Good booking option and description overall.

Thank you for the notes on both booking process and overall promotion.

Good booking

It was very nice...just wish there was more interior sitting  area and more music less commentary... overall enjoyed myself very much

The narration, music, and comfortable seating is what the NATCHEZ offers to make our guests feel at home

Nachez dinner cruise

We enjoyed

My husband and I had a very nice time on the cruise. The views were beautiful, the music was lively, the ride was smooth and the staff ran everything smoothly and on time. we ate on the cruise. The food was ok. Basic, nothing fabulous. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves. My only tiniest issue was that it is very crowded. People found a seat and parked it in the same spot all night. But thats nothing against the cruise. It is an experience I would definitely recommend trying out.

Judith we are delighted to hear your review.   We appreciate it very much and hope you will return.

Fun Time!

Food good. Atmosphere was great. Seating was below par. Private party on second level...masks not seen.no where to really sit and enjoy after dinner.

Usually a number of tables & chairs on the 3rd deck or the rooftop.  Our staff must be masked per the city guidelines and people are once again asked to leave their masks unless seated dining or drinking.  Our staff reminds people they spot walking around without one.  Our apology if you did not locate the seating you desired after dinner.

Dinner cruise

Very easy & convenient booking process. Friendly agents. Will definitely be using TripShock again in the future!
We truly enjoyed our cruise & the dinner was absolutely delicious! A great way to end our visit to New Orleans!

Loved It! A Must Do!

My husband and I booked this cruise and we were so pleased with it. Very romantic, friendly people, really clean and organized.  And OMG, the food! We had the best Seafood pasta we've ever had! We had a blast.

Belinda,  It was a delight to have  you aboard.  Thank you for cruising with us.

So worth it!

Amazing tour with our guide “Tic-Tok” we saw a lot of gators and he passed on some good info about the swamp. We had a great time.

We are delighted to share  your review with the Guide and the Captain.

Tour was well coordinated plenty of time at oak alley didn’t feel rushed could enjoy the property before heading to the swamp. Swamp tour was a fun afternoon with Reggie as our captain.

Oak Alley/swamp tour

We were a group of 8, and we all give this tour 5 stars.  We were glad that we were on the slow boat in the swamp, because the airboat scares the alligators and birds away.

Oak Alley Plantation is beautiful, especially the grounds and gorgeous trees!

Fun Day

Both locations provided a lot of historical information. The time alotted at both was more than enough to take in the sights and surroundings.

Nice cruise fun and relaxing food was good will do again!!

Nice

The boat ride was very relaxing. The food was great. The bartender down stairs was trying to mislead us and cost us more money.

I will stay there again and tell others

Well, for starters.. it’s a beautiful idea for us tourists folks. The food and the southern hospitality was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! The staff wore masks. They were kind and sweet. The food was bomb. I actually came for the food. The view was beautiful. STORY TIME: We came to NOLA for my baby sisters 21st birthday. As we were coming back from the stop that we had made, my sisters RED champion bucket hat flew off her head. We were sitting on the very top floor all the way in the back. As it flew off, we tried to catch it but unfortunately it flew over board. As we run to go see where the hat went. It had found its way on the ledge of the back of the boat, while in motion the hat was just chilling. We prayed and hoped that it wouldn’t fall off. We get back to the dock or the port where we got on at, and Thank God the hat was still there. I asked The host (the guy over the intercom) to ask if anyone could please get my sisters hat. My sister got a chance to speak with the captain, who was very sweet and adamant about getting her hat. A few minutes later before we were able to safely get off the boat, there was a guy, an older gentleman, that saved the day. We forgot to get his name. But if you’re seeing this.. THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH for saving my sisters 21st birthday!!!!!  Everyone clapped and cheered as she had the red at in her hand. Thank you for everyone that was involved. The awesome people that were there helping us and making sure that the hat stayed right where it was supposed to be. Everyone!!! AWESOME 5 STARS !!!!!

Cemetery tour

There are so many tours going on an once that it really takes away from the creep factor. Kendall had good stories, but he added way too many unimportant details and lost my attention. However, I got A LOT of pics with orbs, and even some with figures!

Too crowded, but a fun experience

Our tour guide was Fernando. He was energetic and knowledgeable. We had a group of 7 of us from Orlando and he took time to get to know us a bit. He does speak very fast which was a bit difficult at times. But that would not stop me from having him again as my tour guide if I were to go again. I highly recommend the night time cemetery tour and will tell my friends to take it when they are in New Orleans.

Fun and entertaining

Tourist

Our tour guide was Jonathon and our mule was Blondie.  They were both amazing!  We decided to splurge on the carriage ride and we are so happy that we did!  You can bring drinks and relax while you take the tour.  It was nice to take a break from walking and we got to see a lot of cool parts of the quarter that we wouldn't have otherwise seen.  JOnathon was very informative and a great story teller.  Our kids loved him! Would highly recommend!
