Excellent - The tour was excellent. We got picked up at our hotel. Unfortunately it was raining but driver right on time. Our driver/guide, David, was fabulous. He explained history and was great story teller. He never rushed us and was more than willing to answer questions. So many areas of New Orleans covered. I would recommend this tour. Mini bus clean and comfortable. David definitely made the tour an excellent experience.

Great overall tour and Darren is great! - Darren did a fantastic job on this tour. He's very funny and knowledgeable as well. Loved his accent :) We were a large group of 9 and he helped taking pictures which was much appreciated. The tour itself was extensive - it covered more ground than the (more expensive!) hop on/hop off tour bus. Bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Highly recommend for an overall tour of the city. We had several first timers in the group and they all really enjoyed it.

Good information and excellent driver/tour guide - Our driver/tour guide was full of information and did a good job announcing upcoming sights before we reached them and repeated the information several times. I’d recommend this tour.

Easy Tour w/ Comfy A/C - The was a great tour for those who do not want to walk. They picked us up in front of our hotel so that was easy! Our Tour Guide was amazing and gave us history from all different perspectives. It's nice to be able to see the local spots and not just the tourist attractions. It was well worth it!

Great choice for a fun and fascinating intro to New Orleans! - My husband and I really enjoyed this tour, the itinerary was great, we saw even more than was advertised. But the highlight was Darren our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny, and has an endless supply of stories and anecdotes about all the sites we saw. And he even has a fabulous sound track synced to the itinerary. It really made the trip. I highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommended! - Hotel pick up was amazing. We had a small group and our driver was very friendly and shared so much knowledge about the districts. It was so eye opening to get to go where walking tours don’t go. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting a great overview of the city from a comfortable setting.

Cemetery walking tour - The tours guide was very knowledgeable and was very good in his delivery of information. We really appreciated his sense of humor as well. I recommend taking this tour in the morning as the cemetery is likely very hot in the afternoons.
