Great orientation tour of the City - This was great tour for a solo traveler who is unfamiliar with the city. The live guides (Mary & Logan were mine) are so friendly and eager to provide advise on restaurants' and sights to see because they live there. It goes to all areas you want to see and the app was great with catching the next bus. The app is a little clunky and I had to load, delete and reload. But then it worked great. I also took the included Garden District Walking Tour with the 2 day. Sam was great and well worth it. Highly recommend.

Great intro to the city for first timers - Great way to get an overview of the city, and history and to get to different areas of the city. The Garden District and French Quarter tours are also highly recommended for a few dollars more. Many of the guides are excellent. A/C is on the lower bus, and views are on the top deck.
