Traveler reviews
Great tour, have had better guides
Driver was great, tour was great. Took same tour last year with a fantastic guide. our guide today was kind of, well, not great. He knew facts and locations but also perceived himself as a stand up comic and I would rather have heard more historical facts instead of not-funny jokes and corny anecdotes. He was also a bit rude in guest interactions. He seemed a bit "over it" but maybe just a bad day, although we were the first tour of the day. Recommend the tour though. You see so much and stop at cemetery and City Park.

The tour was amazing! Our guide had a lot of information that useful. The pictures we got from our tour were also amazing!
Worth the Money!!
Second best money we spent in New Orleans after the to-go adult beverages! Our guide DJ was an amazing tour guide who definitely gave us an interesting and honest perspective on New Orleans. It wasn’t sanitized and we appreciated all of the random tidbits. Admittedly, probably not for someone who wants a FOX News worthy tour. Loved it! Thank you, DJ!!!!
Tour w Chris was awesome
Nice to be on a bus seeing the city listening to Chris instead of on a walking tour in the 95 degree heat. About 90 mins in the bus stops at a park w a Cafe Dumonde.

The bus was great on a very hot day. Our guide was personable, and gave a lot of great information, and some good insider info, too. Very enjoyable!
