Bob was a very good guide and even a nice person. He seems to have a LOT of knowledge of what he was talking about.

It's probably the best way to learn about New Orleans. We learnt a lot about the damage Katrina left behind.

We went on the City Tour our first afternoon here. It was a great overview of the city with lots of good recommendations! Our tour guide Bob was great. I highly recommend to do this tour to get a good view of lots of parts of the city. City Park, the cemeteries, and the hurricane katrina history was all very informative and interesting.

Our guide Chris was great. Full of information, friendly, helpful. Would recommend this for everyone. Especially try to do when you first get to NO. The cemetery info was..... well interesting even if a bit gruesome. Lots of suggestions about food and shopping. A ton of info on the architecture, and history of the city, plus a drive through the Garden District mansions, suggestions for places to go see and things to eat...... We had two stops — 0ne at the sculpture garden with a Du Monde's and one at a cemetery. The price was also fair!

Almost 3 hours but very interesting because you drive outside the city and there's so much to see. City Park is beautiful, wish we could have spent some time there. Just stopped at Cafe du monde for Beignets and coffee which was great.

Perfect tour if you’re new in the city or want to sight see. Trish was our guide, & she was great. Extremely knowledgeable, funny, & was very informative. She made a little pit stop & took us for some beignets. Highly recommend!

Bring a jacket as the bus sometimes gets cold. You get exposed to a lot of different areas of town. The driver was well versed in the history and shared great stories.
