3 hour City Tour

The tour was fantastic ! The ride was comfortable and pleasant . We saw many beautiful sites. Would highly recommend this tour. (Posted on 4/27/2017)

We chose this tour of New Orleans because our cruise ship docked early in the day and our flight didn't leave until late afternoon so it gave us a great opportunity to learn more about the City. Stephen was very helpful when I called the office. Our driver/tour guide, Gary Kuhn, did an excellent job of sharing his knowledge of New Orleans and pointing out the many highlights. The mini-bus was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour and this company. (Posted on 4/25/2017)

Great tour, lots of info. My only complaint is that you cannot actively take pictures as you are inside a bus. This is balanced with the fact that you do not have to worry about weather conditions. We really enjoyed this tour. Thank you. (Posted on 4/4/2017)

The driver picked us up in a wonderful limo bus that was comfortable and just the right temperature. He was a native of NOLA and knew everything! I learned a ton! Would highly recommend this tour! (Posted on 4/4/2017)

Not only was the tour and tour guide very informative, but the company was very good at meeting our needs when booking the tour. Would recommend this company and tour to anyone. (Posted on 3/30/2017)

Excellent city tour! Our guide did an excellent job narrating the history and background of the highlights of New Orleans. He was very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. The bus was clean and visibility was great. Highly recommend the 3 hour tour! (Posted on 3/30/2017)

My husband and two adult daughters took this tour in March. Our driver and guide was very interesting and informative! It is a tour I would highly recommend to anyone interested in catching some of the highlights of New Orleans. (Posted on 3/30/2017)

Fantastic service! Pick up and drop off location flexibility! Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guides! Highly recommend this company for your NOLA tours! (Posted on 2/27/2017)

We all loved the tour. the only suggestion I would have is a better microphone system that is clearer. Sometimes it was hard to hear what the was being said. (Posted on 12/26/2016)

It was a very knowledgeable tour - David our guide gave us a lot of insights. One more comment - David talks really fast, and sometimes its hard to understand him. But overall a great tour. (Posted on 11/29/2016)

Doug our guide was quite knowledgeable. Funny and good advice in restaurants. Van was clean and comfortable. Just would like to have made a couple of stops for pictures. Maybe a little less time for bathroom break. (Posted on 11/7/2016)

I have taken tours in severalcities and I would rate this second best of all of them. Very informative and pleasant guide (Posted on 10/26/2016)

This was an amazing tour! Gary, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable in the history of New Orleans and shared the information with the group. It was the first visit to New Orleans for my daughter and myself and we would recommend this tour to all visitors of New Orleans. A Great Time! (Posted on 10/19/2016)

We loved our city tour. I think our driver's name was Darrin, and he did great commentary. We really appreciated the views he gave us of his old neighborhood post-Katrina, and of the levee work and pumping stations. We really enjoyed City Park, too, and that was our only opportunity to see that part of time--that was true of Louis Armstrong Park, too. We appreciated the hotel pick-up, and the drop-off at the French market near our next activity (Posted on 10/14/2016)

Our guide was excellent and informative. We loved the tour. The only disappointment was the description still shows the tour goes to the 9th ward, when apparently that ceased a year ago. Other than that it was fabulous. Thank you (Posted on 8/16/2016)

The tour was very informative and the narrator was great. (Posted on 7/28/2016)

Very disappointed that the only stop on this tour was the cemetery, which was good. However we did stop at City Park but we didn't have time to walk around, which we would have loved to do.
Our tour guide was very good. If you have a car (like we did), don't take this tour. You can drive around town the same as the tour. (Posted on 7/26/2016)

Great Tour and the Tour Driver was great and very knowledge. Every tourist should take the city tour learn so much about the city. (Posted on 7/19/2016)

I scheduled this tour for my family group of 10 last week. Our driver/guide was excellent and we really enjoyed his local perspective on the history and especially the area that was so hard hit by Katrina. That was one of the main things that I wanted to learn about and try to understand. I highly recommend this tour. (Posted on 6/12/2016)

