What are people saying about New Orleans

drdariskra, Nov 2026

Enjoyable ride and experience

I loved the hop on hop off bus. Left first thing in the morning and spent most of the day travelling around the city, just looking at the sites. Got off the bus at Jackson Square and looked around a bit, then back on the bus. It started raining mid-afternoon and parkas were handed out. It helped, but we still got wet. There were three different guides who focused on different things through the trip. Good way to get to know the city. it was fun.

Thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. Graham was so knowledgeable, full of fun facts, puns and was super patient with everyone. Great recommendation for the Ghostbuster and took us to some beautifully historic locations on our walk. I have been sharing lots of facts that I learnt on our walk with friends and family back home, they’re keen to come to New Orleans and experience this all for themselves. Highly recommend! Thank you Graham!

This is a wonderful tour...

This is a wonderful tour where we got to try many different foods native to New Orleans from different local restaurants and shops. Our guide Kristi was very personable and enthusiastic and gave us a lot of historical information about both New Orleans and the food, which made the tour very enjoyable. My personal favorite was the muffalata and beignets. Highly recommend!

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure

Erica_G, Nov 2026

Marshmallow kisses

Holy Smokes. We loved this tour. Captain Bobby was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and kisses raccoons and alligators on the lips. Oh, he saves the day when another captain is about ready to abandon ship due to a teeny tiny snake. Captain Bobby tied up to the other boat, crawled around and grabbed the snake and threw it overboard. What a fantastic tour!!!

New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation

juliasO9761WS, Nov 2026

Simply yes! Wildlife & nature perfectly combined

We started in New Orleans with the bus Derek. On the way there was background info and food spot recommendations in the city. Very helpful for us as foodies 😉 Arrive, check in, and then you are already off to the boat. Pleasant group sizes (approx. 16 pax) and you don't have to worry about having a bad seat. You can see equally well from every seat. Cpt. Toni provided us with a lot of info on flora and fauna and answered all questions. You get to see what is promised - raccoons, little pigs, birds, and of course the gators. But be careful: In January and December you cannot see them because the temperatures are too low. I would definitely recommend the tour!

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

Amy_G, Nov 2026

Fantastic preview of a fabulous city

This was a great tour around the city as an overview to check out the historic areas, the homes around the city and learn more about how the city was built, shaped by the cultures of people who live here and the after effects of Hurricane Katrina. This also gave us some ideas for other places we wanted to visit in subsequent days during our trip. We were able to stop for a brief visit to one of the city's cemetaries. The fresh beignets during the park stop didn't hurt either. The motor coach was clean and air conditioned which was nice on a sultry day. The pickup and drop off at our hotel was appreciated. Our tour guide, Gary K, was knowledgable, personable and friendly. You could tell her knew his history and was able to navigate busy streets while sharing a lot of great detail about his home.

So much fun, went in early November there were still a few gators before hibernation. Not to humid. Great weather. I recommend the small premium. We got to feed the gators.

Many facts and knowledge about the area and the wildlife that lives and thrives there. Including the way the community came together to take care and bring back the number of gators in the area.

Chanda_D, Nov 2026

Awesome

Our guide was an older woman who prayed before starting the tour. It was for protection for the tour group and herself. The tour was so informative. This was my second time doing this tour. I didn’t realize how bad the tour guide from last year was until we had Mama Nita this year. So knowledgeable! I have visited New Orleans 9 times now and she gave me new information that I never knew! Loved her and the tour.

We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and especially appreciate him taking such wonderful care of Norma, the horse. It was an unforgettable experience!

After Dark Haunted New Orleans City and Cemetery Bus Tour

Amy_K, Oct 2026

Take this tour. The best night tour in NOLA in my experience.

After a terrible experience on another tour the night before, I was crossing my fingers that this would be better. And it absolutely was. John? The guide was engaging, informative, funny and a wealth of information for this experience. I would recommend it and I would even take this tour again. This tour included a stop for beignets and drinks (and a bathroom) . It's cash only so come prepared, but worth it for a little snack.
