• Garden District - Known as the “Garden District” for its extravagant gardens, this area of New Orleans is renowned for its stunning scenery. Visitors are captivated by the graceful mansions and charming setting that ensures a relaxing, unforgettable experience.

Many celebrities reside in the Garden District, so you never know who you might spot in their yards or walking their dogs. America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock owns a house just blocks from St. Charles Avenue. New Orleans native and The Big Lebowski actor John Goodman calls this historic neighborhood home, as does our very own New Orleans Saint, Drew Brees. Nicolas Cage is also frequently seen around.

We’ll explore the homes featured in the novels of Anne Rice and numerous films. We’ll take you to see the more famous, or infamous, places the residents of the Garden District call home. We’ll tour the oak-lined streets, and you’ll sit just feet from some of the most historic mansions in all of America.

• Treme - The Treme (pronounced “Treh-MAY”; historically Faubourg Tremé) is the birthplace of Jazz. The Treme is the spiritual heart of our city. Congo Square in Armstrong Park anchors this historic neighborhood where the streets hold more history than some books.

The Treme has been a legendary influence on New Orleans culture. Many significant events have taken place on these back streets of Treme.

• French Quarter - For centuries, people have been drawn to the allure of the French Quarter, and it’s easy to see why you’re here.

From the comfort of your air-conditioned seat, you’ll drive down Decatur Street, one of the most scenic in the area. You’ll pass through the famous French Market to Esplanade Avenue as you hear the history of this 300-year-old neighborhood.

• St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 - No tour in New Orleans would be complete without visiting one of our renowned cemeteries. While the dead are buried six feet under in your town, they rise above in ours. Our guides share the stories that haunt the Crescent City. We’ll show you where some of our most legendary residents rest eternally.

The tour group disembarks to take a walk, allowing you to see up close and personal that New Orleans has a unique relationship with our dead, unlike anywhere else in the country.

• New Orleans City Park - City Park is one of New Orleans’ best attractions. A vast, lush space, City Park is a breathtaking expanse of sights. 1.5 times larger than New York’s Central Park, City Park hosts the New Orleans Museum of Art, a carousel, and duck ponds, as well as some of New Orleans’ finest wildlife.

Located in the heart of Mid City, City Park is also where the Voodoo Music Festival is held annually.

We’ll take a ride through the winding streets where mossy oaks line the roads, while birds perch on the branches contemplating the day. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, and millions annually stroll under the picturesque moss canopies.

• Cafe Du Monde - City Park - Enjoy a break in City Park at Cafe Du Monde and try some cafe au lait and beignets (French donuts) if you need a snack. Restrooms are available at this stop.
• Musician’s Village - As New Orleans natives, this part of the tour truly resonates with us. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, it devastated our city. We’ve spent over a decade working hard to rebuild and show the world we’re better than ever.

VIP New Orleans Bus Tours will show you how far we’ve come and what we are doing to ensure this never happens again. Our guides take you to see Musician’s Village to witness some of the success stories that continue to define the resilience of our residents.

Too far to walk from the French Quarter, we’ll take you on a ride that only the locals know about. You’ll get a chance to truly experience what life in New Orleans can be like.

• Caesars Superdome - View one of the largest indoor stadiums in the US. Did you know that the location for the Superdome was originally the Girard Street Cemetery?
• French Market - Pass by the most famous outdoor market in America. Fresh produce, souvenirs, and other curiosities can be found in this magical marketplace.
• Lake Pontchartrain - We’ll take you to see one of the largest lakes in the country, our very own Lake Pontchartrain. Our lake is a body of water so vast, the bridge to cross it is larger than most municipal areas and is even in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Here’s a little-known fact: it’s really not even a lake, it’s a giant estuary that feeds into the Gulf of Mexico, and just so happens to be an easy swim of 630 miles.

Lake Pontchartrain is one of the most popular destinations for Louisiana residents in the summer. Boats are out for miles, and countless fishermen troll the waters looking for the catch of the day.
