City & Swamp Tour - City tour was excellent. Very informative. Our tour guide was great. The swamp tour is something you do not want to miss. We did the small group Airboat tour. Our tour guide Ernie was outstanding.

Best City Tour - Our tour guide was Gary. The entire 3-hour tour was very informative. He shared a lot of information about the city and its history. He gave us just enough time for breaks and to take photos, like at the cemetery. The tour bus was clean, and the air conditioning was perfect for today's humidity.

New Orleans tour - I recently went on a bus tour with Alert Tours, and our guide, Gary, was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we visited. I was especially interested in the Ninth Ward and the impact of the flooding and damage there. Seeing the area as it is today was still heartbreaking. Gary provided valuable insight into why the devastation happened and also shared parts of his own experience. While his outcome was not as severe as that of many other families in the area, I truly appreciated his willingness to share his story.

Good tour. - Great overall tour. Love the added musical additions to the information. Great rainy day activity minus the airboat due to weather.

Bayou a tour - The bus tour of the French Quarter & information given by Darren was great and educational. I like the way he handled the bus tour. After we got switched to the Airboat bus, Lorraine was fun but not much of an educational ride. Plus the fact that we had to move to her bus we were seated way back and she did not have any microphone so it was hard to hear. The airboat stated disappointing since we were not called and I had to search which airboat we were to ride. We ended up with Capt Bob. He was great with the tour of the bayou and with educational info about the swamp, alligators, & other animals around the swamp.

City, cemetery, swamp tour - The city and swamp tours were great with knowledgeable guides. The ride out to the swamp was very bumpy and we could not hear the driver talking at all.
