Crescent City Tours is helmed by veteran New Orleans guide Brian Webber, whose infectious laugh and deep local roots turn every plantation or swamp outing into a living story. Guiding since 2004, Brian has built a close-knit team ...
The guides here really make the experience, with Brian, Larry (aka "Bam Bam"), and Dennis getting enthusiastic shout-outs for their infectious humor, deep knowledge of New Orleans history, and ability to keep groups entertained during longer drives to plantations. People consistently mention how these drivers go beyond just transportation, offering genuine education and recommendations that enhance the entire day. The company also shows flexibility, like accommodating late pickups and even helping guests connect with other operators when they're fully booked. Most travelers book the combination plantation and swamp tours, with Whitney Plantation being especially popular for its focus on slavery history. The logistics run smoothly, with prompt hotel pickups and well-coordinated timing between multiple stops. One guest mentioned feeling excluded by a guide at a restaurant stop, though this appears isolated among otherwise glowing feedback. Overall, expect a long but worthwhile day packed with learning, plenty of laughs from your driver, and face-to-face encounters with Louisiana alligators that people call "insane" in the best way possible.
We took the Laura and Whitney Plantation tours last Monday. Both were phenomenal! Transportation was a breeze. Brian was fun, energetic and helpful. Our big bus driver shared many stories from history of the area to the heartaches of the Katrina devastation. I found all of it fascinating, moving, and heartbreaking. Thank you Crescent City Tours for wonderful day and hospitable day. :)
