    When we visited it had not rained in a while and so the wetlands were not that wet. Sadly that meant that the alligators were not really visible, except for one mama one. Despite this, it was a lovely experience. I'll break down my thoughts to help with the information:
    Logistics:
    - it is a short 25min drive from New Orleans. we recommend hiring a car for a few hours since it doesn't seem like a ride share would be readily available near the swamp (I could be wrong)
    - If you want a ranger guided 'wetland walk', they have it daily at 10am and 2pm.
    - Carry a hat and wear sunscreen as portions of it are unshaded.

    Experience:
    - Highly informative. The personal touch of a ranger guiding you is wonderful. We learnt soo much about alligators and spiders.
    - The walk is not that long, you can spend about 30mins and be done.
    - I preferred this over a swamp tour since it was quicker, we walked through the alligators ecosystem, they were close enough to see them and we could leave whenever we wanted. The entire experience was 1hour. With a swamp tour boat half the day is lost.

    Highly recommend!

    Ok, but missing past wow factor, valid intelligible information, crack like marshmellows, fewer and shorter gators seen. Wife and I and twin teens (16 y/o) thought the trip was "ok" , it was pleasant and relaxing with nice scenery but not like past trips. When questioned after the show, the guide offered half baked responses or simply kept saying, "I don't know"., or blamed lack of energy and excitement and missing items from past trips on "new preserve rules" which he could not comment on much either....

    My friends and I took a 3 hour mini-bus tour on 2/22/24 which included a stop at Cafe Du Monde in the park and a cemetery tour as well....our tour guide, Darren Boue, was fantastic!! He had an awesome recording of various songs and sound bites that accompanied the tour in addition to his amazing knowledge of the City and all the important sights and stories...He literally talked or had music playing for the full 3 hours...we all loved it!! (I remembered his name because my husband is also Darren) and he told us a funny story how important punctuation can be. We were also picked up and dropped off right at our hotel...The only thing different we would have done was to take it on our first day there instead of the third...we learned so much about the City and places to go!! Also booking was so easy...did it right on our phones, very easy and the bus itself was also roomy, clean, perfectly temperature controlled, and comfortable!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!
