Great tour overall! Nice, clean tour bus, and we stayed fairly on time throughout the day. Were picked up from our hotel near Bourbon Street around 8:15 AM and dropped off around 4:30/5.
Would definitely recommend the Whitney Plantation tour (self-guided with earphones and prerecorded commentary) and the airboat swamp tour (gators!).
I do wish the communication was better - we loved the hotel pick-up and drop-off but didn't really receive any sort of confirmation or info on that process beforehand. Left kind of wondering but ended up working out.

The driver Dione made this an incredible experience and Whitney Plantation was awesome. Driver pointed out all types of landmarks along the way. We were also given some extra photo ops of Oak Alley Plantation. After our plantation we had a sit down lunch at a restaurant on the swamp grounds which was amazing, then we enjoyed a airboat swamp tour we seemed so many alligators. I will recommend N’awlins Luxury Tours to family and friends.
