Great sights on a tight timeline! - Butch was a great tour guide! He had lots of stories and fun facts about the multiple areas we toured throughout the city. We had two young kids with us so being able to see a lot in a couple hours on a bus was great. The two stops at the cemetery and distillery were nice ways to break up the bus ride and see new spots we otherwise would not!

A Fantastic New Orleans Experience with Amber! - Our group of six took the city bus and cemetery tour, and our driver/tour guide, Amber, was absolutely exceptional. She kept everyone engaged with her deep knowledge of New Orleans history, sharing stories and insights from the perspective of someone who has lived in the city most of her life. I recently suffered an injury and needed an assisted walking device, and Amber went above and beyond to help. She made sure my device was off the bus and ready for me at each stop, including the cemetery and distillery tours. Her kindness and attentiveness made a huge difference. Our entire group wants to say “thank you very much” for showing us the real New Orleans and for giving us fantastic recommendations for great food during our stay. Amber truly made the experience memorable!

Recommended! - Booked a bus tour of town and cemetery #3 on arrival in NO. Butch was our driver and tour guide, excellent with loads of info, and we were able to ask loads of questions that he could answer! But he gave us historical and background information about the area and customs, which is really interesting! Thank you. Highly recommend.

Best tour guide you can get - We took this tour while in NOLA last week. Our tour guide Derrik not only was he informative he was friendly, funny and a energetic host for the tour keeping us interested the whole ride. We saw many areas of the city with details of history, things to do and up-close views of many attractions area. We made a stop at a cemetery and got a wonderful understanding of the burial process, then a distillery afterwards.

Loved the history!! - Derek was outstanding! He was easy to understand even though he said he grew up a local boy! He was super knowledgeable about the city and history! I really enjoyed it! I was unsure between bus tour v. Walking tour but the A/C sold me! I’m so glad I opted for this! He also recommended a great place to eat and we took his recommendation over something we had in the past! Highly recommend and really enjoyed Derek!!
