3.00Good tour - great way to see the city. The tours and busses will not stop or wait if they do not see you. Get to the tour or location early so you don’t miss.

Hopping On and Off in New Orleans

4.00Included in the 2 day tickets is an option to do free guided walking tours in the French Quarter and the Garden District, so giddy value for money. We only did the Garden District walk but it was great. A friendly, jovial, interesting and very knowledgeable guide. The guide on the Hop On / Off tours were full of interesting facts about NO and interspersed the information with personal stories. Saw lots of places we didn't know about.
Great way to see the city

5.00Great way to get around. 90 minutes of seeing NOLA with fun input from the guides. Logan was very informative and fun. Colin led a great Garden District tour and gave us some good insights into the beautiful part of town.
Encourage you to hop on and off!!

3.00We had a two-day unlimited pass to be used on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday we had no delays. Buses were running about 15-20 minutes apart. For Wednesday, according to the live app 5 buses were running. Each buses were full in the early afternoons so we had to wait until the 2nd bus arrived. One elderly couple had the wife on a scooter. They had to wait for the third bus to get on because there was no room for her scooter. My husband had to call regarding the lengthy wait (1 hour wait) and another bus came to pick up our group. We did attend the Garden District tour on Wednesday and our guide, Paige, was outstanding. Great personality and very knowledgeable.
Waiting, waiting waiting.

5.00We had the 2-day ticket with the walking tour. It was perfect for the six of us learning new places. The walking tour guide, Colin, was THE best, funny and authentic.
