Misleading and unsafe

Lavonia_H, Aug 2026
This entire trip was completely misleading! The “tour” guide discriminated against us from the beginning. He informed is of “ the white people “ were going ro be on a different bus from the rest of us, who were all black. The buses that picked us up were school buses, yes school buses. The music was muffled and there was no air conditioning. The buses take you to the poorest parts of the city. They make you get off at shotgun houses and give you a tour of what we African Americans call a liquor house. They are selling drinks in the back of the house- 10.00 a drink is what someone told me. We then proceeded to a different location, this time a club by the name of Goldy’s. This spot was a complete bust, a hole in the wall playing music and selling drinks. In a a very unsafe location. The next stop was a club. This club was a bit larger but in a unsafe location. We were told at each location , we had to exit the bus. This tour is not safe and we feared for our safety the entire time. Our night ended with a drop off 1 blocks beyond the pickup spot. We had to walk back to spot. This was definitely not safe Viator please remove this tour, it is definitely a misleading and unsafe tour!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience. However, we do want to clarify that the experience you described does not reflect the intent or operation of our tour. Our tours are designed to showcase New Orleans culture, history, music, and locally owned establishments that are part of the communities we visit. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, and we take any allegation of racial discrimination seriously. If something was said or communicated in a way that made you feel uncomfortable, we would have appreciated the opportunity to address it directly during or immediately after the experience. It also sounds like the shared-tour format and certain rules or stops simply were not what you expected. That is exactly why we offer private experiences, where guests have more control over the itinerary and can have a more personalized experience. We also want to point out that our many other guest reviews provide a different perspective on the experience we provide. We respect that every guest may have a different opinion, but we do not believe it is fair to characterize the entire experience as unsafe or misleading based solely on your personal experience. We sincerely hope that on your next visit to New Orleans, you have an experience that better matches what you’re looking for. If you decide to give us another opportunity, we would be happy to offer you a complimentary tour—our recommendation would be to book a private experience so we can better accommodate your expectations. Thank you again for your feedback. We also want to clarify that we utilize multiple types of vehicles for our experiences, including party buses, depending on the tour and group size. Our goal is to give guests an authentic experience while showcasing the culture, history, music, and businesses that make New Orleans unique. When booking a cultural experience like ours, we ask guests to come with an open mind and an understanding that this is about experiencing the city beyond the typical tourist attractions. New Orleans has many different communities, traditions, sounds, and environments that are part of what makes this city special. We understand that this experience may not have been what you expected, but we stand behind the experience we provide and the many guests who have enjoyed it. This the real culture of New Orleans and this is what we showcase over here #TremeLuxuryExperience

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so glad you had a great time with us. We appreciate you mentioning the three bar stops, the music, and the overall experience. While the bus can get a little warm before we get moving—especially during the New Orleans summer—the A/C cools things down nicely once we’re on the road. It was a pleasure having you, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the music, the atmosphere, and the hospitality. Thank you for recommending us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable New Orleans experience!

Wonderful

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re honored that you considered our tour a must-do while visiting New Orleans.

We hope to welcome you back the next time you’re in New Orleans!

Birthday Trip 2026

Elvira_N, Jun 2026
The party bus experience was just that an experience. We had a very good time we were celebrating my friends 55th birthday and it was a high time. If you do decide to do this trip, make sure you do the short black bus instead of the large school bus. The air is a lot better and more space all in all it was a good time.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re excited to hear that your group had an amazing time celebrating such a special milestone—happy 55th birthday to your friend! 🎉 Our goal is to create a fun, unforgettable New Orleans party experience filled with great music, energy, and memories.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the great reminder and for sharing this feedback! We always encourage guests to arrive on time and travel light so the experience can stay smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

Looking forward to having you back with us soon!

A Good time!

You should be at the pickup destination on time with not to much baggage (maybe a cross body or waistline purse). Also your beverage of choice.

0/10 Would not Recommend!!

Sonja_W, Mar 2026
Horrible!! The host was very rude and sassy until the point of us not even doing it!! He was very unprofessional. 0/10 I would not recommend!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re sorry you feel this way, but we want to clarify the situation. This experience has clear policies in place, including no underage guests and maintaining a safe, respectful environment for everyone. In addition, we cannot proceed with any group that appears to be under the influence of drugs or anything that may compromise safety. When these concerns were addressed, the experience could not move forward. We take professionalism and safety very seriously and stand by the decision made. We wish you the best in finding an experience that better fits your needs but to be honest this experience wasn’t the right one for you my love until next time with the correct age group of individuals. ( Spring Break Group )

Hidden Gem

TEISHA_B, Feb 2026
Hollis was the most knowledgeable, professional, fun guide we could have asked for. He knows his way around the city like the back of his hand and handles any situation with solutions and professionalism. I cannot compliment this experience enough.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Wow — thank you so much for this incredible review! It truly means the world to me that you felt the knowledge, professionalism, and fun all wrapped into one experience. That’s exactly what I strive to give every single guest — not just a tour, but a real connection to the city, the culture, and the heartbeat of New Orleans. Being born and raised in Tremé, this isn’t just information for me — it’s lived experience. So when you say I know my way around like the back of my hand, that’s because this is home. And no matter what comes up, we always handle it with solutions and good energy. I’m beyond grateful you chose Treme Luxury Experience. Y’all weren’t just guests — y’all are family now. Come back soon… we’ve got more stories to tell. 💜 — Hollis
