“My daughter ( who was going to school in New Orleans) and I wanted to get an overview of the city and visit Marie Laveau's burial site. The bus left earlier then scheduled from its pickup point but we were lucky to catch it nearby. The driver/guide had a wonderful creole accent but was very difficult to understand. so the city tour was not enjoyable. We visited A cemetery - but not the one where Laveau was buried so this was OK but in the end pointless. Overall a very disappointing tour.”

“I liked the historical facts our guide told us about the tombs/cemeteries. I liked the music he played. We were talking about that it would be cool to have a disco ball in the bus. lol! I wasn’t disappointed, but I wish that the guides would encourage more of a party atmosphere. Since it was byob, we thought it would be a wild, crazy bus ride. It was good though. We liked it!”
Stroll the Garden District’s classic mansions and view Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 from the gates, guided in a small group for about 2 hours.
“This wasn’t necessarily what we were expecting. Guide spent majority of the tour talking about filming locations or celebrities that currently live in the homes throughout the garden district. Would have loved to understand more about the neighborhoods culture and history. Perhaps while the cemetery is closed this tour would benefit from a shortened time - ie: 1 hour / 1 hour 30 min. At times it felt as though we were just trying to fill time. Overall, it was great to explore a part of the city that we otherwise wouldn’t have traveled to and the guides very dry sense of humor did keep us smiling.”
