Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our Tour Bus Driver Bryon was amazing and kept us laughing and informed of things around us! Great trip at both plantation and small airboat ride with Brandon.

Read to the end please and read the other reviews. Firstly this review is for this particular tour company... the plantation in itself is something everyone should visit but I can not recommend this tour company! There are other companies that offer tours with transportation which can be found via TripAdvisor.

I wish I had read the other reviews because it wasn't explained in the event description that it was going to be an audio self guided tour and not with a tour guide. But the audio ended up being okay but not as engaging and kind of hard to follow / hear.

The bus was also full as they combined several tours together "to save on gas" as Brian said but this means there are lots of stops and that a 2 hour tour ends up taking all day. I also felt rushed to get through each section and didn't feel like I really had time to sit with history and what we were learning.

ALL OF THIS WOULD HAPPY BEEN FINE HAD I NOT BEEN LEFT BEHIND!!! Please see my attached screenshot. We were supposed to be back at the bus for noon, and I knew that so I told one of the front desk employees that I was going to the bathroom and that I'd be right back. I come out less than 10 minutes later and the bus and my whole group has left. I check my phone and I have no missed calls only a text from Brian, the bus driver, saying that he'll come back for me at 12:45 but that he has to continue the tour! I can not describe the sheer panic I felt when realizing that a tour company had left me behind. I was over an hour outside the city and all alone as a single woman traveling. I've been on many guided tours and this has never happened to me before. In fact even that very morning Brian waited on several guests at their hotels delaying the whole group but when I was in the bathroom for less than 10 minutes he left me without a call. Brian continued on with the tour and went to other stops meaning I missed out on lunch and those stops. He did eventually come back for me, AFTER 1PM and after I had called the main office for the tour company to explain what had happened. Never again will I book with this company. They had no regard for my safety when leaving me behind and THEY DIDN'T EVEN CALL!?!?! This whole situation left me baffled and so scared.

Again the plantation in itself is certainly worth the visit but not with this tour company!!

As the owner of Crescent City Tours, it breaks my heart to get these kinds of reviews. But this particular day We had 22 people on the tour. Everyone was ready at the appropriate time except for you. We are one of the few companies in the entire city of New Orleans that does a combination of tours. It clearly states that we come and pick you up for 11:45 AM to take you to see other plantations and for a bite to eat none of this stuff in which we have to do anyway. But we can’t hold up the entire tour experience because one person is late. We clearly stated that the tour depart at 11:45 if you were in the bathroom for 10 minutes and you came out at 12:10 that is far too late. we will schedule to leave at 11:45 AM and we left at 12:06 PM. We gave you more than enough time to get to the bus. Also, you were told at the front desk that the driver would return for you. So if you were panicked, I have no clue where that comes from. Also, you were in constant communication with the driver which communicated to you that he would return for you. We’re not a company by any means that does not hold ourselves accountable if we drop the ball. But we did nothing wrong. On the same day of this tour, we have multiple five star reviews. I don’t know what else we could have done for you. But at the end of the day, it is disheartening that you did not get the experience you desire, because at the end of the day, that is our goal. We have been successfully doing these tours for over 33 years. And we cannot change our policies because some of our guests elects to not follow our instructions. It’s really an unfortunate case. Now, for people that want to go at their own pace, and have everything custom to their liking, we can also provide that experience with our Private Tours. But when you do group tours, you have to follow specific instructions of the driver.

Brian was a super friendly and charismatic guide - and that laugh is one of a kind! He was knowledgeable and so helpful with recommendations. The Whitney Plantation and Airboat Swamp Tour was very enjoyable, and Crescent City made getting there and back a breeze.

This is one of the only companies to combine attractions and at competitive rates. The Whitney Plantation is the first museum of slavery in the U.S. it has deservedly received much praise and media attention. I have always wanted to do an airboat tour and was not disappointed. This company take you through genuine swamps and the guides are very informative.

Very disappointing. Albeit the front entrance way with all the oak trees is indeed beautiful, the rest of the exhibit is all redone. Hardly anything original in the main house and everything outside is redone.. Even if they charged half it would still be a tourist trap.

The tour starts out with the Whitney plantation which is a very eye opening experience. Very informative. Next is the swamp tour through Rajun Cajun tours which was a fun adventure! The airboat is loud but they give you earmuffs for that.
There is a quick stop at Oak Alley Plantation for you to grab a bite to eat and a gift shop.
Crescent City Tours made this tour very smooth! Got picked up in the morning at hotel by Brian (who is absolutely hilarious) and then he drove us to Whitney. Brian really made this experience even better than expected!

Amazing history. I did not know about these enslaved revolts. I thought the self guided tour was excellent.

Well organised visit. Enjoyed seeing the countryside around New Orleans. Whitney Plantation was informative and moving- a must do. Stopped at Oak Valley Plantation cafe for really tasty lunch but was pleased we had chosen Whitney as our focus.
On to the swamp tour- great fun- saw alligators, so many water birds, fish and a turtle. Informative guide. Arrived back at hotel 4.15- 8 hours after pick up.
My only reservation about the day was that I chose this tour based on excellent reviews about Crescent City tours and Brian’s commentary- we had Raging Cajun transportation all day- prompt and organised but no commentary at all- not even a welcome onto the bus so people need to be aware that this might be the case.

Decided to take a solo trip to New Orleans, and it was also my visit time visiting the city. I called Crescent City Tours not once, but twice, to confirm my pickup location since I was unfamiliar with the city and didn't want to miss my ride. I spoke with Brian both times and he was so kind, patient, and informative. Little did I know this guy was going to be a hoot! He picked up right on time and even remembered my name. I've never seen someone so happy and comical at 8am! It was about a 50 min drive to the planation and he provided us with information about the city, as well as some personal (hilarious) stories! The plantation tour itself was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I loved that it an audio, self guided tour so I could take my time. I'm not an emotional person but I was in tears at the end of this tour. If you do anything while visiting NOLA, do this tour. You will not regret it. I will be booking the swamp tour the next time I visit, and I hope I get to see Brian. This man is a gem and he made my trip so enjoyable!!
