The actual boat ride was awesome and the lunch was tasty. I only wish there were less people on the boat. It was almost impossible to stand near the water or be in a spot where we could hear the guide over the speaker. Overall I would purchase and take the trip again. We had a great time.

My husband and I had brought our two sons and their spouses to New Orleans for a birthday celebration. I thought the river cruise would be something fun to do in an afternoon, and it was. It more than exceeded my expectations. The music was great, the beverages were good, and we thoroughly enjoyed the informative narration as we cruised the river. If you are planning a trip to New Orleans, do not miss this river cruise. It is just the right amount of time and a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Don’t miss it if you’re a tourist in New Orleans.

Cruise was very informative and enjoyable. Lunch was just ok and even though I reserved second seating we were bumped to first seating which didn’t work for us since we ate breakfast and we were not informed until I noticed the printed tickets you get just before boarding. Would take just the cruise and skip lunch since there are many choices to buy once on board
