    The guides here absolutely steal the show. Captain Dewey gets rave reviews for knowing exactly where to find gators and having names for each one, while Captain Ernie stands out for his storytelling and making guests comfortable around alligators. Kenny and Captain Bebop also earn enthusiastic shoutouts for their humor and deep knowledge of the swamp ecosystem. The pattern is clear: these aren't just boat drivers, they're passionate locals who genuinely love what they do. Expect to see plenty of alligators even during cooler months, and you'll likely get hands-on time holding a young gator. Reviewers consistently mention learning fascinating details about bayou wildlife and the local ecosystem. The logistics run smoothly too, with reliable pickup and drop-off service. Multiple visitors call this the highlight of their New Orleans trip, which says a lot considering the competition in that city. The combination of knowledgeable guides, wildlife sightings, and an authentic swamp experience makes this a winner for families and couples alike.

    My hubby and I had a fantastic tour with Captain Dewey this afternoon! We thoroughly enjoyed it, learned quite a few new things about alligators and had a smooth pickup and drop off by our driver, Todd! Highly recommend this particular tour company! 🐊❤️🐊❤️🐊
