What Our Guests Say

“We took the large fan boat tour. It was so much fun. Everyone in my group loved the tour. The guide was so much fun. We will definitely come back again.”

“My mom and I did this together and we had a blast. It was very fun and very interesting and we received a lot of knowledge on gators, a preserve vs wild and bringing them back from near extinction. Our captain was very knowledgeable, funny, and had great stories to share. I recommended going on this tour.”

“AMAZING!! YahYah Universe was a spectacular guide! The way she told stories really brought them to life and her in-depth knowledge of the French Quarter was so engaging. This was the BEST tour I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on a lot!”

“Awesome tour. Great knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of stories and history. And I loved the coffee break!”

“We had the Best time. We saw lots of gators, birds a few fish and turtles, beautiful flowers. We took the private tour. I’m glad we did. Kids and the G-mom want to go again next year.”

“We had a great time on the after dark cemetery tour! Christian was very informative and entertaining. We learned a lot of history, maybe saw a ghost, and had fun and beignets too.”

“The City Tour was fantastic, we were able to see and learn so much about the growth and development of the neighborhoods and how important each are to the well being of the city.”

“The Ghosts and Vampires tour was one of my most memorable parts of my trip to NOLA. Katherine is the BEST tour guide I have ever had (and I am a researcher so I've been on my share of tours). Katherine's love for the city is infectious and you leave the tour spooked and appreciative for those who made NOLA what it is. *This is not a gimmicky tour* it is based off historical facts! History is always scarier than fiction.”

“It was so much fun and so exciting to hear the history and stories that go along with the city and seeing the places firsthand. The guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, and able to entertain us with the stories. She even showed us pictures sent to her from other people who had taken the same tour. I would definitely go again multiple times. It is definitely worth it.”

“This swamp tour was hands down the best of the few we've taken. We saw easily 50+ gators of all sizes. Our guide was absolutely amazing, seemed to genuinely know & appreciate the swamp and was very experienced. He had gators coming right to the airboat with marshmallows and GRABBED ONE AND KISSED IT. Blown away 100/10 will do again.”

“I worked with Lenny to book a Gator tour and a Ghost Tour for my company while we were in town for a conference. Lenny was amazing and accommodating. He helped me pick the right tours for my groups and even arranged transportation to and from the swamp! The group that went on the Gator Tour said the tour guide was very entertaining and gave our group a show getting hands-on with the gators!”

“Being from Texas I wanted to show my California wife what true Louisiana is. Captain Steve was a blast. His knowledge of the ecosystem and habitat was that of an Ivy League professor and the tour was sensational. Highly recommended and ask for tiger bait.”

“This tour company is top notch! From reservations, making special arrangements for our pick up near our place, sent messages reminding of the upcoming trip. The Air Boat Captain was great, informative and friendly and just the right amount of crazy to make the ride fun. I'd go back on my next trip. Oh and to hear a Chevy 454 4 Barrel scream across the water, that alone is worth it! Highly recommend this tour and specially this outfit!”

“Me and my best friend booked this experience a few days after Christmas. Our tour guide was Yah Yah Universe. The way she told the stories with such passion made me wish the tour was longer. If you book please ask for Yah Yah - you won't regret it!”

“The tour started out on a small bus with a small crowd so that everyone could be involved. 'J' was our tour guide and did a great job of giving us information about the city. She made the tour funny, fun, insightful. She included people from the tour to interact with the areas we were seeing which added to the fun. It is fun for all ages and recommended for anyone looking for a tour of the city.”

“My second tour was a city tour, and I loved it. I saw a few areas of the city that I haven't seen before; even though I've been to the city dozens of times. The guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out several things that were quite meaningful to me.”

“Our tour Guide Andrew provided an enjoyable informative tour. While I have visited New Orleans many times this is the first time I did an actual tour of one of my favorite cities. I highly recommend. I learned a lot of new facts. The tour bus was clean and comfortable.”

“Did 2 tours - medium airboat & then the ghost & vampire tour. Both were great with great tour guides on both. They were very knowledgeable.”

“We did the 21+ Ghost and Vampires tour in the French Quarter. Kathryn was incredible! I adored her storytelling and she clearly has an incredible wealth of historical knowledge. I would absolutely recommend anyone to take her tour!”

