This was a great tour however I thought we would be travelling farther into the bayou than we did. I also had difficulties with the staff feeding the alligators "marshmallows". They are not good for humans, so I would think not good for alligators and racoons. More

Swamp tour on a pontoon boat next to Bayou Signette State Park in Westwego, La. .

Well worthwhile of your time and dollar More

This swamp tour was the highlight of our short trip to New Orleans! We received a fantastic tour from a local who knows the area well. Extremely educational both visually and verbally. We learned about the effect of the flooding in this area too. The youngest member of our family was nervous about getting way too close to an alligator... More
