Excellent tour, excellent guides, and the pace was just right. Highly recommended.
Informative
Enjoyed the history of the Destrehan Plantation as well as learning about the 1811 slave revolt. Swamp tour- we did the covered flat boar instead of the airboat due to my husband's back. It was awesome. Our guide Rocky was great. Had a chance to hold a 2 month old baby gator, a 2 year 2 foot gator and was able to pet the 6 footer he brought up to and on the boat. Highly recommend it.

Wonderful visit at the plantation. Wish we had longer to wander the plantations. Thought the swamp visit would include more of a tour of the swamp area and to learn about the vegetation and the area.
It was still fun to look at the gators and feed them.
The pick up service at the hotel was nice.
