Great Tour - This tour was long enough to get all of the historical facts about the city. But not too long that it takes up your whole day. It had 2 significant stops that allowed for good pictures.
Our guide (Gary K.) was very knowledgeable and culturally relevant. He presented historical facts while not making you feel like you’re in a lecture.
He was a good driver and did a great job of narrating while navigating.
The bus was cool and comfortable. But no water was provided so bring your own drinks or wait for the stop to purchase.

Amazing Experience - Gary K was very knowledgeable about his city, he highlighted a lot of famous homes, buildings, and cemeteries while referring to movies and shows for a better understanding. I absolutely loved the tour and I will most certainly recommend this tour to my friends and family. Gary is also very humorous so be prepared to laugh and have a good time.

Exactly what we were looking for, a tutorial of New Orleans - This tour was the perfect mix of historical sightseeing, sightseeing of pop culture locations, and a tale of how the city came to be. Seeing the levees and locks in person while hearing about hurricane Katrina's devastation was very moving. Seeing the houses so far down below the water level of the river punctuated the unique situation New Orleans is in. This was a great way to get an overview of the important parts of the city.

Lots of riding not a lot of spots to visit - Overall enjoyed this tour, but it needed to be shorted somehow. We felt we spent too much time getting to a destination for a 10 minutes stop. Our guide was very friendly.
