Great, informative tour of New Orleans. Ellroy and Logan did a fantastic job! I love that you can hop on or off and any of the 18 stops during the 1.5 hour tour.

Great way to get a layout of the city and later follow up with areas that interest you. A lot of fun facts and history was shared.

We loved riding on the bus and getting to hear about all the architecture and other stories as we were passing by buildings and statues, etc. it’s a wonderful concept to be able to hop off at whichever stop that you want and explore and get back on a bus. However, the time it takes to go through all of the stops in order to get back to our car in a timely manner was unpredictable especially at 5 PM with trafffic therefore we had to take an Uber to get back to the station where we were parked. I would do this again and recommend it to friends. Just plan your time wisely if you have something you need to get to at the end of your day.

It’s a great way to see the city! Tour guides were very informative. Have used the same service in other cities and I would highly recommend it.
