Great that its live commentary. We got on at the first stop at the beginning of the day, we like to get front seats on the upper deck for what we believe are the best viewing seats.
Elroy, Bill, and Lea are the greatest- I am a repeat rider through multiple visits over the last few years just to see them!
The guide give a great description of the events that took place in New Orlesns culture and history. Loved storytoe
The entire ride is about 1 hr and 45 mins. The guide talked about historical details as we passed by various sites. When you’re tired of walking this is a good break to relax and just enjoy New Orleans!
Very convenient way to get around without a car.
This was a great way to navigate the city and see the importance places worth spending your time. Having the ability to get on and off at our pace was super helpful. All the guides were very passionate about sharing their knowledge of the city and you can see their pride in what they do. This is not just a job to them!
I bought the 3 day pass for this experience, but was not able to check in for it until the 3rd day. We had other activities that were going on during the business hours for this bus during our first two days in New Orleans. Thankfully, I had printed out the QR code or we would not have been able to check in and do this experience at all! It disappeared from Viator after the original day I planned to start using it had passed (but should have still been available because I paid for a 3 day pass). The tour is very fun and informative. My kids and I really enjoyed it.
See the sights, enjoy the ride and learn about various places in the city as the guide points out a variety of attractions & it’s history. A must do for every visitor who wants to become familiar with different aspects of the city. We purchased a three day pass. Highly recommended. A must see and do.
Ron was a Knowledgeable and friendly guide who pointed out many good places to eat and go back and see. He worked well with the driver Gary who maneuvered through some tight spots and gave us plenty of time to take some pictures of things.
We really enjoyed the city tour. All the bus guides were good and friendly. The bus could use a deep clean but wasn’t a big factor in us enjoying the experience.
The Hop on Hop off is a good tourist feature we used for our 3 day stay with 3 day tickets. Some narrators were much easier to understand than others which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
We enjoyed the guided walking tours that were included with our 3 day pass. We had Lisa for the French District and Colin for the Garden District. Both were very knowledgeable, entertaining and added to our New Orleans trip.
Easy way to see lots of the city. Some tour guides were very good at the historical significance, other just wanted to tell you where to spend your money
The tour was very informative and each tour guide added their own style of humor. We booked a 3 day pass and was well worth it. We rode each day and saved steps for exploring! Would do it again!
What a great way to get around and learn about the city! Every guide and driver we had were amazing! You can tell they all love their job!
It was a wonderful experience and the best part was the guide. Started with Celsele + Ron and ended with Paige + Demetra. Thank you so much for world class service.
None not interest in adding this to the review should be optional if start rating is above a certain number waste of time
Online purchase was easy to follow. On board commentary was generally good. Special thanks to Sam for an informative and engaging cemetery tour. The recommended map app worked well and its bus wait times were accurate until the wait exceeded 30 minutes, at which time we were left wondering just how long we would be left waiting. The only disappointment was that the advertised 25 minute gap between buses was never achieved. On one occasion the wait was close to an hour, which was no fun when we had to stand in full sun whilst waiting.
It was a great way to get around, experience and see other things besides the area you are staying, and the guides were very knowledgeable. Each guide added a different outlook and experience.
We enjoyed this so much. We learn alot about the history of NOLA. Also great way to get around the city.
This tour was a great way to see the city and learn about its history. We had Steve and Daynel as our tour operators and ended up staying for the full loop because the tour was so engaging and informative.
The guides were very informative and fun. The rest of the staff was very helpful and friendly. I learned a lot and about the city, and I was able to get the layout of the city faster than if I'd just been walking around. If your plans allow, I'd suggest taking a full trip around first (about an hour and a half). They have lots of tips on where to visit.
Great tour with lots of information about the city. Clean bus with options for sitting inside, outside or outside in open air!
Linda and Keron were terrific!
This was not our first trip to Nola, but it was the first time we took this tour. We loved the convenience of hop on hop off throughout the downtown and garden district. Stops were clearly marked. Free ponchos on board in case of rain which happens often in June. Lower level of bus is air conditioned, but we preferred the open air upper level, under a canopy keeping us out of the hot sun. Our two day pass also included two walk tours with knowledgeable guides. The on board guides were great too! Good for singles, couple families!! I waited until the night before to see weather before booking, and luckily space was still available. I booked right here on the trip advisor app. Tickets came in my email and transferred easily to my apple wallet! Easy peasy!!
We always use Hop on Hop Off tours wherever we go. This tour was great! All of the guides were great over the three day period. Very entertaining and helpful in knowing which stops to use to get to restaurants and special events.
Informative. Funny. Comprehensive. We got multiple days and did the walking tours also. Well worth the money.
Good way to explore NOLA. Guides on board provide a lot of history, details, and fun facts.,..........
Covered major areas of New Orleans...ran regularly...knowledgeable guides Clean and accessible...very pleasant experience!
