4.00Very informative and entertaining. It may benefit more if the driver not also the one speaking. Talking may be distracting but Joseph was very good and professional.

Not for photo buffs

3.00The guide was excellent; he was very knowledgeable, a good driver, and kept us entertained. The price was very reasonable for a 3 hour tour. On the negative, the bus interior was in poor condition. It needed cleaning and repairs. I could not see well. My view out the front window was partially blocked, and my side window was smeared with something. I couldn't get any good photos except at the two stops. Tourists who like photo remembrances should consider a different tour.

1.00The tour was canceled at 2:30 pm in the afternoon, on the day before our scheduled 9:00 am tour. This left us little time to plan an alternative activity. They did offer us a different time, but we could not attend at that time.
Awesome experience!

5.00Bob was amazing! Very knowledgeable and took his time to show how New Orleans has changed throughout the years. Pickup was easy and the break at café Dumonde was also amazing. Definitely recommend.
Worth every penny!

5.00This was a very informative tour of New Orleans. Bob packed the tour with interesting info about the city, and the effect of Hurrican me Katrina. He pointed out good restaurants to visit and helped me check 2 other boxes - eating beignets at Cafe du Monde (truly the best in the city!) and seeing the oak tree lined famed Charleston Avenue homes. The tour was well worth the price!
Awesome tour!
