Good info
Lisa_B, May 2022
The tour was very good. It gave good info and covered a lot of area. The only thing was knowing what each stop offered and where exactly the stops were. They could improve on that info. It was very good once on-board.
Nice to use for transportation around the city
LisaS, May 2022
We enjoyed the sightseeing aspect of the bus ride and ability to hop off and on as needed. Some of the guides were difficult to understand, due to the intercom or talking in choppy sentences.
Great way to see New Orleans
Christine_D, May 2022
Great way to see all of New Orleans. Great tour guide letting you know the history of all the different sections. Double decker bus gave us a great view of everything.
Friendly and informative,...

NOLA visit
Jonathan_M, May 2022
Great tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, Including giving the group a few recommendations for night life on Frenchman St, which we took him up on.
Definitely the tour to do while visiting NOLA.
The tour guide was great....
Thomas_D, May 2022
The tour guide was great. It was to bad that because of the French quarter festival some stops were unavailable.
Not worth your time or money
mamata_s, Apr 2022
Bad idea since you have to wait for the bus for 30 mins and bus is always full, no space for you to hop on ! Plus they say cancel is for refund but won’t refund. You have to call your credit card to get your money back.
DONT DO IT, STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!
Loved all the stories...
Karen_M, Apr 2022
Loved all the stories from the guides. Enjoyed seeing all the sites. Enjoyed the ability to get on and off.
