5.00Bob was the best tour guide! Friendly, patient and very knowlegable! He us a good communicator and an excellent driver. The group was lively and added to the tour. All questions were answered.
Just Okay

2.00The overall experience was just okay. It was almost like being the backseat of your grannies car, while she shared stories about “back in the day.” The tour sites were cool, it was just our guide that was super boring. Then, she passed our street “canal,” drove about 5 blocks over to let others off, then told us that she couldn’t get back over because the parades were starting. We understood that concept, but we were already right there at canal. She could have let us off there versus walking 5 blocks.

5.00The tour guide is very knowledgeable about city of New Orleans. It was very interesting and Bob really captures your attention. There were a few hop off/on periods to get out and stretch your legs. If you are going to take pictures, have your cameras ready. It will be a tour you will never forget.
Excellent and thorough introduction to the city

5.00Spent our first morning in New Orleans on this amazing tour which took us all around the city. Our guide Joseph was SO informative with lots of history, architectural details, and cultural insights. We were able to check some things off of our bucket list (seeing the different neighborhoods and districts, a cemetery, and sampling beignets,) gained a lot of insights into the history of the city and the aftermath of hurricane Katrina (including seeing where one of the levees breached and a house that was turned into a museum of sorts), and also got a good sense of different places we want to explore further. Had we only had a day in the city this and some time walking around and getting a meal in the French quarter would have been a perfect sampling, and since we have more time it was a great way to ensure that we make the most out of the rest of our trip!
Very Diverse and Informative

5.00Very informative tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about New Orleans. Very diverse tour, it had a little something for everyone, cemetery's, architecture, disasters, i.e. Katrina, facts on water pumping stations, levees, causeways, etc., complete with a stop at Cafe du Monde, university and houses of worship.
Perfect Tour for First Time Visitors

5.00Driver/tour guide — Joseph— was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining New Orleans history, both from long ago and more recent events like Katrina. The tour was about the right length for what we wanted. It gave us a good overview of the city.

5.00Very informative! Love the pick up directly from hotel option. Very bumpy roads, be prepared for that. Love learning the history of all of New Orleans, not just the French quarter. Bring cash for tips!