Great way to get a feel for the City of New Orleans with the added bonus of hopping off to explore the areas you find interesting and then hopping back on to move on further. Our guides did a wonderful job getting us around and filling us in on historic tidbits about the area. Sitting up top gives a great view but can be 'warm'. The size of the bus left room for several people, we did not have to ever wait for the next bus. The time allotted is what ever you want as long as you keep in mind they close around 5:30. We felt is was a good deal for the ease of getting around.
Great way to travel around the city and cover more sites. I got the three day pass and used it each day.only had to uber at night.drivers and guides were great.it rained one day and they provided ponchos. would definitely use on my next visit.
Second Day on the Bus and wish we had another! We spent quite a few hours at the National WW2 Museum; excellent and easily accessible from the Bus. Once again we parked at the Basin Visitor Center and ride from there. Logan and Lita gave us lots more info; so glad we took another ride! We also visited the French Market and did a bit more shopping.
Bus schedules are not exact, must allow for traffic and detours. If you’re not in a hurry to get to a particular stop, it’s a great way to see the city. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and was entertaining.
Fun riding around streets of NOLA with skilled drivers and informative tour guides. Learned a lot. Took the entire route on the 2nd day due to rain.
Drivers are very informative abd helpful. Would be nice if they had stops closer to the Royal Sonesta and some of the other locations were quite far from the actual destinations.
The hop on hop off tours are a great way to see alot in a short amount of time, also helps you get acclimated to the area.
The buses don't start running until 9:30 so you can't use them to get anywhere before 10:30. We had a food tour that started at 10:00 so we had to take an Uber. You also can't use it to get to dinner places because it quits running by 5:30 or earlier depending on what stop you're at or want to get to. Lastly, we purchased 3 day passes and after the first day the app said our ticket was complete and it disappeared from the app. So I had to find the email that had the QR code and use that because the Viator system wouldn't let me download load the QR code to my Apple wallet since it was marked that the ticket was complete even though we had two more days of use left. It was a hassle!!
We really enjoy the hop-on hop-off bus tours and look forward to them in the cities we visit. It was so worth it here because we got to see everything, and the bus stops were convenient to many restaurants and sites we visited. I’m glad we bought the 3-day tickets because we were on and off for 3 days. My only regret is, due to the downpour, we didn’t get the chance to use the walking tours. Even without the walking tour, the 3-day ticket was still worth the value.
Linda and Lita were fabulous guides and drivers. They were upbeat, fun loving, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to all. I highly recommend taking this bus tour.
I love the hop n go system! Or bus broke down and we waited 20 mins before we got to hop on another bus. But it was still fun
Guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining.
We had a great time using the hop on hop off busses. It really was the best way to explore the city. The staff were very friendly and patient and kept us well informed throughout the route. Linda was our favorite, she made the ride a lot of fun. She was funny, friendly and informative. Thank you Linda. We will definitely be using these busses again in the future and recommending to others. We also did a walking tour of the garden district with Paige. She was great and very informative as well. Thank you Paige. Thank you to all the hop on hop off staff.
Great way to get around the city and get your sense of direction and bearings. Took us two days to do that. Wonderful staff. Shout out to Bill who we saw many times and was great.
Great tour with excellent guides! Very informative with lots of info on each area. No two loops are exactly the same! Real enjoyed !
I highly recommend getting the 3 day pass so you can explore all the tour has to offer without rushing.
Overall, I do recommend the Hop-On Hop-Off tour. The drivers were safe and courteous, and most of the tour guides (two out of three) were informative and very entertaining. I can’t remember his name, but the guide from New Jersey was absolutely fantastic! We had a three-day pass, which included two walking tours: the French Quarter and the Garden District. The French Quarter tour was…meh. The guide seemed overly focused on getting us to see the steamboat departure, which made the tour feel a bit rushed. It wasn’t bad, just not something that needed to be treated as a “highlight,” especially since the boat departs at other times of day. The Garden District tour, on the other hand, was great! The guide was very friendly—even though it was her third non-stop tour on a very warm day—and she shared lots of interesting information. I only managed to stump her once with my questions—ha! Now for the downside: we had a three-day pass, but it disappeared from the app at the end of the second day. It wasn’t even saved under past tours like my others. I’m not sure what happened there. Fortunately, we had already seen everything we wanted, so it didn’t end up affecting our trip. Even with that odd issue, I would still recommend this tour to anyone looking for a convenient way to map out key points of interest.
Tour guide was wonderful Very informative and interesting. Bus was clean. The stop on Basin Street was great.
Was great ! Something you should due on your first day, gives you a lay of the land... Nick ( I think) was great and so was the second man (I forget his name) was also fun! The woman we had on the 3rd day, wasn't so good, she talked about things before you got there so you didn't see them whole t she chatted, she was too far she of herself. It is all about your guide Definitely a think to do, get the 3 day pass!
Enjoyed the commentary From the different guides. Got a feel for all the areas of the Big Easy. Enjoyed the suggestions on interesting places to go.
