Great Experience!

The Hop-On Hop-Off is the way to tour the city. They're very organized, easy to find the stop number and the staff is friendly and professional. We had Ellroy as a driver, he was excellent - I hope he's driving your bus. It was a great way to see the lay out of the city. Get the 3-day pass because it includes a walking tour in the Gardens District and a walking tour of Jackson Square.

Great way to get around...

Great way to get around the city, learn about the history and see places that we want to visit on our own

Our friends group trip

The hop on hop off trolley is a wonderful way to see New Orleans, learn the history and get around easy. We did the garden walk tour and our guide Sam was very fun and informative. I would highly recommend doing this at least 1 day and 2 days would be better! Enjoy

Good tour

Tour was very nice, but the tour guy for the walking tour in the Garden District never came, so I, [and other people too] took a walking tour by myself.

Mixed experience

We a a mixed experience! Our first leg was great, Jonathan was a great guide ! Our return trip was miserable. Air Conditioning was not working, with the outside temp at 92 ! The inside of the bus was a sauna. The tour operators should have taken the bus off the line.
