Creole Queen Cruise to battlefield

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Also after standing in line for 39 minutes in the sun, I reached the front of the line and was told I would have to go back to the booth and get a printed ticket as I had booked through Viator. I was frustrated but the tour guide walked back with me to get the ticket and then took me back to the front of the line. Great customer service. The return boat ride was pleasant and relaxing. Great cocktails too!
Nice afternoon tour while visiting NOLA.

They oversell the cruise so there was no seating left on the boat for many people. It's a long tour and would be terrible to stand the entire time so just got off before departure. Plus the boat is very rundown. The other Paddle Wheel Boat looks so much better so probably just book that one.
