Great package tours. We had a great time with the small airboat, the guide was great, very informative and knowledgable, too bad it's winter, we didn't see any alligator.
Jefferson indoor range was great. We had lots of fun, the instructor was very nice. Our driver/tour guide was the best, he showed us a lot along the way.

After a night of heavy drinking, this was the best way to get out of the French Quarter and experience LA in a unique way. Katha, our tour guide/driver, was extremely hospitable, knowledgeable and kind. The van was roomy and clean. We stopped at the gun range first and got a nice adrenaline rush - the clips are a bit small so you will probably be done fairly quick but the experience was fun. You're able to buy more ammo if you want to shoot more. My favorite part was the airboat tour - you'll go through some old logging canals and get to see plenty of wildlife (gators, eagles, heron, and more). Highly recommend this experience for anyone who is tired of day drinking in the quarter or wants a different experience of what NOLA has to offer!

Did the gun range and swamp air boat tour with transportation.
Good communication regarding times and pick up. We were picked up from Air BnB which was great.
Patrick tour guide/driver very informative.
Really enjoyed whole day as would never get the chance to fire a gun in the Uk.
Air boat good too and driver was very patient in making sure we saw some alligators even though hibernation season. Plenty of info on swamp wildlife given too.
We were not rushed at snack stop or gift shop which was appreciated.

Great experience at Gators and Guns last week. Its a great service as we were collected at our hotel by our guide for the day Kat and drove us to both locations, firstly to the gun range and then out to the swamps. Kat was great fun, informative and provided great suggestions for food after the days activities. Would highly recommend.

All 5 star reviews for a reason! Excellent service from bus drivers thru guides! Did not lose any limbs on our gator tour. Good conversations and interaction from the guides. Knowledgeable and friendly and tolerant of us gullible riders. Loved the conversations with guides and fellow passengers. Great trip!

I was travelling with a stag party (group of 9) and we booked onto the trip to have a fun and unique experience (to break up the partying). Our tour operator, Patrick, did a great job communicating before the trip and came with us to the gun range to make sure we were all settling in well. The gators were a particular highlight - especially getting waaaaay too close! The only minor issue was that our bus driver got lost twice and it was a very hot day, so the passengers all got a bit frazzled. But we quickly forgot this, as the two stops were awesome fun!

Had a great day with the family. Jefferson gun range is fantastic fun for the whole family in a safe environment. The Gator tour was also interesting but being winter and a very cold day meant Gators were few and far between. Easy going staff nothing was too much trouble

Going on this trip was definitely a highlight of our holiday. It was easy to book and the trip went so smoothly. Our tour guide brought us through some lovely parts of New Orleans and told us about the history of the city. The gun range was so exhilarating and we had great laughs on the air-boat. Recommend getting the small boat.
Do not miss this trip on your holiday.

The Gator Tour was amazing. We had a great guide and we saw 15 to 20 gators and learned a lot about the LA. Great airport tour and if you have a big group go private.

The Guns were great they were so pleasant and really helped us feel safe and learn since we were all shooting for the first time

We only had a couple of days in New Orleans so we could tick 2 items of the bucket list in one go! Wild alligators plus shooting automatic guns at a gun range. We were picked up at our hotel and taken the scenic route to the range, the guides name escapes me but he was very knowledgeable about the area. The staff at the gun range in Jefferson were friendly and managed to convince my wife to shoot as well. She used a .22 8 shot revolver. Good fun. The driver then took us to the air boats, and we did the tour seeing plenty of alligators of different sizes, they will come right upto the boat for a marshmallow! Our guide still had bandages on his hand from getting too close. Then we were taken back to the hotel. All in all a great experience.
