This tour is a must for those who know nothing about New Orleans! - Wesley was very knowledgeable and well spoken. Made the information interesting. Only wish the tour was longer. The stop was helpful. Bus was comfortable. I was impressed with New Orleans, it’s history and how it came to be what it is today.

Great way to see more of New Orleans - Shawn and Aaron were awesome. Shawn is very knowledgeable and made the tour personable too. Both gave some great food recommendations and suggested things to do or not do for first time visitors. Even came across a 2nd line during the tour! Would highly recommend.

Fun and informative - I booked this tour at the beginning of our week long vacation, we brought our parents to New Orleans for the first time and I wanted them to be able to hear facts about the City so that we could visit places covered that they may want to see while in town. DJ was our tour guide, he was entertaining and very informative. The bus was air conditioned and comfortable and the tour lasted about 2.5 hours. We all enjoyed this tour very much and would recommend to anyone visiting NOLA.

Great Summary of New Orleans - My mom and I took this awesome tour with Cynthia(tour guide)and Kesha(driver)! Cynthia was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the sites we passed by! We loved the stop at the cemetery and we also loved that we were on an air conditioned bus because it was hot outside! It was a great way to see the outskirts of the city!

Worth your time - I really enjoyed the history. The beignets at Bon's were amazing and they really covered the city. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide was fantastic. There was a local woman at the cemetary selling pralines, which I highly recommend.

Mildly interesting. Loud tour guide - Usually love a city tour and enjoy collecting nuggets of info as we go. Organisation was poor. Finding Bon’s wasn’t easy although we got there in the end. Nobody to greet us and none of the guests knew what was happening. Anyway. We got onboard and the tour guide Shaun got on and we wished we had taken a back seat as he was unnecessarily LOUD through the whole trip. He was mildly interesting and occasionally funny on the way out of the city and the cemetery tour was ok and gave us a rest from his overly loud voice. He could have woken the dead! The 2nd half was rather dull as we passed buildings and statues that looked interesting, Shaun took 20 minutes talking about the difference between creole and Cajun. 20 minutes we won’t get back! Not saying it was terrible, but a message to Shaun. Slow down and tone down. You don’t need to shout to be interesting. As I disembarked, I had his voice ringing in my head as I downed a few beers!

New Orleans tour - DJ, our guide, was late and we couldn't find a sign for the store because we came from behind and the sign only faces to the front. It was cold and rainy that morning so we were running around looking for him. We finally asked the van driver instead and he welcomed us in. DJ gave an honest tour, about views and backgrounds of the city, but he talked so fast, it made my head spin. After awhile it just got blurry. All in all, it was okay. We did enjoy the cemetery portion and the explanation of the tomb and burial process. The view of the homes and buildings were also a treat.
