New Orleans hop on hop off ride

The coach air conditioning was not up to par on lower level. It was very hot in New Orleans. Tour Guide was excellent

Great way to see Nola

It was a great way to see New Orleans instead of walking in the heat. Very easy to get off all the stops and get back on. Buses stop every half hour. The guides very very knowledgeable and funny.

Experience was ok

I was very easy to book this excursion. Hopping off and on was a breeze- the landmark signs were very helpful in figuring out where to hop back o again. I really enjoyed the first narrator however, when they switched off, it was very noticeable that customer service had severely declined.

They were down buses so...

They were down buses so we had to wait quite awhile to get picked up to start tour. The travel narrator was very informative.

Hop on hop off buses

They advertise buses run 25 min apart but actually run 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min apart. Expect bus when they do come to be crowded. Definitely not as advertised.
