After reading about Tours by Isabelle from a travel guidebook, I found the website and reviewed which tours were available. We were curious about the damage experienced from Hurricane Katrina so we booked the Post Katrina tour.
We were picked up at our B&B by Diane, our guide. Within 30 minutes, we were joined by 9 other travelers. The van held about 12 people. The tour was $60 per person for 3.5 hours. During the tour, we stopped for a restroom break.
Very informative, extensive tour. It's amazing how much damage still exists three years after Hurricane Katrina hit. Diane provided maps of the affected area to include where the levees were breached. Also, she provided newspaper articles to emphasize several points during the tour. During the 3.5 hours, we toured the parishes which were hit hard by the flooding and parishes that were saved by functioning levees. Also, we toured the different levees which had been breached. We saw the efforts of reconstruction and areas which appear to have been forgotten about.
Once again, this is a very informative tour. Seeing both the effects of Hurricane Katrina three years after the disaster and the efforts to rebuild was a sobering experience.
