New Orleans hop on hop off bus

2.00Staff was great. Bus goes too fast to really see what they are trying to show you. Terrible high pitch sound coming from the bus that they could not stop. Does not come by every 25 minutes more like 45 to 60 minutes I do not recommend this activity
Always a must do!

4.00Great way to get a quick overview of the city, especially for first time visitors. Guide "No Line" Linda was funny & informative; driver Chyron (spelling?) do a great job too.
A must-do in New Orleans!

5.00OMG - SO RECOMMEND! Our adult family of four decided to purchase a 2-day pass after seeing a red bus pass us while walking on the street. For most of us, this was a first hop on/off bus tour experience, and it exceeded expectations. The loop is a perfect length, the guides are so full of information and genuinely seem to care, and the drivers are very safe. If you have time, I recommend riding the loop several times as each guide shares slightly different bits of knowledge, so we learned more every time. Shout out and thank you to Linda & Kiron, Jonathan & Lita, and Bill & Aisheh for sharing a wealth of knowledge and keeping us all entertained. The walking tours were also very informative, highly recommend! Big shout out to Paige for her kindness and great local lore. Would go again and recommend to everyone.
Good way to get a feel for New Orleans

4.00Took the Hop-On Hop-Off bus all the way around in order to determine where I would want to spend more time. Our guide was excellent. It rained while traveling and the bus provided ponchos.
Always a good choice

5.00I do a HO/HO in every city I go to to get a brief history as well as "the lay of the land" so I could plan accordingly. Tour guides were clear and kind and of course informative. A great way to get around to all the must-see attractions.
Nice tour of the city

4.00Logan and Gary made a great team as driver and tour guide. Got off and got on another bus and was not as much fun. Logan recommended a bunch of different places to go and things to try to where the other bus didn't.
Getting started was...

3.00Getting started was challenging. Being told stop 1,2, 4 or 5 is great but then there's no addresses locations to those numbers. So it was very hard to find bus stop to begin
