NOLA Experience

Quick way to learn much about an interesting city. The tour guide Cynthia was great! The driver was also skilled and the bus comfortable.

Nice overview of the city

Took a similar tour seven years ago. Enjoyed this one too. The guide was good, lots of history and information. Visited several of the locations they recommended afterwards.

Brilliant tour

This was a brilliant tour and a great way to see parts of New Orleans you might have missed due to time constraints, we were met at the meeting point by our guide Cynthia who was really friendly, our bus driver Carl was also friendly, Cynthia explained what and where we’d be going and stopping off some Beignets at Cafe du mond, the tour was so informative and the cemetery we stopped at was very interesting, we loved the tour and it’s a must to go on when you’re here.

Revisiting New Orleans with our daughter

Great day one tour for everyone needing an indoctrination or reminder of the history and layout of New Orleans. Tour happens rather quickly and there are only 2 short stops, but that actually adds to the value.
