This tour was good in that it takes you close to many areas you want to see such as Jackson Square, French Qtr., etc. It would be hard to pleas everyone, but for the most part you are hitting the highlights.

We enjoyed our "rides" on the Hop On Hop Off buses. They were crowded because it rained a lot. We used them for transportation around the city after our initial "get acquainted" ride.

Even it was a bit cold and windy in December, the Hop On, Hop Off bus was a great way to see New Orleans. The stops we made and "Hopped off" were worth our time and the bus was always there when it said it would to pick up us. Park the car and "Hop on".

Our guide was a little brash. It appeared she knew what she was talking about but not a real people person.

Do this on your first day in town. Ride the full two hour cycle and then start over, hopping off and on wherever you want to spend time.

This is such a great way to get around the City. You learn so much with each area that you go to. The only downfall that i see is that the buses dont seem to be all that reliable. Spend alot of time waiting. Great way to get around thoiugh.

Great way to see the city. Daniel and Maddie were amazing and super helpful. Learned a lot and loved seeing all the sights. Wish the buses ran longer (basically 9:30 to 3:30) didn't have time to enjoy the walking tours and had a hard time getting back on the bus after doing other tours I booked.
