Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great Birds Eye view of New Orleans, definitely recommend
So much good and interesting information!! Our tour guide was amazing and full of great knowledge, and she seemed to enjoy her job!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We went to CafeDeMont and had delicious beniet. Enjoyed hearing the history of the city.
Sean was our tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun with his sense of humor and his love of New Orleans history.
The best sightseeing experience of my New Orleans vacation. The docent was very inatesrong with her professionalism, knowledge, and humor. She was very able to communicate with the attendees
Excellent tour. Definitely covered most parts of the city.
Cynthia and Aran were the best. Cynthia was so knowledgeable and very informative about the city and history. I learned so much in such a short time. Her love for NOLA is contagious!
This tour was excellent! It was well organized, detailed yet concise, and comfortable to take part in. Cynthia, our guide, provided a wealth of information that highlighted the areas of interest that were included. We’ve been regular visitors to New Orleans for over forty years and had already done numerous tours of the city. This one was better than any of the others! Having a guide in addition to a driver (Carl, who was excellent as well) made it possible for each to remain focused on their specializations. Cynthia’s knowledge of the city allowed her delivery to be natural and her voice quality and diction made her easy to understand….even for ol’ codgers like us whose hearing has waned. I highly recommend this tour!
Great city tour. Tour guide was excellent. Very factual.
Cynthia and Carl were amazing, she spoke from the heart and has a lot of interesting insights and history
Wow… there was 6 of us that booked this tour because I went on it last year and really enjoyed it. D.J. Hayes did not disappoint… his entertaining knowledge, background and history was top notch!! All of us really loved to see all the different neighborhoods and hear about the history and locals who live there and how it was affected by politics, weather and time. Thank you so much DH Hayes… I will be sure and pass your name on and recommend this absolutely fabulous tour to everyone I know!!!!!
Very enjoyable. Had a great guide. Took us to several beautiful spots in NOLA and gave us lots of history
You learn a lot about New Orleans in 2 hours. The group is small and the van is comfortable. Our tour guide Cynthia was a delight.
Scott was an excellent guide. The tour was informative and enjoyable. Got to see a good bit of the City.
It was very informative ! I give it a ten. The driver / tour guide was great. Very enjoyable I would definitely recommend taking this tour
Make sure you have your walking shoes and bring cash for snacks. Bring a sense of humor and good mood cuz it's Lots of fun!!
Cynthia was an excellent guide sharing personal experiences. Carl was an excellent bus driver.
I was happy that we did get to see and learn more about the impact of Hurricane Katrina and we also saw the outskirts of one of the historically black universities. The guide was knowledgeable but , it would have been more productive to have him share more information about the city’s history as opposed to his own.
We had such a great experience. Our tour guide (Leah) was very knowledgeable and so informative about the history of New Orleans. I like the fact she gave us a call to make sure we we were at the right location. I highly recommend this tour for everyone!!
Good overview of New Orleans. Especially helpful for persons with mobility issues- we could not have walked this much.Tour guide was fun and informative.
The tour was not what I expected. I was very disappointed! We definitely passed quickly by sites, without slowing down. The tour guide talked very fast, got off track, and talked about his family too much. We went into the cemetery and some of the ways he talked about the process was insensitive. I wouldn’t recommend this tour and would not take it again. I should have just gotten on the hop on hop off bus.
A group of us took the New Orleans Sightseeing City Tour. We had a really good time! Lia our tour guide was excellent along with Corey the driver! Definitely would recommend!
Very thorough tour of New Orleans - provided an overview of the area and stopped at known sites of interest. The tour guide and van driver were very nice and professional.
Cynthia was our tour guide and she was great. Carl was our driver and he did a great job navigating the construction we ran into. So much information. I have taken these tours before, but I always learn something.
This was the best city tour I ever had. My guide Cynthia was amazing, she made this tour informative yet entertaining, there were not a single dull moment. We were shown the different neighbourhoods of New Orleans. I learnt the tradition, culture, history and environmental challanges of NO in 2,5 hours.