Tour was Ok. Guide was very pleasant but very difficult to understand and didn't go into much detail e.g about the history of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. When we had a break at the park - there were so many school trips and an extremely long queue so we were unable to get refreshments and the promised beignets. Perhaps you should pre book with the caterers?? Have had better tours of new Orleans. (Posted on 6/9/2016)

This tour was well worth the money. We saw so much of the city and learned so much as well. The driver was great. He was very informative and yet not overbearing. Loved this tour! (Posted on 5/29/2016)

The tour was absolutely amazing and completely exceeded my expectations. (Posted on 5/1/2016)

Our tour guide was an incredible wealth of knowledge! His dialogue really helped to understand what we were seeing. (Posted on 3/16/2016)

Loved the tour. Our driver Andy was great. So knowledgeable of the city. We had the smaller bus and he was able to take us to some great places. Enjoyed every minute! (Posted on 3/16/2016)

Great overview of the city. We saw parts of the city that we probably wouldn't have done on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable & we enjoyed his commentary. At the end we were dropped back at our rental which was very convenient. It was well worth the cost. (Posted on 3/15/2016)

Great service pick up on time. booked via internet one day before tour.
The tour was very informative and gave a good overview of NOLA (Posted on 3/15/2016)

The tour guide was great! He took us all around explaining everything. (Posted on 2/23/2016)

Was excellent & guide was very interesting. Well worth every $. Learned alot about New Orleans. (Posted on 2/2/2016)

Gary was an excellent tour guide! He gave us exactly what we were looking for as a way to see and appreciate the amazing city of New Orleans! Gary was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and made us feel safe. I have and I will recommend the New Orleans Tour Company (Posted on 2/1/2016)

This particular tour was recommend to us by family members; was great. We had recommended to friends & family.
Tour guide operator was wonderful; extremely knowledgeable.
Enjoyable experience. (Posted on 1/16/2016)

The tour was wonderful and educational. Our tour guide was great! Kudos to your team. We will definitely use you on a return visit. There is much more to see in your beautiful city. (Posted on 12/1/2015)

Should have been called the Katrina tour. Not what we expected and was a very long 3 hours. Based on the description and reviewed it sounded like a great way to learn about the city our first day in town. Instead we spent very little time in stress and didn't really learn anything about the history out current atmosphere of these areas. Would not recommend this tour. (Posted on 11/29/2015)

Tour was thorough and informative. However, we were given a pickup time of 8:30 - 9:00 in our email confirmation when we paid for our tour online. I called at 9:15 and was told the pickup time was 9:30-10:00. Bus arrived at 10:00. We had been waiting 1 1/2 hours by this time. Driver also had no record of our online payment. When I mentioned the discrepancy in the pickup time I was informed that I had booked our tour through a different tour company and had been switched to this company. All without my knowledge. An email would have been nice rather than waiting an extra 1 1/2 hours on a rainy morning. Also, "Peaches", our driver attempted to make jokes when giving the history of the burial tombs in St. Louis Cemetary. I felt that was very inappropriate. (Posted on 11/7/2015)

We took the 3 hour city tour and enjoyed it immensely. David, our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, polite, an excellent tour guide. Took us to a fair representation of the city's high and low points. We were picked up and dropped back at our hotel, making it easy to participate .Well worth the money (Posted on 9/8/2015)

This tour was the best one we took in New Orleans! Our guide, Gary, was wonderful and informative. We went all over the City and really combined sight-seeing with history. My group of 5 really liked the small bus and we enjoyed stopping at City Park, seeing the Ninth Ward and Garden District. I would highly recommend this tour! (Posted on 9/2/2015)

Very professional, entertaining and educational. Highly recommend. (Posted on 8/4/2015)

The guide was funny and knowledgeable! Awesome tour! Would have liked the cemetery part a bit longer to look at some of the more elaborate tombs. (Posted on 7/28/2015)

Great tour guide . He made the tour fun, interesting and informative. (Posted on 6/29/2015)

It was a great trip - comfortable transportation and the guide was excellent. It is definitely a tour to take while in New Orleans. (Posted on 6/9/2015)

A very informative and moving three hours. Greg the tour guide was fantastic and it was easy to tell how much he loves his city. He has a great accent and has a great sense of humour. We learnt a lot about New Orleans and really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to others. (Posted on 5/14/2015)

