The tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. I learned a lot, and he provided great information about New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, and the city’s overall history. He explained everything in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, which made the experience both informative and enjoyable. I loved and truly appreciated the experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the city.

Bob, our driver and Tour Guide, was very knowledgeable and a very good driver through heavy traffic at times. Stops included time to enjoy a portion of a huge Sculpture Garden and a huge exclusive Cemetery. Learned a great deal about Katrina and its effects on home building, canals, levees, and pumping stations after two decades. A very interesting three hour excursion.

Gary was a great tour guide. We saw so many sights. Gary gave us history of NOLA. he answered all of our questions. I’m so glad we stopped at a cemetery- so unusual in NO.

Now, we have the understanding of New Orleans cemeteries. This tour is comfortable in shuttle while our tour guide driver narrates the main points of interests and the effects of hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, LA. We stopped by Café du Monde for a treat to conclude the tour.

This was an excellent tour, I have done the walking tour, they are nice but this one picks you up at your hotel and drops you off at your hotel, very convenient and it was filled with so much history and information and we had a few stops. I would highly recommend this Tour as a travel consultant taking this tour without Viator knowing I’m an agent gives me clear to see this so I may share with my clients once again I would recommend this tour
