Must Do! - This was our first time visiting New Orleans. Booked this tour to see more of the city and learn its history. Our tour guide, Cynthia, was very impressive with her knowledge and kept on CUE as we drove by many places of interest. We had two stops where we were able to explore on foot. Highly recommend this tour first thing when you arrive.

A must see & do in New Orleans - Our host was a history teacher & he knew his stuff. We thought 2 & 1/2 hours might be too long, but we didn’t want it to end. My teenage (14 & 16) also really enjoyed it! Great time! Very educational- in a fun way!

Must Do for First Visit to NOLA - Cynthia was incredibly well spoken, knowledgeable, and interesting in sharing some of the most interesting parts of New Orleans beyond the Quarter! She even p personally calls each guest just before the. tour to be sure they're submitting the pickup point and are on their way. Excellent 2.5 hour overview of this fascinating city!

Great way to learn of NOLA’s past and present. - John and Kesha were great hosts. Felt right at home immediately. Moreover, John’s knowledge of the city and its history was super solid. Additionally, his voice carries, not in your voice loud but a perfect volume for no amplifier system. Didn’t need it. Both with great senses of humor and “hostiness”. Thanks for the education!
Get a good feel for how NOLA grew. Do this tour!

Waist of time and money, nothing to see :-( - Avoid to take this tour. A waste of time and money. 2.5 hours close in a bus to listen the guide talking about topics that didn't catch my attention. No way to take a single photo. 2 stops: one to the famous cafè where to take the beignets but.....the queue is so long that in 15 minutes you cannot make it , second stop to a cemetery with explanation about tombs reading some names of the people buried there. Not a single mention to the most popular spots of the city (Burbon St. etc), nothing really interesting to see, only goind with this bus in suburbs where ...there is nothing! At least the guide shoul have provide some info about Louisiana, population, food, climate, habits, etc to pass the time on the bus....
