prefer to be picked up at a specific time. As for Oak Alley, you spend a total of 2 hours there, and only 35 minutes of it is a guided tour. The remaining time is self-guided so the guests are free to do as they please.

The best alligator experience ever!
We enjoyed the boat ride, the guide was nice and funny, we appreciated his professionalism and personality.
We've seen a bunch of alligators in their natural environment.
We learned a lot about trees and the wild life in Louisiana but the most important thing is: we felt safe on the boat. Thank you!

Did the adult only ghost, vampire, voodoo tour with Ricardo Guerra. So interesting and fun. He opened up several stories and conversations that I want to learn more about on my own. I especially enjoyed the visual effects too. I would highly recommend it!

I joined a day trip to Oak Alley plantation+Swamp tour last December 2022. I am a solo traveler and I appreciate our guide for the day because she made me feel like a part of the group. Her name is Barbara and she’s very friendly and funny. She shares a lot of interesting facts about the places that we’ve visited and some of her personal experiences as a native of New Orleans. Also, the tour was very organized giving us enough time to wander and take photos especially in the plantation.

We had a great tour of the city of New Orleans and surrounding areas on March 4, 2020. It was comprehensive, and covered so much we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Our tour guide was David, and he was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor. Would recommend Louisiana Tour Company in a heartbeat.

Do not use!!! My father used this tour company last week, and the driver dropped him off FIVE BLOCKS away from his hotel! He called and told them he wanted some money back for having to walk so far back. They never got back to him, so I called. The manager, Jennifer Walker, told me they weren’t refunding him anything because they spoke to the driver and he said he did pass up the hotel. I said if he did go near the hotel, it doesn’t help if you don’t tell the person since they aren’t from the city! The real joke?? The driver went by the WRONG hotel. He was supposed to drop my dad off of the one on Canal street. When my dad said he was by the wrong hotel, his reply was “well I’m going straight.” My father has special $500 arches for his shoes because his feet are so bad. I will be getting legal counsel involved, as this is not okay.

I am sorry that your dad had to walk five blocks and I also told him that as well. After investigating the problem, the driver did indeed stop at the the Marriot on Canal Street where your dad was staying. We have trackers on the buses and it showed that the driver stopped at the Marriot on Canal Street at 5:26PM on December 10, 2021, and made an announcement. This is where we are all unsure of the why your dad did not get off at his stop. So, there clearly was a miscommunication. I tried to empathize with your dad and the driver as it is clearly a miscommunication. Your dad was picked up, completed both of his combo tours, and returned to his hotel like we had arranged. If we had not kept up with our arrangement, then we would have gladly issued a full refund. When I tried to speak with you on the phone and explain the situation, you were clearly the one that was unprofessional because you proceeded to yell and curse at me. I patiently listened to you, despite feeling very offended by you talking to me in that manner, in which I did not deserve. Jennifer Walker Public Relations Manager
