Aside from the weather, the trip was super...leader was great...informed and caring. Love the small size trips..met some lovely people...great sights and food, except for dinner at Antoine’s which was bad. Hotels were very good, including the Plantation. Sightseeing great and enough free time. Tracing with Tauck again next year.
Most Memorable Moment:
By far...the concert at Preservation Hall...and the flightseeing.
This was our 12th trip with Tauck. We had a wonderful tour director. We understand the reason behind staying at the Hotel Monteleone, being location, but the rooms have no counter space in the room or bathroom. Staff wonderful!! We liked the Nottoway rooms and bathroom, but no bathrobes. Ritz Carlton was great! Our driver was great!
Most Memorable Moment:
Flying in the small plane for the overview of the New Orleans area. We also loved the swamp tour. Our guide was excellent. Our local guide was great telling about New Orleans. We're back in March for the Event in New Orleans. So many great restaurants!
