Dr Lauren’s commentary along the way was fantastic. Very informative and funny too. Loved the sights along the way as well as sitting in the Queens room where you could close your eyes, listen to the music and imagine the days gone by

It was ok. Nice to be on a ferry but was a little high for the trip down river. Drinks and food is very expensive

This was a very nice tour. We were able to relax while cruising down the Mississippi to the Chalmette Battlefield site. Hearing the history of the area made the cruise educational. I would go on this cruise again but maybe for the Jazz Dinner Cruise next time.

A very nice and scenic trip with a wonderful and entertaining historical narrative along the way. Charles was such a great storyteller! We learned a lot and enjoyed spending a couple of hours on the river and at the battlefield.

It's a great way to cook off and learn about the history of New Orleans. The battlefield has a good visitor center.

Not much. Food was ok, but no live jazz band that tour description and email confirmation stated would be included. The 1 hr stop at this visitor center where there is a Eurocentric museum, was too long and uneccesary. Go somewhere else for a river tour

A Fantastic & interesting trip down the Mississippi. Lovely paddle steamer, clean, lots of seating on all decks, bar selling alcohol and soft drinks. Charlie chestnut was our tour guide who was so knowledgable without being boring and really helped make the trip so enjoyable. Lots to see and hear about. Well worth the money and would highly recommend.

Most enjoyable trip down the Mississippi. Charles, the narrator for the trip was fabulous. Learned a great deal about the Battle of New Orleans and the Katrina hurricane and aftermath. Well done.

We really enjoyed the tour. Great view of the New Orleans skyline. Perfect for taking photos. Relaxing tour with lots of interesting information from the tour guide. Drinks on board, and we had also booked a meal, which was served buffet style and was excellent. A really nice, albeit short trip (2.5 hours), on the Mississippi - wonderful!
