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.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad Jonathan provided a great experience during the first part of your tour, and we appreciate your kind words about him. We’re sorry the return portion of your experience fell short of expectations and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

A must do tour
The Garden District tour was fantastic. Our guide, Paige, was very knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to have as our tour guide. We learned about the history, the architecture and much more. This tour with Paige is a must do.
Operator response
Hi Patti, thank you for the fantastic review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Garden District tour and that Paige made the experience so informative and enjoyable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her, and we appreciate the recommendation!

Nice way to see the city
The air could have worked much better inside the bus. Announcing that the bus is getting ready to leave when at the depot would have been nice for those inside shopping or using the restroom.. Knowledgeable staff shading there hoagie and fun facts of NOLA

Got the job done
We enjoyed our experience while on the bus. The drivers and guides were great and informative. However the app wasn’t setup for New Orleans to be able to track when the next bus was coming. This resulted in long wait times for the next bus and wasted time.

Great tour guide and driver
The tour guide and driver were great. Bus 201 wasn’t great though because the air conditioning wasn’t working in the bus and it was very uncomfortable.

A great way to see the city on a budget! The live presenters are a refreshing plus. The covered top is a great addition to the protect from direct sunlight and incidental rains.