Bus came 20 minutes late, did nt have seating for 3 hours that my wife and I could even sit together
tour ended short (Posted on 5/3/2015)

The itinerary was well organized and well executed. the guide was absolutely the best! His commentary was informative and humorous: we learned a lot. Thanks so much for an excellent tour experience. (Posted on 4/23/2015)

We had Gary as our tour guide. He was excellent . He had Interrsting Stories to tell and was very knowledgeable about the city. Would definitely recommend. He even picked us up in Metairie for our AM tour and we explored the city on our own for the PM then took us back to hotel in Metairie . Saved us the hassle of finding out way into the city. (Posted on 4/21/2015)

We enjoyed this tour very much. Flew into NOLA and took a cab to the place we rented in the French Quarter. So this was a way to see a nice sampling of the rest of the city with a lot of history thrown in. (Posted on 4/21/2015)

We enjoyed the tour. It gave us a good overview of New Orleans, and our Driver/Guide was very good. Unfortunately it rained for most of it, so we did not make stops, and was unable to take any decent pictures which I would have other wise. However I would definitely recommend it to other visitors. (Posted on 4/21/2015)

Even though my reservation had the hotel AND street name on it, I got a call at 2:00pm (for a 2:00pm tour - waiting since 1:30pm) to find out what hotel to pick us up from...........hmmmm. Someone wasn't looking at the reservation. There was an issue picking up some other folks as well so the tour started off a little delayed. But the tour guide made up for it by going past the 5:00pm return . He did check with all of us first to be sure that was OK. The tour guide was very 'colorful' and entertaining. He had a vast knowledge of the area and lots of laminated copies of items for us to review. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good overall view of the New Orleans area -- French Quarter, 9th Ward, Garden District. (Posted on 4/21/2015)

I really enjoyed this bus tour of New Orleans. Our bus driver was very knowledgeable about the city. This is a great way to see the highlights of New Orleans.

The only part that was frustrating was the beginning. The bus picks you up from your hotel (which is a great plus). Finding the bus/bus driver was difficult. The bus is not clearly marked with the touring company's name, which made looking for the bus hard.

Overall great experience, glad I went on the tour! (Posted on 4/21/2015)

Our driver and guide was David for our 10:00 am city tour on Mon., March 30, 2015. He was professional, courteous, humorous and what impressed me most was his sincere enthusiasm as he described the sights. Although I had some difficulty at times understanding David's repetitive style of speaking, his enthusiasm and great knowledge of the city and its history made for a worthwhile, interesting and entertaining tour. Lastly, the mini-coach bus we rode was very clean and comfortable. (Posted on 4/21/2015)

Very informative tour. Comfortable, driver was very nice! We took some family members from out of town and they really enjoyed it. (Posted on 4/8/2015)

What a fabulous luxury experience to see the best of this great city. Lovely small bus and a great speaker to see the sights. Do NOT mess with the big bus tours when you can have such a wonderful personal experience with real professionals. (Posted on 4/7/2015)

We had a great time on the tour - valuable information that helped us decide what to do and where to go the rest of our stay. Enjoyed the local info the driver/tour guide provided. (Posted on 3/26/2015)

Your tour was wonderful! Chris was very informative and funny too! I have learned so much about your beautiful city, history, architecture and much more. Thank you! (Posted on 3/19/2015)

We were ostensibly on a three hour tour that lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes. We were not informed that we were not going to the Garden District until after the tour started. (Posted on 3/18/2015)

Great tour, especially on a cold and dreary day! Tour guide was excellent. We felt we really got the pulse of the city. (Posted on 3/10/2015)

Or driver guide was very articulate and entertaining. The stops of interest were actually very interesting. He kept us engaged while revealing lovely and fascinating info and scenes to us. We loved it! (Posted on 3/10/2015)

David the tour guide was great and provided a wealth of information during the city tour. The only down side to the tour was that there was too much time touring the areas where Hurricane Katrina hit. To replace that part maybe have a tour of City Hall or the port of New Orleans. (Posted on 2/10/2015)

