We had a fantastic day with our tour of N.O. and a gator swamp tour on a small air boat. Our driver David from Alert Transportation picked us up on time from the hotel and was friendly and courteous. He gave us a fantastic tour of the city. Afterwards, we were transported to the docking location for our swamp tour. Our guide Jason was fantastic and despite the really cold weather managed to get up close to some gators and other wildlife. We really had a great time and would return.

It was all great but the swamp boat with trey was fantastic. He was great!!! David on our city tour was also great. Very knowledgeable

New Orleans 3 hour city tour with Darren Bouvet (?) was probably best I have ever been on. (How could a city tour be 3 hours?) Born & raised in New Orleans, he knew the history of every section of the city we travelled through. Pointed out long-term effects of Katrina, high-low spots of districts, architecture. Easy to hear and understand him. I am well-seasoned! The snack and bathroom breaks were perfectly timed. He even has his own soundtrack playlist that connects to each area by song, in a city rich with music. If an artist was mentioned there was a familiar tune to go with the name. We switched busses mid-day to head for a swamp tour and all went seamlessly. Swamp tour was also great. Our boat driver, Jason, was passionate and knowledgeable about the echo systems and wildlife. We definitely saw lots of alligators, and nature is always hit or miss. Glad we decided against the air boat, because it was fairly chilly travelling on the water. Excellent tour for anyone with a bit of mobility issues.
