Jessie brought me and my friend on a great tour of Bayou St John. He gave a thorough tour both on a historical and environmental aspect. Exploring the bayou was great. His speeches were very enjoyable and questions well received.
– Alex N., TripAdvisorJesse is full of great knowledge about Bayou St. John. He takes you on relaxing, easy paddle, stopping at several spots to enjoy the wonderful historical houses or giant live oaks. We saw lots of turtles and herons. I highly recommend this tour for any one taking a visit to New Orleans.
– Anna D., TripAdvisorWe had a fantastic time on our tour with Jesse. Bayou St. John offers beautiful views of Mid-city and lots of cypress and live oak trees. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and how the bayou contributed to the economic birth of New Orleans.
– Jennifer J., TripAdvisorThis was a really great tour of a place I had no idea existed or was so essential to the development of New Orleans! It's a generally easy kayak experience, and two of our group had never kayaked before, so it's definitely open to all skill levels.
– Brahm V., TripAdvisorJesse was a great tour guide with interesting facts about NOLA to share. And of course, kayaking and being on the water was great. Not too strenuous, beautiful day, and a unique way to see the city.
