City Tour de Nova Orleans com Pickup

Very easy way to get around in the city, A/C was nice. Joe is very knowledgeable and added humor to the tour.

Well informed tour guide… very comprehensive tour..wish the vehicle had good shock absorbers for the rough roads

Bob was great! He was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of photo ops. He kept the tour fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Bob was amazing! Very knowledgeable and truly enjoyed having him as a tour guide!!! This is definitely one of the best city tours!!!!!

I hate that this tour started out with a late pickup. I don’t know what caused the delay, but waiting an hour for pickup was frustrating. I was, however, his last pickup. The tour started out with blocked streets and trouble seeing anything. But it quickly turned around, and became an informative, educational experience. Bob shared so much history with us, along with houses of the current actors and sports legends. I loved the parks and the history of them. Bob even shared his knowledge about the trees in the City park. We walked through a cemetery, took a break in the park with Cafe du Monde, even got to take pics of a double yard full of very clever skeletons. 😉 And I learned even more about Katrina than I did on a city tour in Biloxi. It’s a shame that his mic wasn’t always working, and the bus rattles so much on the bumpy, rough streets of the city. And even tho a pulldown shade on the bus might inhibit some sight, it would be worth it to block out some of the hot sun on the sunny side of the bus. The nearly 3-hour tour was well worth the money paid. Be sure to tip your driver!

Great tour. Our guide, Bob, was really great. The only thing is we were asked to walk to another hotel for pickup. A little annoying considering we're tourist and don't know the city well. Otherwise recommend the tour.

Bob was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the information he shared on the tour. He was very nice!

Joseph picked everyone up at various hotels around downtown, four stops after us. He was very well informed on the history of New Orleans; how the city was built; hurricane preparedness and aftermath; local architecture; homes and schools. We stopped at one of the local cemeteries (10 minutes to explore), Cafe DuMond in Audubon Park (20 minutes for coffee, beignets, souvenirs), and then we were driven around town to view homes, schools, universities, and churches. Joseph told us about local celebrities (including Nicholaus Cage & Anne Rice) as we drove past their former residences. From pickup to drop off was a little over two & a half hours. Very well done and would do again.

This 2.5 hour tour took a total of 4 hours from door to door, so plan accordingly. Our driver and guide, Bob, was friendly and informative, but seemed to not know the local streets and hotels very well. A lot of time could have been saved with the use of a GPS vs a paper map. We saw areas of the city we never would have otherwise and got some good restaurant recommendations. It was a useful tour but took longer than expected and felt inefficient.

Bob, the driver was very informed, helpful, and accommodating. Some roads were blocked due to the storm, but we learned a lot.
