Isabelle provided very clear communication from the start, an exact pick up time,and John our driver was very prompt. The swamp air boat tour was 1st and Captain Mike was great! He knew exactly where the alligators were, and they come to him. We saw about 20 today and got to hold a 3 year old he had caught. The Destrahan mansion tour guide (Jordan) was great and very informative. I did Oak Alley a couple years ago and felt Destrehan was better (house a bit more modest but tour much better, displays more developed, and balanced perspecrive). My only complaint (and it was a big one) is that we couldn't hear our driver John in the van as he narrated while we drove around. Three times we all communicated this to him, he would adjust his microphone which helped tremendously for about 2 sentences, and then it would revert back so we gave up. The van's fan made it worse. Totally frustrating! He did some commentary at the plantation also and IMHO he just can't project his voice for the job.
