If you want to thoroughly explore the city, I suggest taking a walking, bike or Segway tour. A bus tour limits what you can do and where you can go. There were 2 stops - a cemetery and a park. Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. She knows her history! My first visit to the city, I did a Segway tour and it was so fun and informative. I visited all of the neighborhoods and got up close and personal in each area while learning the history. A bus tour will drive by neighborhoods and the guide will tell you a little bit of history. I booked this tour specifically for my cousin because this was her first visit and she’s not an active person. She loved it. I thought it was ok.

This tour is a must for first time visitors, the route takes you through many districts and if you are lucky enough to have Trenise is your driver expertly driven around, you will have an even bigger treat if Jim (with one M - inside joke) is your guide, he was the best, very knowledgeable, funny and captivating, I found myself repeating some of the information he gave during the tour the next day to my husband as we walked or drove around the city. Thank you for a great experience!

I really enjoyed the tour. Jim, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful and engaging the entire time. I mean if you can keep my 10 year old daughter’s attention then you have to be amazing. We learned so much about the history of New Orleans. I recommend this activity to anyone visiting “the Big Easy”! Oh and Dwayne, the bus driver did an excellent job!! Definitely 5 stars!
