Our tour guide was incredible! - This tour was wonderful! Our guide was an incredible source of historic information. His wealth of knowledge and natural humor made the trip such an enjoyable experience. I learned so much and appreciated the stops along the way for refreshments, a closer look during the visit to the cemetery (which was beautiful to see up close), and the air conditioned ride. Can’t thank our tour guide enough for a terrific and memorable experience in NOLA.

Great Way To Beat The Heat & Educate Yourself About The Big Easy With Time Devoted To Impact Of Hurricane Katrina - Highly recommend this comfortable coach bus tour early in your trip to provide overview of New Orleans, especially if you are interested in learning about the impact of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and beyond. On a hot and/or humid day, the bus tour is a great way to beat the heat while getting acquainted with The Big Easy. The driver clearly loves his home and enthusiastically shares the city's history from an insider's perspective. At times, he spoke a bit fast and was difficult to understand. Sit near the front for the best acoustics. I recommend planning to get your Cafe du Monde Beignets and coffee during this tour at the City Park location. They accept credit cards and offer a comfortable, air-conditioned dining space. There is also a well stocked gift shop on site. Be sure to tip the drivers (both hotel shuttle and tour guide)! They are working hard to ensure an excellent experience.

Enjoyed it - The tour was great to learn more about New Orleans and our guide was great and entertaining. Only thing I didn’t like was the heat in the bus (a/c not strong enough) and how late it started. Would still recommend this for its value and point of interest.

Great tour - It was great, only thing I didn’t like was that my husband and I were the last pickup and we were not able to sit together. At the end of the tour we were one of the first ones out. Go figure. We would have walked to a different pick up spot had we been told to?
