What an experience it was! Can’t be more thankful for that.If you are looking for a real experience and authentic tour, Ronnie is definitely the guide you should go with. We went deep in the bayou Benoit, learning about so many things like the vegetation, the animals that live there, crawfish traps, the way people are living there and more. It really felt like a break from our daily lives.Dont be afraid of the 2 hours drive if you are located in New Orleans, it definitely worth it and the road is pretty enjoyable.PS: Ronnie, the Asian Carp incident is already a classic diner story! ?

What a great meeting. It was great, thank you Ronnie for sharing this great moment with us, it was really extraordinary. Honestly, if you have a trip to do in the bayous, don't hesitate, you have to do it with Ronnie, he's certainly the best. And a little thought for his mother who we had the opportunity to speak on the phone who is also adorable.

Ronnie Briscoe with River of Swamps is an excellent guide through the bayou and swamps of southwest Louisiana. His boat is quiet and in great condition. You will really get into the depth of the Atchafalaya River basin. His knowledge and love of the water are very special. Highly recommend his tour.

If you’re looking for a unique, informative and fun swamp tour experience Captain Ronnie is the best choice around. I had an amazing time seeing parts of the Atchafalaya Basin most visitors don’t get to see. Being able to chat with Ronnie ahead of time to personalize my tour was an added bonus. Ronnie’s passionate about the place he calls home and I appreciated him sharing it with me. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Louisiana.

The highlight of our Louisiana trip! The swamp tour was beautiful and Captain Ronnie made it fun and informative. He took the time to listen what we were looking for and delivered. I was impressed with his knowledge of the area and his passion for the outdoors. My mind was ease for our safety as he is credentialed as a USCG Captain. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

if you are looking for an exclusive tour in the swamps, I highly recommend Ronnie. We were searching for a small tour (max 6 pers.), a local guide, one that really takes you in the small canals (which I cannot believe this is possible with the bigger boats). Ronnie knows the swamps like the back of his hands and gave great background info. Thanks a lot Ronnie for the amazing tour.

GREAT tour. Best swamp tour ever. Ronnie went the extra mile to get us deep into the area eventhough the water level was low.Thanks for all the knowledge about the area and sharing your stories about hunting, fishing, food and so on.

WOW, what an experience! We visited Louisiana and wanted an "authentic" swamp experience. On a previous trip we had taken a more commercial tour and enjoyed it but it was limited on schedule and location.Ronnie gave us a tour that exceeded our expectations. First, the overall travel distance was about 30 miles and we saw an incredible amount of wildlife including ibis, blue heron, spoon bills, an owl, many, many alligators. The asian carp were jumping all around the boat. Secondly, Ronnie is a local and really knows his facts on hunting, trapping, and fishing. He is a true Louisiana outdoorsman. If you go into the swamp, Ronnie is the guy to go with. He knows the names of the plants and animals. He explained the fishing techniques and showed examples crawfish traps and how they are used. For those who may be concerned about safety. He is a true professional with the appropriate safety gear onboard. We never felt unsafe or reckless. Very good tour. Thank you Ronnie!!

We've been on multiple LA swamp tours in the past and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Bayou Benoit with Ronnie this time. He showed us his favourite spots, answered all our questions and was not in a rush. During our trip we spotted many gators in different sizes and a very large variety of birds. Perhaps the most new to us were all the Asian carp that jumped out of the water, and one in the boat even! Quite spectacular if you've never witnessed it before. If you're interested in a laid-back tour in the heart of Atchafalaya with a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, we highly recommend River of Swamps!

The tour is a three hour long true Bayou experience. You get to observe the environment and wildlife closely from a quiet small boat. Ronnie is a very kind person, a true local Bayou expert and enthusiast. He will take you around the Atchafalaya basin for a truly unforgettable experience.

We had a great personal tour of the bayou and swamp. Ronnie is an excellent guide, allowing us to see as much as possible. He stopped for photos, explained birds and plants, and we saw jumping fish. Beautiful area. Would recommend to all, families and adults.

If you want a great tour of the swamp where you don't feel like just a number look no further than a tour with Ronnie of River of Swamps Boat Tours. He was very knowledgeable and spent lots of time showing us the many interesting and beautiful things about the swamp. River of Swamps gets my highest recommendation. Thanks for an awesome time.
