- This is long overdue, and I have forgotten to give a great review on Grayline bus tour in NOLA. Kate H. was our tour guide, and she did an excellent job. The tour was on October 13, 2023.

Great tour of New Orleans - Very friendly driver and tour guide. The guide was most knowledgeable- I learned so much from her! The bus was modern and the air conditioning was great I’d highly recommend this tour - it took three hours and fit nicely into our day.

Great tour! - This tour was amazing. Gail was very informative. And it was obvious she loved her city. We learned about early beginnings, architecture, culture, City Park, Katrina.... Malcolm was our driver and he was great too. He helped people on and off for safety. Our stops included beignets, a cemetery, and the Garden District.

Robert is the best for this tour - One of the best tours ever, the guide was Robert and he was the best, a lot of knowledge about NO and is not about only the Cemetery, also took us to Anne Rice house and the gardens. Amazing

Friendly guides, boring sights. - We enjoyed our driver and guide. The first part of the tour was interesting. The cemetery was disappointing. It was a new cemetery, not an old one. No famous people there, no movies filmed there. The stop at cafe du monde in the park for a break was 15 minutes -barely time to do anything, then back on the bus for 2 more hours of boredom and hearing about hurricane Katrina!
