5.00The sightseeing bus is such a great way to see the city and learn a lot of history-- would highly recommend! In our case we had 1 day to spend in New Orleans, and we got to see everything on our list.

3.00Make sure you read the whole description because at the very bottom it stated that certain stops were closed due to the festival. They should have mentioned that at the beginning and not at the very bottom like it was fine print. It was too late to cancel because I signed up in less than 24 hours.

4.00You can get on and off the bus all day. The full tour lasts 1h30, unfortunately the comments are only in English. It's a nice visit but a little expensive I think
Best New Orleans tour guide duo

5.00Scott and Danell made our sightseeing tour an unforgettable and fun-filled day. Scott’s knowledge of the city was impressive, and his entertaining stories kept the entire bus laughing throughout the trip. Enjoy the bag of Aunt Sally’s pralines we left on the bus! Highly recommend this team!
A must do for anyone new to New Orleans! ❤️

4.00Loved the Tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and had many corny jokes. The App to track the Buses may not always be reliable. Told us 35 min until next Bus. We had eaten and weren’t in a busy part of town, so we called an Uber. 3 minutes later, here’s the Bus. We would’ve continued the tour had the App been correct. However, everyone should take this tour. Also a great way to get around! Learned lots!
