Must see tour
Very informative and knowledgeable tour guide Sean!! Visited great city historical sites!! Highly recommend this tour and guide!!
Great Tour - Easy and Relaxed
Great tour! Easy to find the starting point. The bus had plenty of seats and was nice and cool (I brought a small blanket and I'm glad I did!) The stop at cafe du monde in city park was a tasty break. The short cemetery tour was interesting but if you don't want to walk/stand, you could wait on the bus. We saw much more than just the French Quarter.
Already did.
Informative trip, excellent guide.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Cynthia was an awesome tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about New Orleans past and present. We loved the stops at City Park and the St. Louis cemetery although a little more time at the cemetery to explore would have been great. Karl the bus driver did a great job maneuvering the busy roads! Definitely a great tour!!
Day 1 must do
The tour was informative and fun. There were only 4 of us so it was a little more intimate. The guide was from the area and provided insight around the area. It was worth getting out of the French Quarter the first day we were there so we could see where we should go back to on our own time. The cemetery, the park and Frenchmen Street were our favorites. The meeting spot was easy to walk to from downtown but would be convenient for Uber/Lyfts for drop offs.