Sean was our tour guide. His vast knowledge of New Orleans made this one of the best tours I have ever taken. I learned a lot about this unique city.
Driver and tour guide were great. Knowledgeable and friendly!! Scott and Carl thank you!! We will be recommending this tour to our friends and family.
The tour guide may only cater to the loud drinks on the bus. Four o’clock is the wrong time to go or hopefully you get a guide with a back bone.
Comfy and efficient way to see the city. Interesting stories from Cindy and driver Aran was excellent.
Unfortunately, we could not go into the French Quarter due to street construction. The guide was informative, however, by the time he called out a location to see we were already passing it. No way to get a good look at it let alone get a picture. The bus NEVER slowed or stopped for anything the guide pointed out. It was very frustrating. We did stop and get out at a cemetery which was cool. We would not recommend this bus tour.
Great tour for the price. Comfortable bus and people were great. Cynthia was a great tour guide and shared a ton of knowledge and history with us. Would highly recommend this tour for first timers to New Orleans.
Cynthia and Carl were great team. Cynthia was extremely knowledgeable and Carls driving was excellent.
There were people in our tour who had never witnessed New Orleans so this tour offered them a chance to experience the different areas of the City. There were people in our group who have been coming to New Orleans for years and did not know that Ruby Bridges desegrated a school in New Orleans. We got to see the steps! It was a beautiful moment.
It gave us a great overall view of the city of New Orleans. By bus it helped to see and understand some of the unique areas of the city.
Excellent experience. Cynthia was very knowledgeable about New Orleans history and made everything educational and enjoyable.
Great tour! Very informative. The bus was comfortable. Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. First time to New Orleans was great to learn things you wouldn’t by just walking around. Would recommend
Great tour! Highly recommend! Loved the tour! Very good speaker and super informative. Highlight of the trip
Great way to explore the city and get our bearings on our first visit. Highly engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed the sweet stop for beignettes:)
Awesome tour!! Very knowledgeable about the new orleans history. Driver and narrator were all so accommodating and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour!
Beyond five star rating. This was an awesome & informative tour. Our guide was Trish and her enthusiasm and knowledge made it an unforgettable experience. When approaching points of interest, she gave advanced notice as to what to look at. When visiting New Orleans, this tour most definitely should be added to your itinerary. Highly recommended.
Lots of fun information and fascinating sights. Great tour! The canary was a highlight for us and the stop at Cafe Du Monde was great!
The guide totally trashed our evening plans for the Natchez boat dinner cruise. He said horrible things about it. Highest rate of cancer because of the industry along the River. He complained of round up factory and other things. Told us to sit inside. Even if it was all true, he should not have said those things to us made me totally disappointed to go on that tour.
The city of of New Orleans was fantastic. Our tour Guide, Gomez, did a wonderful job of going through the city’s history, pointing out various historical and meaningful places, as well as interjecting his personal experiences in the city. One of the best tours we have been on.
The tour was fantastic and incredibly informative! On a scorching day, it was to ride around in the air-conditioned bus and see sights outside the French Quarter.
Quick way to learn much about an interesting city. The tour guide Cynthia was great! The driver was also skilled and the bus comfortable.
Took a similar tour seven years ago. Enjoyed this one too. The guide was good, lots of history and information. Visited several of the locations they recommended afterwards.
Cynthia was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the area. We enjoyed her very much.
This was a brilliant tour and a great way to see parts of New Orleans you might have missed due to time constraints, we were met at the meeting point by our guide Cynthia who was really friendly, our bus driver Carl was also friendly, Cynthia explained what and where we’d be going and stopping off some Beignets at Cafe du mond, the tour was so informative and the cemetery we stopped at was very interesting, we loved the tour and it’s a must to go on when you’re here.
Great day one tour for everyone needing an indoctrination or reminder of the history and layout of New Orleans. Tour happens rather quickly and there are only 2 short stops, but that actually adds to the value.
