Overview of your New Orleans tour
Please send me a message if you want to customize this tour. Enjoy the history and culture as you drive through some of the most interesting and beautiful neighborhoods of New Orleans. We will then head down to the bayous where you will take a 1hour and 45 min. Airboat Tour on a Small airboat (the small airboat will have up to 10 passengers) Experience an indelible part of Louisiana's past, present and future. Visit the mysterious and exquisite swamps. Home to one of the planet's richest and most diverse ecosystems. Perceived as beautiful and menacing, south Louisiana's ancient swamps have long captivated writers, historians and travelers. Modern-day explorers still have an intense curiosity about the beauty found in Louisiana swamps—the untouched nature and groves of gnarled cypress trees dripping with lush Spanish moss.

We toured New Orleans with Michaela on April 11 and had a wonderful time. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and had an amazing number of fascinating anecdotes to provide depth and color to the tour. She is charming and warm and we all would have liked the tour to continue for another day.
