Customer Testimonials

★★★★★
"After dinner, Jimmy picked a group of us (14) up promptly on time to go bowling. This was the perfect alternative to a few DDs/cabs. Jimmy even let us play our own music on the ride, which was a lot of fun! I’d definitely recommend them for a tour or private transportation – great people and prices!"

★★★★★
"We had a great experience on our chartered trip to the Global WIldlife Center. It was a bit of a drive so the comfy bus was much appreciated. The bus is new, clean and has good AC! Our driver Jimmy was professional but friendly – a really great host. Highly recommended!"
Damon M.
★★★★★
"I used Premium Transportation again for a night out with friends. We went to White Linen night in the Warehouse District. Jimmy picked us up promptly, dropped us off, and picked us back up when we were ready to leave. It was extremely convenient. The vehicle was clean and comfortable as usual."

★★★★★
"We had a private boat tour with 8 friends and it was fantastic! Our captain, Dylan was knowledgeable and hilarious, he even recommended a cool restaurant Zydeco, where we had a great lunch after! We saw some gators up close, the boat ride was fun and transportation they set up was smooth! Highly recommend these guys, it was a highlight of our visit!"
Kelsey F.
★★★★★
"An amazing tour! I highly recommend the fan boat swamp tour. Our group of 11 had a wonderful time - not only is it informational but the setting is beautiful and the boat is SO MUCH FUN! We were able to supply our own drinks and I can’t recommend including transportation to and from your hotel as they make it so easy and the bus was very comfortable. If you are looking for a swamp tour during your stay in or around Nola, this is it!"

★★★★★
"I used Premium Tours for private transportation for a group of 11 to several different events. Patrick was excellent in helping me plan. He ensured things ran smoothly, answered questions quickly and even followed up the next day to make sure everything went well. Our driver, Jimmy Joseph, went above and beyond the call of duty. When we finished an hour early at one event, he gave us an impromptu city tour on our way to the next event. I could not be more pleased with their services and would definitely use Premium Tours again!"

★★★★★
"Great service. The driver we had Jimmy was a walking encyclopedia of New Orleans history. Highly recommend."

★★★★★
"We recently took a Premium Swamp Tour, guided by Lauren, and it was an experience like no other! Lauren, an exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging guide, led us through the mysterious beauty of the swamp with expertise and enthusiasm. His insights into the wildlife and history of the area made the tour thrilling and informative. The boat was top-notch, and the entire adventure felt personalized and unique. I wholeheartedly recommend Premium Swamp Tours, and don't miss the chance to explore with Lauren. Five stars!"

★★★★★
"Our tour guide ( Sean) made every stop feel like we were hanging out with friends. I would recommend doing this to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle of the city and try something different."
Erica J.
★★★★★
"If you like craft beer, you should for sure take this tour! We got picked up from our hotel and driven around in a nice luxury van with the best guide, Shawn! Oh, and you get lots of beer (4 full glasses and samples in less than 3 hours)! Shawn was extremely professional but, in a fun, laid back manor which caused the three of us talk the entire time. The other unique thing about this tour was that we got to pick the beers we wanted to sample or get as a full glass. My husband loves stouts and porters, so he was in heaven sampling all the unique flavors instead of being forced to have an lager or blonde ale. I highly recommend this tour."

★★★★★
"Oak Alley like one of those rich plantation homes you see in movies such as Gone with the Wind, absolutely loved it. Laura plantation is somewhere everyone should visit, to see and hear what those poor slaves went through and how they were treated ( which we already had a good idea of) but to read the actual stories told by the slaves themselves, acquired by authentic research and interviews was truely heartbreaking, these were real people just like us. God Bless them all."
Tracy B.
★★★★★
"I booked this tour prior to our trip to NOLA as a birthday present for my husband. He's the beer drinker, not me. We both had an amazing time. We were picked up promptly by Shawn at our hotel. We were the only pickup. Shawn was personable and chock full of information for us (not just about the tour, but NOLA in general. We toured 3 different breweries and got to pick out own beer flavors. As a non beer drinker, all three breweries had beers that I enjoyed. Of course, my husband loved them all. I highly recommend this tour for beer drinkers and non beer drinkers alike. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Patrick who booked the tour for me by phone and to Shawn for a truly enjoyable afternoon!!"
