Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Review of: New Orleans Airboat Ride
    Kenny was Amazing
    Our tour was so great. We would totally go again. Kenny had so much local knowledge of the area and of the Alligators. Very informative and super fun. The Airboat was a blast.

    Ghost and vampires stories from Robi rob that were amazing. Really get us in the vibe and I got to capture a ghost! when you feel it you know. You can see on the first window of the last floor of my picture, a face.

    Review of: Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans
    Even better than expected
    Jim was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. In addition, Alton did a great job driving us to and from the destinations. This tour was definitely better than I anticipated… the plantation was beautiful and very educational while the boat ride was extremely thrilling and unique. All in all, a wonderful experience! :)

    Great tour!
    Doug was awesome! I picked this tour to learn some less common history and was very happy with the route, stories, and guide. I definitely think we lucked out by getting Doug as our guide.

    Review of: New Orleans Steamboat Natchez Harbor Cruise
    Love NOLA
    Nice trip. Something to do while in NO. The food was good and the drinks. Great bartenders and service staff. LOGAN (a hostess) was very accommodating 🤩. It rained during our tour so really didn't get a chance to take advantage of the sights along the ride but ne and my friends enjoyed the experienced.

    Review of: Small-Group Swamp Tour by Airboat with Downtown New Orleans Pickup
    Amazing swamp tour
    This tour was the highlight of our trip! We took our kids ages 11 and 14 and they had the best time! The airboat was so fun to ride in and can go super fast which was fun in itself! But the views of the bayous and the alligators we saw were amazing and a must see if you are visiting Louisiana. I am so glad we booked this tour and highly recommend it! Our tour guide, Danny was very fun and shared many cool things about the swamp with us. Such an awesome day!

    Review of: St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour - Enters the Cemetery
    Worth your time!
    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the cemetery and did a good job highlighting some of the more famous tombs and their history. We especially liked how in depth he went about Nicolas Cage‘s future tomb. There wasn’t a lot of time provided to take our time and look around so I did feel a little rushed. We went when it was raining, which might have been why. In addition, I would have liked a little bit more information about some other famous New Orleanian people that were buried there, or for our guide to dispel some rumors about people that are believed to be buried there, but aren’t (Madame LaLaurie, for example). Overall, we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others. We also appreciated that we got there a little early and they let us go with the tour group right before ours so we didn’t have to wait around.

    Not so scary ghost carriage ride!!!
    Driver KJ and Mule Lou were amazing. The commentary was detailed and delivery was most humorous. The mule knew where it was going, so KJ could expound on the places were we were traveling. Thanks for such a great time.

    I loved learning about the history of all of the dishes and the architecture. I just wish we could have tried one or two more dishes like etouffee and muffaletta sandwiches. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
