VIP New Orleans Review - Our national meeting was in New Orleans and we had three busses for the tour. We learned so much about the city and its history. The guides were great and not one complaint. Highly recommend for your next visit.

Take a tour with Nicholas, he’s the best with all of his knowledge of the city. - What a wonderful bus tour with Nicholas. He was a wonderful spirit with a ton of facts and knowledge about the beautiful city. I recommend a tour with him any day. P.S he drives the bus very well and safe and maneuvers all the tight spots so well. 😄🤷

Three Cheers for our tour guide Jared - We just returned from NOLA and totally enjoyed our trip. Especially our tour with Jared our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and funny and made our tour memorable. We definitely would recommend this tour to friends that will be traveling to your area. We had originally thought to ride the Hop On Hop Off tour but are so glad we decided to go with VIP City Tours. At the end of our tour, everyone on the bus let out a loud cheer for Jared. Thanks for a great experience!!

Henry gave a great tour! - Henry was absolutely fantastic - both a ton of fun and also full of really interesting knowledge about the history of New Orleans from past to present. This tour was really good for getting to see outside of the French Quarter and visiting areas that you wouldn't have had time to see otherwise. 10/10, would absolutely recommend!

Great tour and guide - Henry did an amazing job giving us a tour of the city. We were there the day after the attack on Bourbon St. so our tour had to be altered a little. We don't feel like we missed out on anything.

A comfortable way to tour NOLA - Informative, breezy, and though we were familiar with New Orleans, we learned new things about the city's history, and its neighborhoods, particularly related to Hurricane Katrina. If you really want an intense NOLA cemetery tour, though, try something else. It was a little light on that part.
