Louisiana Tour Company, based in Marrero, Louisiana, operates guided swamp and walking tours that showcase the region’s wildlife, history, and plantation heritage. The company offers a range of experiences including airboat swamp tours (small and large, pickup and drive-out), a narrated tourboat swamp trip with hotel pickup, a combined Afternoon Small Airboat Swamp Tour + Oak Alley Plantation, and 2-hour Haunted Ghost Tours in New Orleans. Airboat options include nine-passenger small boats powered by a Chevy engine that reach speeds up to 35 mph and larger airboats with stadium-style seating for up to 16 passengers. Tour formats include pickup from hotels near New Orleans and drive-out departures from Marrero, providing flexible access for visitors. Swamp tours emphasize close wildlife viewing—alligators and native birds—through areas inaccessible to traditional boats, while the Oak Alley portion includes a guided house tour plus time for self-guided exploration of the grounds. The narrated tourboat option features local captains who provide regional context and natural history on a comfortable, well-equipped boat roughly 35 minutes from New Orleans. Haunted Ghost Tours are led by Master Storytellers in small groups, focusing on historic and chilling narratives in the French Quarter. Louisiana Tour Company presents unscripted, locally led experiences that combine excitement, education, and cultural context, with options suitable for different group sizes and preferences. Pickup and drive-out options accommodate varied schedules, and the tours encourage photography and close-up wildlife observation in shallow water habitats. Reservations are available for groups and individual travelers seeking authentic regional experiences today.
