Cynthia’s Amazing Tour

This was a part of my younger brother’s 40th birthday trip to Nee Orleans. He and I along with our cousin throughly enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was exceptional and the driver was kinda cute. The tour guide Cynthia was a font of knowledge that flowed seamlessly from one location to the other. I loved that she was open to questions and infused her local experiences with the tour. I took notes and adopted a plan to always do a tour first whenever I visit a city. You see so much and can really get a sense of the places you want to visit from the tour. It was great, Informative and entertaining. The air condition was also very helpful. This was definitely a highlight.

Whitney Plantation Tour with Transportation from New Orleans

Misty_A, Aug 2026

Experience The Horrors of Slavery, Then Hold A Baby Alligator

I know it sounds odd. A tour of a former slave plantation followed by a swamp ride in the Cajun bayou, but if you’re into history like I am, and want to see live gators, this tour is for you. . Dionne and the driver did a magnificent job making us feel comfortable, with Dionne being quite knowledgeable of NOLA’s history. We stopped by that “pretty little plantation down the road” for lunch, which after seeing Whitney, was weird and gross. The swamp ride was pretty taxing in 96-degree heat, and the tour guide could have piped it down a notch, but I enjoyed seeing the wildlife, and holding an alligator!

New Orleans City Tour: French Quarter, Garden District & Cemetery

Jim_T, Aug 2026

Amazing tour, informative and entertaining!

This was an informative and entertaining look at The Big Easy. We learned much about the effects of Katrina that we thought we already knew, and Gary was an outstanding tour guide. We was professional, funny, and very well informed. He made the tour worthwhile. Pro tip: take this tour early in your visit to New Orleans - you will learn a lot about what the 'don't miss' things are in the city.

Soul of New Orleans City Tour: Enslavement to Modern Day Culture

Charlotte_H, Aug 2026

Soulful Tour of New Orleans

The Tour guide, Dennis was so knowledgeable about the African American history, culture and influences of New Orleans. This is not a tour you can do independently. You must have professional, knowledgeable people who have a compassion to share information that is not in the history books.

City Tour of New Orleans with Pickup

Linel_N, Aug 2026

Tony was great guide and driver

There are only two stops on the tour but the driver (Tony) was willing to make other stops, when possible, to take photos. The driver was great. Very informed with a good sense of humor. The tour did run longer than advertised but luckily it didn’t upset my plans. I would recommend this tour. Good value for the money. Don’t forget to have some cash on hand for a tip well deserved.

Cemetery and Ghost BYOB Bus Tour in New Orleans

Jose_C, Jul 2026

Great tour must do if you dont want to walk much

I had a lot of fun on this tour. The guide was fun, enjoyable, knowledgeable. We stopped for beignets and they allowed us to bring drinks on the bus. I stopped off at a bar at the meet up point and paid $40 for 2 LARGE RUM PUNCH And it was great!! It held me down the entire tour. Its 10/10!

After Dark Haunted New Orleans City and Cemetery Bus Tour

Tomoyo_U, Jul 2026

Dignity for the Deads

Best educational cemetery tour. Visited Odd Fellow cemetery and Charity Hospital cemetery (front gate) which are most unique ones in town. Former funeral director and a big paranomalist, Geoff’, guide, shared his deep knowledge of cemeteries in NOLA and respect to each person who rests in the cemetery. I wish the tour was longer to hear more of his story. We did 0930 tour. It was cooler in summer. Ok to bring drinks on the bus. Bathroom break in a middle. Definitely recommend. If possible, watch a movie, “Big Charity” before going to the tour.

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure with Transportation

Natalie_H, Jul 2026

Go see the gators!

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly! Pick up and drop off was seamless, and the driver was very personable. Despite the rainy weather, we were still able to enjoy the tour and see plenty of alligators. We were even able to hold the cutest baby gator on our boat, which was owned by our instructor (hi Fluffy!). Would absolutely recommend as a relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

Elliot & Logan 5 🌟 duo!

We were on the bus with Logan & Ellroy and they were awesome we had a family that was very disrespectful to Logan and cussing him out and disrupting the tour. He very professionally ask them to step off that bus but they are more than welcome to get on another bus. It was so professionally the bus erupted with applauds. They really do care that you enjoy the hop on hop off tour. They willing to answer any questions about New Orleans that you ask. The knowledge is amazing and they want you to have fun and feel like you got more than your money worth.

It’s a great way to see...

It’s a great way to see the city sights if you’re here for the first time and have only 3-4 days like myself. I like that you have a Bus Host who gives a commentary as we move along instead of ear phones. It would have been a perfect ride if it wasn’t for the rain though LOL but take it all in your stride and have fun!
