Nice tour - This was a nice tour if you want to see all parts of New Orleans and also learn about the culture. There was a fun stop for snacks and drinks. It was a cute cafe outside of the main tourist areas we would not have gotten to.

See the city, beat the heat - A great way to see the city, learn some history and beat the heat. Gary was a wealth of knowledge. He truly loves his city and sharing its history. Loved that we got to stop in City Park for beignets at Cafe du Monde. This tour was perfect as I was traveling with my mom and aunt who are in their 80’s. Book this tour

Very Informative ... - I was excited to do this as following Katrina I wanted more info. I wasn't disappointed .
the meeting point was not communicated correctly and were told to wait in a place that no one came and no other directions given, the fact that we ventured out and ask questions we saw the tour guide and bus .
The tour was informative and Gomez was well spoken with a natural flair which made digesting information fun .
We learned about the burial process and saw the relevant areas which shows a clear divide in living .
His rendition at the end was priceless .. thank you

Quick Thinking!! - Our tour guard Cynthia and driver Carl were amazing.
Cynthia was very knowledgeable and kept the flow of the tour going.
Carl was on top of his driving game, we were on the bus in the 9th ward as torrential rains came he turned the bus around before we got to the underpass and then all of a sudden the flash flood warnings starting buzzing on our phones.
Quite the experience when you are talking about Katrina!!

A really comprehensive tour - The City sightseeing tour really covers all the bases in the city. You get to see major neighborhoods around New Orleans and move away from the French Quarter, while learning a lot about the history of the city. JD was a wealth of information. Most of the tour is driving past the various places, which is as described (and the reason you can see so much), but there are a couple stops to tour a cemetery and for coffee/beignets, which breaks up the trip. I'd recommend doing this early in your trip because you can come away with a lot of recommendations for places to go, things to do, restaurants to eat at during the rest of your stay.

Very informative! - Overall the portion we were on was great. Was not feeling well and we had to part from the group at the first stop and get other transportation back, but guide had lots of info to share.
