Bus never slows or stops for sights.
Unfortunately, we could not go into the French Quarter due to street construction. The guide was informative, however, by the time he called out a location to see we were already passing it. No way to get a good look at it let alone get a picture. The bus NEVER slowed or stopped for anything the guide pointed out. It was very frustrating. We did stop and get out at a cemetery which was cool. We would not recommend this bus tour.

Great Way To See The City
There were people in our tour who had never witnessed New Orleans so this tour offered them a chance to experience the different areas of the City. There were people in our group who have been coming to New Orleans for years and did not know that Ruby Bridges desegrated a school in New Orleans. We got to see the steps! It was a beautiful moment.
