Excellent program. Well described in the literature. Consider the typical weather for the time of year you plan to visit Louisiana as we experienced tornado warnings for the area, but luckily they missed us with only rain and high winds on one day which necessitated a change in plans since the bus could not take us into an area with tornado warnings. Had a great time anyway.

Run dont walk, or perhaps better to say, Dance your way on over to this delightful and informative celebration of all things Louisiana. What a great way to learn about our nation's history and Cajun, Creole, Houma, Chitimacha, and New Orlean's cultures! The perfect pblend of expereinces, music, food, and great local people.

Although I live "right next door" in Texas and have been to northern Louisiana many times, I had little insight into the unique culture of the Creole and Cajun areas of the state. This program was really eye-opening and fun, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I encourage you to take the Cuisine & Culture in Acadiana Louisiana trip. You'll learn so much about Cajun, Creole, Native American and African American cultures in Louisiana - plus see bayous and swamps to boot. I really enjoyed this trip.

Immersive travel through the sugar cane fields and bayous of Southern Louisiana to meet the diverse ethnic peoples who made this colorful tapesty on the land. Each shared their foods, music, festivals and language to make a awesome gumbo of Creole and Cajun culture.

This trip exceeded our expectations. The museums, outdoor activities, historic sites, and nature combined into a comprehensive 8 days of culinary and cultural education. The hospitality of local residents enhances our experience as we traveled the SE part of Louisiana. Our bus driver was also amazing.

Great Program. You will learn about the vast and diverse history of the Acadian culture and how this history shaped the people of this part of the USA.
