Got the job done

We enjoyed our experience while on the bus. The drivers and guides were great and informative. However the app wasn’t setup for New Orleans to be able to track when the next bus was coming. This resulted in long wait times for the next bus and wasted time.

Great tour guide and driver

The tour guide and driver were great. Bus 201 wasn’t great though because the air conditioning wasn’t working in the bus and it was very uncomfortable.

City bus tour

Great way to see the city and determine what you want to see and don't. The tour guides are knowledgeable and add humor to the tour.

Nolo nuance

A great way to see the city on a budget! The live presenters are a refreshing plus. The covered top is a great addition to the protect from direct sunlight and incidental rains.