“My 15 year old and I did this tour at night. It was really fun - not scary at all. A little spooky because it was Halloween weekend. Our tour guide Ariadne B. was amazing. She has a gift for story telling. Go at night and request her. You won't be disappointed!! Fun to do if you have older kids (I would say like 10 & up).”

“Our tour guide Tiny was awesome! He was knowledgeable and made the entire tour interesting. It made our Halloween, spooky, thrill seeking selves, that much more happy. 10/10 highly recommend.”

“Chris was amazing! Very professional and super funny! My cousin Becky Jo and I had a blast! Can't wait to go back and investigate with him again!”

“My family and I booked through Gators and Ghosts for a paranormal investigation tour. It was a walking tour and was unsettlingly eventful. I'd definitely recommend booking a tour with this company and plan to use them again when I come back.”

“We booked very last minute, 30 minutes later their shuttle was picking us up - brilliant logistics. Loved the whole experience: pick up, drive there, refreshments at arrival, tour itself with an awesome guide. We opted for the fast smaller boat, worth every cent - lots of gators, fun & interesting. Highly recommended.”

“My family and I had a great time on this trip. The zipline trip was in the swamp and we went by shuttle. Rick was our guide and he pointed out all kinds of cool stuff on the way, even an eagle nest with two eagles! He was a super friendly guy and a great guide. I'd definitely recommend booking a tour with this company.”

“They were super friendly, offered ways to save money, and even provide transportation. Our swamp guide was awesome, took us up close and personal to gators. Definitely recommend!”

“Spooky and educational! A winning combo! The Adults Only French Quarter Tour kept me and my family enthralled for the duration! From the uplifting to downright horrifying, our guide kept us at the edge of the sidewalk (no seats here, all walking!). Must do if you are in Big Easy!”

“I have been on multiple swamp tours from other companies which I enjoyed. But this swamp tour with Gators and Ghosts was THE BEST! I felt so immersed into the beauty of nature and felt so free. Riding over the wetlands is such a treat. Do not second guess going, it is worth every penny.”

“We went in the small boat and it was amazing. Our captain is like the ice cream man to the gators. They hear him and come out. Guaranteed to see at least small gators on this tour. We saw a huge gator and a few mid sized as well as so many smaller ones. He told us all about their lives and the ecosystem. Highly recommend!”

“I had the pleasure of attending the adults only ghost and vampire tour during my time here in NOLA. I came solo and our guide (as well as everyone else in the group) made me feel extremely comfortable. She used the phrase "chosen family" and that is exactly how the duration of the tour felt. Like walking around with your family learning about the history and the culture of this magical place. She made sure to not only tell us the stories, but break down the history behind what we were seeing so we could understand it, but also kept it interesting enough so it did not feel like a boring school lesson.”

“Our guide was amazing for the no kids and no Karens history tour.”

“Our guide was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable and friendly. We researched several ghost tours before we decided on Wicked. Do it! You won't be disappointed!”

“We had a great tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and hilarious. Getting the exclusive tour of the Oddfellows Cemetery was well worth the price paid. Would do it all over again!”

“Our captain was excellent and we loved the adventure! We saw alligators, got rained on a bit (not the worst thing when it is 94 degrees out) and enjoyed some amazing scenery. Highly recommend!”

“We had a fun time hearing the stories on the adults Ghost tour. We saw so many beautiful buildings along the way as well.”

“The cemetery and ghost tour was so much fun, and our guide was awesome and knowledgeable. 100% recommend doing this tour before you leave Nola!”

“Booked a ghost tour in the French Quarter with Ghost & Vampire walking tour in the evening for my family and extended family. We all had a blast with Lenny as our tour guide. He was great and gave interesting stories of the folklore in the area. The tour is an affordable and fun experience, booking was easy, and the staff were all hospitable. Would go again.”

“My family and I booked this tour while in town for July 4th. It was great! Our guide knew so much about the local lore and took us to all the best spots. It moves at a good pace, and there's a halfway break at a local pub where you regroup. Great part of our New Orleans experience!”

“DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. I cannot believe how great the customer service is with this Gators and Ghost. We had a weather related issue that was resolved without issue. It is hard to find companies that are willing to go the extra mile to help you out.”

“We had an amazing time learning about the New Orleans bayou. We got to hear stories about the specific alligators and meet them in person. The boat was safe and the marshmallows plentiful. We will definitely come back and I highly recommend for the family.”

“Got to visit the 3rd week in October and was amazed at all the Gators we saw! Our guide was awesome & I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone! When we go back down I will absolutely be booking again!”

“We did a small air boat swamp tour and it was amazing!!!!! Would do this again in a heartbeat and very advisable to pay up for the smaller boat as we were right in the thick of things and even saw baby alligator nests! This was one of the best tours I have been on!”

“We had a great time!! The swamps were gorgeous this time of year and the guide was funny and informative! It was my husband and two teens. They said it was the best part of the trip!”

“Had a good time with lots of jokes and gritty details. Perfect for a first-time visitor and those unfamiliar with the history and local stories. Plus, no kids! A definite bonus.”

“Customer service was astounding. We had to make so many changes to our reservation that I was embarrassed. G & G was timely and professional throughout. 100% recommended!”

“Our captain found us a couple of gators despite the gray chilly weather when most of them were snuggled in the mud. He also found us hundreds of birds and one wild pig. Terrific morning.”

“I worked with Lenny to book tours for my company while we were in town for a conference. Lenny was amazing and accommodating. He helped me pick the right tours and even arranged transportation to the swamp!”

“Me and my son took the pontoon tour and our captain found lots and lots of gators. He was very knowledgeable and both entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour.”

“This gets you out of the city and they conveniently pick you up at your hotel. We enjoyed the Pontoon tour from start to finish. We learned a lot about the bayou, about alligators (got to see several), and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”

“We got a small private airboat for our family holidays (8 people including a 6yo), it was a fun time for adults and kid. Our captain and guide was great, knowledgeable and really lovely guy. Completely recommend.”

“Me and my family had a great time on our pontoon boat ride. First time traveling to New Orleans and not the last. If you are in the area and want to do something fun with the family I do recommend one of the many tours Gators and Ghosts has to offer.”

“I researched so many different swamp tours and finally settled on Gators and Ghosts. We paid a little more to get the smaller boat that holds 9 people and I think it was well worth it! We saw soo many alligators and our guide was so informative. I was shocked by how close they came up to our boat.”

“We took the covered pontoon boat. It was comfortable and spacious. I had 4 teenagers with me and they enjoyed it. We saw a lot of alligators and learned a lot about the bayou.”

“We took the pontoon boat tour since we had a 7, 5, and 1 year old with us. They did great and they loved the tour. It was the highlight of their trip - especially when they got to hold a baby alligator!”

“Thank you, Lenny, for your quick replies to my emails to get a last-minute tour set up over the Christmas weekend. Dino, our fun-loving driver, injected much laughter and storytelling into our 2-hour bus tour of the city.”

“Yah Yah Universe was an amazing tour guide. Her knowledge and personality made the whole tour.”

“We did the Ghosts and Vampire tour. This was a cool experience and a great way to see more of the French Quarter at night. I appreciate that this tour split up participants into smaller groups, rather than go on the tour as a singular group of 20+ people. It felt more intimate that way.”

“What a fun tour! We took the small boat tour and our captain was knowledgeable, hilarious, and brave as hell calling over the big gator! The weather was beautiful, the Spanish moss covered cypress trees lining the bayou was picturesque. I highly recommend and will do this airboat tour again if I ever make it back down to Louisiana!”

“Very much enjoyed Lenny's stories. He was very engaging and interesting.”

“Our tour guide, Lenny, was humorous and knowledgeable! Loved our experience. Would book again!”

“Lenny was very knowledgeable and helpful when booking the tour! Would definitely book again.”

“Lenny is awesome and clearly knows his stuff!”

“Lenny was great and helped us out, highly recommend him. He was very knowledgeable of all the sites and tours.”

“We did the Haunted City and Cemetery Bus Tour. It was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend! Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. We were lucky enough to visit the oldest cemetery in New Orleans and use equipment to detect the presence of ghosts. This one is not to be missed!”
