Learning about plantation life. Learning a bit about the history of the area from the various guides. Seeing some of the wildlife in their actual habitat. The swamp boat guide was great as was the bus guide, Kate and driver Ernest.

Our tour was handled brilliantly by Jim (with one m;) and Otis. Jim was hands down the most informative guide we have had in this trip. He dispelled many NOLA myths, and taught us things I had not learnt on my previous 3 New Orleans trips. The 1 hr 15 min drive to Oak Alley was peppered with history and entertaining banter. Otis was a skilled driver who never list his cool in the busy downtown traffic. Highly would recommend this day long tour.

We had a great day with our amazing tour guide Jim and very good driver Otis. Jim is a passionate guide from whom we learned so much during the trip. Everything was perfectly organized and we had enough time to experience both the Oak Alley plantation and a swamp boat tour. We highly recommend to select this particular tour as it is not the airboat tour (loud, fast and scaring the wildlife). We saw many aligators. Once again big thank you for an informative and fun day!

Jim was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge of the Oak Alley Plantation and Swamp land were delivered with wit and incredible intellect. The guy is an absolute credit to Gray Line and am sure he must be the envy of other tour operators in the area…class! Must mention Otis the driver to, top man and great driver! Thanks for a fantastic day!

This was a tour I was excited about, seeing a plantation and going through the swamp. This was as a trip that was three years in the making due to Covid. It could not have not been better and having Jim as our guide was awesome, he is a river of knowledge with great wit. Out driver Otis was so friendly and polite. Would highly recommend this tour!

The entire day exceeded my expectations thanks to tour guide Jim and driver Odis (Odus?). I couldn't have imagined a better tour experience. It was the perfect day - day one - of my first visit to New Orleans. Jim was everything a tour guide should be. Not only is he formally educated on the history of the region (he holds a Masters degree in history), but he is hilarious, entertaining and fully engaging. And very organized. We hung on every word he uttered! Thank you Jim for gifting me a perfect day in New Orleans...
