Our tour guide Rene is a wonderful host to visitors of New Orleans. He brings the city he loves to life with personal stories and historical facts. It was a great day and highly recommended. Isabelle was very helpful booking our tour. She and Rene made our first trip to NOLA special!

A great way to experience NOLA in a short amount of time! The two plantation tours were so interesting and the lunch was great. The airboat ride was fun and our airboat captain was fantastic. It was nice and relaxing to have the activities and lunch taken care of and our tour van driver, Ellen, was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend and would 100% use Tours by Isabelle again.

Perfect day!! We were picked up in front of our hotel by Rene from Tours by Issabelle. Rene was an excellent tour guide. Rene gave us a great history of the area and information about the sites we were going to visit. The first stop was the airboat swamp tour. We all loved it so much. The swamp was beautiful with tons of birds, and we saw an alligator even though the temperature was cool. The second stop was Houmas House. We started with a delicious buffet lunch and then a tour of the estate home. Ruby our guide, was fun and very informative. After the house tour, there was time to check out the beautiful grounds of the estate. The third stop was of the Laura Plantation. It is a totally different experience. The Plantation house is very different from Houmas House. Our tour guide was Lee. He gave us a very informative tour as well. We toured the Laura House and one of the slaves homes. They have a very nice gift shop to visit after the tour. We drove back to New Orleans after an active and full day.

Really enjoyed this trip . We were picked up promptly by our driver and guide , John and went straight to the Airboats . Great ride and a very informative Captain .Saw lots of wildlife including alligators, turtles and lots of different Birds . Then on to 2 very different houses ,one a creole sugar plantation and the second one a grand southern plantation which once was the largest one in the south . We had a delicious Southern style buffet lunch . Both plantations had great guides who bought history alive..I highly recommended this trip .

We had a FANTASTIC time! We got picked up at our hotel by Rene and he gave us an excellent commentary about New Orleans and all that it has to offer as we drove to our destinations. He even recommended music venues and restaurants. We would recommend this tour 100%, it's a must do for anyone visiting New Orleans.
