I travelled on the European Contrasts tour in May 2006 with my boyfriend. We had 5 couples on our tour. We all had a great time and did not have any hassles being that we were couples.
I'd never seen an alligator, and in the space of 2 hours, I got to see about 8 of them, hold one, and have one nearly come up onto the boat! The swamp guides are really informative as well. If you only do one optional, do this one!!
The lodge that was stayed in was beyond my expectations! Beautiful! Make sure you check out the lodge's hot tub (breathtaking view) and the ice bar!
