Great Experience - The City Tour by bus was so good. Since my husband cannot walk a lot, we were able to see the city, learn more about the culture and people, and get a sense of NOLA life. Scott was our guide. He is very knowledgeable and his love for his city is obvious.

New Orleans City & Cemetery Tour - We took the Cajun Encounters City & Cemetry tour with Butch as our driver & tour director. He was very knowledgeable about the city and talked the entire trip! He provided so much information in such a short period of time. This tour is a must for anyone visiting New Orleans!!!

Ok way to get around the different neighborhoods in August - This is my 3rd time in NOLA and I always do some sort of tour when in the city. I’ve done with walking ghost and city tours within the French Quarter with different companies. Both were excellent and Rich in the complex history of this area. So this time, I wanted to venture out of the FQ.
This is a fine way to explore more of NOLA outside of the French Quarter in August. The AC on the bus is a necessity in the heat. My tour guide unfortunately seemed like a tourist giving a give to other tourists - just pointing out landmarks you’d find on google maps without cohesive, comprehensive, or sometimes even accurate history. I know some things he said were inaccurate or not fleshed out based on my previous tours and friends who live in the area. I might have had a better experience if I had a different guide.
But the tour was worth it to have a 20 min break in the tour to go to 1) an uncrowded Cafe Du Monde if you don’t want to wait in the crowded FQ location and 2) the amazing sculpture garden.
