Bus Tour of NOLA for 1st timers & Returners

This was a comfortable, informative trip through parts of NOLA you normally wouldn't travel. Our guide told us lots of history & things we would of never heard elsewhere. The cemetery was neat although I hoping it was Mary Laveau's. The guide dropped everyone off as close as she could to their destination whixh was really convenient! I would recommend for anyone who loves to travel, sightsee, or history people.

Great tour

We had a great tour with Karen as our driver and guide. She was full of great information about the areas we drove through and stopped where possible for us to get photos. The coffee stop at City Park was also great (the Cafe Du Monde there is better than the French Quarter one). The two hours flew by and I would recommend Karen to anyone.

Have just finished a tour with Butch. Very knowledgeable guide and we visited so many more areas of New Orleans than just the French Quarter. Recommended.

First Timers to NOLA

What a great way to see and learn about New Orleans, especially for us first time visitors! Pick-up was convenient, the route was well planned and executed, and our guide, Karen, was both funny and a wealth of knowledge. My attention was kept the entire two-hour tour. This was a terrific experience - highly recommend!
