Great history - This is a great Tour to do at the beginning of you trip. It shows you so many different areas. It's a great way to help you decide what you want to go back and spend more time at.

Great Time - Was in town for a conference and booked this tour to learn a little more about New Orleans. Sean was our guide, and Aaran was the driver. We had a great time. Sean was really engaging and very informative about the history of New Orleans. He also took the time to recommend places to visit after the tour. Highly recommend.

Great tour if you're familiar with New Orleans - There’s a lot of information packed into a short time, so I think this tour is perfect for someone already familiar with New Orleans (4/5). I’ve visited several times. My friend, a first-time visitor, felt the tour was overwhelming and that it included too much information in such a short time (3/5). She was hoping to learn more about Hurricane Katrina's impact impact on Ward 9 and felt the tour didn’t really cover it.

Tour guide was disappointing - My husband and I had gone on this tour 3yrs ago and had a pleasant experience, a knowledgeable tour guide who was also engaging and warm, and this time we signed up we were joined by our travel companions, another couple. This time the driver yelled (instead of using a microphone or headset) all of the information. We sat up front to get a good view but regretted that decision. Our ears were ringing by the end of the tour. As well, the tour guide was rude and insulting when we made small talk to be friendly.
