We were on the Big Red Boat Clifford. Our guide was excellent and very informative about the alligators and natural habitat we traveled through. He located several alligators along the way and told great stories about several of them that they have come to know by name. He also gave us a fun ride through the many tributaries of the swamp. I highly recommend this tour on a trip to New Orleans.
