About Premium Tours

Premium Tours is a New Orleans–based operator offering a focused mix of high-adrenaline, historic, culinary, and game-day experiences across South Louisiana.

The company organizes airboat swamp tours (including a 90-minute airboat option), full-auto machine-gun shooting sessions, two-plantation private tours with options for a three-course lunch at the Oak Alley Restaurant, and brewery tours that visit multiple local breweries. Many offerings include hotel pick-up or private transportation options—ranging from chauffeured vehicles for plantation days to luxury coaches for LSU game-day trips.

Shooting experiences supply ammunition, pre-loaded magazines, and eye and ear protection, and feature certified instruction; participants must be 21+ where required. Private and large-boat swamp options, as well as small-boat choices, accommodate different group sizes and preferences. The operator also runs Baton Rouge Blitz game-day transportation with coaches that include onboard bathrooms and space for coolers, departing about five hours before kickoff and returning roughly one hour after the game.

Premium Tours emphasizes customization through selectable plantation stops, private-tour upgrades, multiple start-time options for brewery experiences, and combination itineraries that pair shooting with swamp tours. Professional guides and instructors staff boats and shooting sessions, and transportation is offered with many experiences for convenient departures from New Orleans.
