It was a great experience. We got to learn a lot about the city and the history and tour possibilities.
We started late but got on a bus before end time. At the 4th stop, the driver said we had to get off, he was done for the day and the last bus for the day was right in front of us and we could get on. They drove off before anybody got off the bus.
Using the hop-on-hop-off bus makes touring nearly care free. Instead of pondering, “Where do we go?” “How do we get there?” “What should we do when we get there?” It’s all done for you. You just find the bus stop and hop on, sit back, listen to the guide, and hop off when something interests you. Be sure to opt for the walking tours and the two- or three-pass is also a deal. Guides (Jonathan, Dustin, and Steve) and drivers were also very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly
My husband and I had the best time on the Hop on Hop Off Bus. We had tour guide Sam and driver Gary. They were both wonderful. Gary was very nice when we got on and off and Sam was very knowledgeable and funny. I suggest you stay on the bus and do a complete loop around then get off where you want to go. Today we are doing the 2nd day of the Hop on and off part of the trip.
This is a great way to see the city. Either stay on for a quick 2 hour drive around the city with history and commentary as you go or plan a couple of days and get off at each stop to really immerse yourself in the city. We've traveled to NOLA multiple times and have used this when we're traveling with people who haven't been before. It's not as cheap as the cable cars which are $1.25 to ride (less for kids and seniors) or with the $3 Jazzy Pass that you can buy on your phone or pick up at any local Walgreens, but the added commentary helps orient you and gives a great alternative to a walking tour.
Linda Demetra was an exceptional guide!! Very knowledgeable & entertaining!! Interesting facts in her presentation...
Great way to see the city!! Knowledgeable tour guides, get to see the entire city! Multiple stops to explore!
Each guide had different fun facts about the city. Upper deck was the best for viewing and not having to do a bunch of walking... However I would do the French quarter and garden district walking tours! Worth the money for sure.
The Hop-On Hop-Off is the way to tour the city. They're very organized, easy to find the stop number and the staff is friendly and professional. We had Ellroy as a driver, he was excellent - I hope he's driving your bus. It was a great way to see the lay out of the city. Get the 3-day pass because it includes a walking tour in the Gardens District and a walking tour of Jackson Square.
Great way to get around the city, learn about the history and see places that we want to visit on our own
Tour was very nice, but the tour guy for the walking tour in the Garden District never came, so I, [and other people too] took a walking tour by myself.
Pleasant professional drivers and narrators. Used the hop on hop off for two days of transportation and it worked out really well..
The air could have worked much better inside the bus. Announcing that the bus is getting ready to leave when at the depot would have been nice for those inside shopping or using the restroom.. Knowledgeable staff shading there hoagie and fun facts of NOLA
Great way to start a visit to a busy town. Guides do a great job of giving you insight to the areas.
We enjoyed our experience while on the bus. The drivers and guides were great and informative. However the app wasn’t setup for New Orleans to be able to track when the next bus was coming. This resulted in long wait times for the next bus and wasted time.
The tour guide and driver were great. Bus 201 wasn’t great though because the air conditioning wasn’t working in the bus and it was very uncomfortable.
Great way to see the city and determine what you want to see and don't. The tour guides are knowledgeable and add humor to the tour.
It was a great way to get a good feel for New Orleans. The tour leaders were great and the folks on the BUs PA were fantastic.
A great way to see the city on a budget! The live presenters are a refreshing plus. The covered top is a great addition to the protect from direct sunlight and incidental rains.
It’s a great way to acclimate to NOLA. There’s nothing like Southern hospitality and being educated on the history of NOLA and the plethora of landmarks. It was disappointing to discover certain stops were closed due to the Essence Festival, in 90 degree heat + humidity. I’ll map it out better the next time.
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.
Lot of fun but I wish the ride went longer than 530pm. Overall, well worth it and I would recommend it to anyone
Johnathan and Barry were awesome. There was a medical situation and we had to switch buses and they kept everyone calm and it was smooth and we kept on moving!
Great time very informative Great way to see everything and not get lost. Two day tour allows you to plan your next day accordingly.
The best way to get around the city is to hop on and off. Our tour guide, Jamie, and Lita were very knowledgeable.
Easy way to see the area and hop on and off where you wanted to go. Guides were very knowledgeable .
Covers the city’s highlights well, but also crowded. Go in the morning. Garden District tour guide started 15 minutes late and was exhausted from doing so many tours back to back.
The guides were excellent and informed, the bus drivers were safe, and the route was excellent. I felt that we got a good combination of transportation and information over the two days that we had the past.
Tour guides did a good job explaining the sites. Nice way to view the city, only down side for us was the weather!
Wonderful drivers and tour guides. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Was a Lovely way to see the city.
