Tony was great guide and driver

There are only two stops on the tour but the driver (Tony) was willing to make other stops, when possible, to take photos. The driver was great. Very informed with a good sense of humor. The tour did run longer than advertised but luckily it didn’t upset my plans. I would recommend this tour. Good value for the money. Don’t forget to have some cash on hand for a tip well deserved.

Great overview of NOLA

Bob, my tour guide was full of information. He was fun to listen to and he paid attention to all of our questions. In the almost 3 hours, we stopped in one of the famous cemeteries, had a chance to grab a beignet at Cafe Du Monde, saw the houses of the famous AND learned so much about how Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the city and came to appreciate the strengthens the stamina of the people of this city to come back after that tragedy!

Relaxing City Tour

We had a great experience on the New Orleans City Tour and we booked it last minute! The pickup and drop-off were right on time, which made everything easy and stress-free. Our driver was friendly, engaging, and kept the tour interesting by sharing fun facts and local history throughout the ride. The only minor downside was that the bus was a little warm at times, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Visiting the cemetery and city park were my favorite stops. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the highlights of New Orleans with a knowledgeable and personable guide. Would loved to have seen some of the sites affected most by Katrina as well.

What a great tour!

Bob was so great! He was knowledgeable and the nicest guy! He took us all around the city. He shared stuff about Hurricane Katrina and the levies. He took us by celebrity homes. We saw mansions and shotgun houses. Highly recommend this tour, you’ll have a great time.
