We took this tour at the conclusion of our lower Mississippi River cruise. This was the best of all the tours we took on this trip. Both segments of this package (Destrehan Plantation and the swamp tour) were very interesting and educational. There was a minimal amount of walking or stair climbing involved (being somewhat mobility limited, I appreciated this). I would certainly recommend this tour to all--you won't be disappointed.
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.
