Very informative and knowledgeable. The driver had so much information to share. I would recommend taking this tour when you first get here.

It was a very interesting tour. It took us all around New Orleans. We learned about some history a lot about Katrina and the damage and some highlights of the city in general.

This was our first time to New Orleans. We loved it. Our guide named Joe was born and raised in New Orleans. He has seen a lot and he was very thorough in showing us every bit of New Orleans.. He was fantastic. We would take this tour again. Thanks so much.😊

We toured with Joe this past week. He was so knowledgeable and agreeable to all our questions and requests. This was the only affordable tour we could find that would pick us up and drop us off at our hotel, and that made all the difference! We had plenty of energy left over for all our night time activities. We learned so much and discovered the places that we really want to return to later during our trip. Thank you, Joe for your help with our adventures.

Tour was better than I expected. Bob was a great guide who was very knowledgeable and took his time answering group questions. I would encourage company to send out a text about pickup vehicle and name of guide as there were so many different buses stopping at our hotel.

We took the "City Tour of New Orleans" on the morning of April 16, 2026 with Joseph, our driver and tour guide. He did an excellent job describing New Orleans during the three hour tour - the cemetery, Hurricane Katrina's impacts on the City, the levees, the houses along St. Charles Street and other interesting sites. Joseph's knowledge of New Orleans and the surrounding areas was amazing. I highly recommend this tour. Dennis
