Part I: City Tour/Katrina Tour
Your ground transportation will arrive starting at 9:30am at the curbside of your hotel. We use our sister company, “Alert Transportation” for the ground transportation service. The driver will go hotel to hotel to pick up our guests. Please allow us up to 30 minutes for the pick up process. The city tour will begin as soon as everyone is aboard and there will be a 20 minute break in the middle of the tour for snacks and restroom .
You will spend an unforgettable 3 hours on our comfortable air conditioned Mini-bus and get an overview of New Orleans. Experience the history and culture of the Creoles with your licensed tour guide. No trip to New Orleans would be complete without seeing the highlights of our city and the some of the areas affected by Katrina’s flood waters.
Your tour will end about 1:00 pm, when you will be transferred to our swamp tour vehicle. The driver will take you to the swamp tour dock, where you will arrive by 1:45pm. There is a snack and souvenir shop with candy, chips, microwave sandwiches, muffins and drinks. There is no time for a sit down lunch.
Part II: Swamp Boat Tour
Travel time is about 35 to 40 minutes to the swamp tour dock. After arrival, you will go to the ticket booth to get your boarding pass. The Swamp tour begins at 2:10 pm. You will spend about 1 hour 40 minutes on the swamp tour.
On this tour, you will enjoy a fully narrated swamp tour by one of our local captains in the comfort of a swamp tour boat. Our tour boats feature a roof, cushioned seats, windows that can be raised or lowered for the weather, restroom, and plenty of standing and walking room. You will enjoy close encounters with the indigenous swamp life as you learn about what it is like to live in the Louisiana swamps.
The options on the combo tour are: (1) do the tour as described above (no notification is required) (2) to split it into different days or (3) do the swamp tour at 8am pick up, return to the hotel at the end of the swamp tour, drop off at your hotel by 12:15 pm – get an approximate 1 hour time in between the two tours. Pick up begins at 1:30pm for the City Katrina tour that will end about 5:00 pm. To get one of these options, you can call our office to talk to one of our ticket agents or send an email requesting the schedule change.
