My husband and I visited New Orleans this month. I had been planning this trip for about a year. Then Covid hit. Isabelle was absolutely awesome.

We had a fabulous time on our tour! Thank you, Isabelle, for such a fantastic experience. Giselle was a world class tour guide and made the experience very enjoyable. She was friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. The swamp airboat ride was the coolest and we had the best time. Our airboat driver was engaging and very friendly. The conversation was great and he shared interesting facts and lots of information. The plantation tours were top notch. We were so impressed with the tour guides and their presentations. Our luncheon was more than we ever expected. Thank you, thank you for a beautiful day!…

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.…
