Enjoyed the Vue experience - Billie was a great tour guide and the whole experience was wonderful! We enjoyed the views from the observation deck and the drinks were delicious. One of us successfully docked our barge, but the rest of us need to stay in our lane 😜!

Great Views - Highly recommend. We found discount tickets on Groupon but worth full price. The views are amazing. Very friendly staff. Informative and self paced. We went at 10 am and had it almost to ourselves to enjoy. Started filling up by the time we left. 1 1/2 hours will be plenty of time to take it all in.

Nice Views! - I was hesitant because of how high it is but it has beautiful views of the entire city! Even if you don’t like heights it’s not too bad.

Great hidden jewel in New Orleans - This was a great interactive museum for young and old alike. The exhibits are very interesting and informative. We learned about the history, culture, and music of New Orleans. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Worth it even in the winter! - Beautiful views, gorgeous way to see the city! Strong cocktails, yum! It’s windy, so bring a jacket, but stunning even in December! Knowledgeable, friendly tour guide (thanks Leeana!) where we learned a lot about the city! Definitely recommend!

Vue Orleans - It's an experience worth having. The inside guided tour was informative and animated. The observation deck exceeded my expectations and we enjoyed having the Cafe to get refreshments.

Halloween Birthday at Vue Orleans - Halloween birthday reservations here at Vue Orleans. Did you know that this building is the original World Trade Center of New Orleans??!! We were 15 minutes behind but our tour guide Leeana was amazing! Felt like family. She informed us we were a bit behind, but made us feel like we didn't miss a beat. She showed us each and every display item, gave us the history and knowledge to how to operate the screen films for ourselves. We watched a beautiful animated short 5 minute film of the history of New Orleans. The screen is 180 which makes you feel like you are part of the movie. Next we headed up to the top floors 33 & 34. Prior to leaving I visited the gift shop and got a souvenir pencil and collected beautiful beads from Ms Hanna who’s from Hawaii, who was dressed as NEW YEARS EVE. Hanna was such a beautiful woman with great energy. Floor 33 was 360 of New Orleans history. And for 34 for our all inclusive VIP signature drink of choice. Which retails at $15. Hint: If you plan on drinking purchase the all inclusive tickets and you'll save $10 off your drink! Leeana also greeted us at the end of our experience

Great views - recommend the basic observation deck ticket rather than tour - Good for a quick trip to orientate yourself to the city - felt higher than we expected whilst up there, with great views! The exhibit is well considered but on reflection I would just buy the standard ticket and not the upselling option of drinks and tour, as included drink options were limited and the tour just consisted of a guide pointing out features of the existing exhibit rather than providing new or additional information. Top tip: the Chandelier Bar at the Four Seasons is immediately nextdoor and makes for a brilliant cocktail after taking in the wonderful view!
