5.00It was a great way to see the city as a whole. It would be really hard to do a walking tour of all the areas that they took us to. The bus is air-conditioned, which is really nice. Our guide Wes was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We were able to hear everything clearly and he was a wealth of information. There is a private tour of through Oddfellows cemetery. They also stop at a beignet . We really enjoyed this tour.
Couldn’t understand very much, so didn’t enjoy it

5.00Because the tour guide is not driving, you have their complete attention to point out interesting spots and bits of history. Our tour guide was well informed, kept our attention and the 2.5 hour tour went by very quickly but never felt rushed. We traveled thru many parts of town. The bus was compact, clean and air-conditioned. The stops at the cemetery and city park were interesting and delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Great tour, excellent tour guide!

5.00Sean was a great tour guide! His anecdotes totally enhanced our experience. Very accommodating as well. I'm glad we took this tour, as it was pouring rain, and we still got to see the city! A great way to get the lay of the land.

5.00Our tour guide and driver were very good at their jobs, and the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and how that led to its current culture. The stop to walk into one of cemeteries allowed us to see examples of the burial practices she described. We stopped for biegnets--they were delicious! Highly recommend this tour!
Good basic tour.

5.00Started our first day of a four-day visit to New Orleans with a two-hour bus ride all around the city. It provided a great overview to kick-start our stay. Our tour guide was Cynthia, who was engaging, informative and lots of fun. Very easy to wholeheartedly recommend.