What a perfect tour, our guide spoke French so was able to answer many of our questions. Wonderful afternoon, thank you (Posted on 1/27/2015)

Driving, narration, friendliness, humor, and education all incorporated into driver David's demeanor. Absolutely awesome experience; I love someone who loves what they're doing and, in David's case, the city in which he's doing it. What a lovefest! (Posted on 1/19/2015)

David was our tour driver. As a native, his personal accounts resonated with us. He was excellent, very knowledgeable, pleasant to talk with and a very good driver. We came away with an even greater appreciation for the city and people of New Orleans, and a better understanding of their rich history and the trauma of Katrina. There were four of us in our group and we all agreed the tour is a perfect way to see the city, save your feet, be comfortable and gain an excellent over view of the city for more in depth exploration. Having never been to New Orleans we found the content of the tour to be very interesting and informative. (Posted on 1/14/2015)

Great tour. At times hard to understand tour guide. Overall, great! (Posted on 12/9/2014)

The tour and tp I r guide was fine. I was disappointed that therected wasn't more french quarter. (Posted on 12/9/2014)

My girlfriends and I took this tour recently. We all had mixed reviews. Some of it we liked, and other parts, not some much. Our driver was quite a character who went on and on and sometimes left us with the distinct impression that he was not telling the truth. The worst part of the tour however, was the stop at the old man's house with the homemade museum. It was awful, and we couldn't believe this was actually a site on a paid tour. I think this guy was actually a friend of the driver whom he just wanted to go visit. I really don't think I would recommend this tour to anyone that I liked. (Posted on 10/7/2014)

Tour was very informative of the areas and especially how the hurricane Katrina affected areas and life. (Posted on 9/30/2014)

Great trip around town with an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide and driver! (Posted on 8/11/2014)

Spent too time in 9th quarter Driver cleared his throat constantly it is hard to follow a person with constant clearing (Posted on 7/3/2014)

The tour was excellent and our driver was wonderful. He had a great sense of humor, was caring toward all of his passengers and was very knowledgeable about the New Orleans. The bus was comfortable...a/c worked great and the seats were too! Highly recommend this tour company. (Posted on 5/28/2014)

This was a perfect tour.
Our bus driver/historian was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
The trip was just perfect length and gave you a wonderful overview of the entire city
It showed you places that you had to go back and visit more and entertain you with those other places you will not have time for.
All around great value for money and time spent. (Posted on 5/21/2014)

This tour is a first day must for visitors to New Orleans. It is very comprehensive and our guide was outstanding. You get the lay of the land and helps you determine where you want to go and do the rest of your trip (Posted on 4/23/2014)

The driver/guide was very personable, helpful and well informed. He was down to earth and seemed to enjoy his job. (Posted on 4/21/2014)

Comfortable, comprehensive, and completely tour. David is full of the history, the culture, the day-to-day doings of New Orleans and shares the information with humor and deep sense of high regard for the city and it's residents. We learned so much and recommend this tour to all. Many thanks. (Posted on 4/20/2014)

Great tour of New Orleans. Thought that 3 hours might be too long but the driver was so knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable, the time passed quickly. I would highly recommend this tour for a thorough overview of the city and an amazing explanation of how and why Katrina devastated the area. (Posted on 4/10/2014)

Very informative; driver nice and friendly, but a bit repetitive in his delivery of info. (Posted on 4/9/2014)

The tour was great and our driver was friendly and knowledgable. I thought we spent to much time in the 9th ward, personally. The big complaint is the second half of our tour we had a heater on at our feet and were sweating. We were 3/4 the way back, on the bus. It was cooler outside than in the bus. When the driver took people to their hotels, we moved forward to the front of the bus and we were cooler again. We thought the whole bus was warmer, not just our area. OH WELL! We had fun and a beignet with powder sugar....YUMMY!!!! (Posted on 4/9/2014)

This was our first visit to New Orleans and the tour was great to get to see a lot of the city and learn about some history of New Orleans. The tour guide was knowledgeable. It was nice being picked up and dropped off at our hotel. (Posted on 4/8/2014)

David did an excellent job in furnish us with insights and information. We had been on a similar tour before (with another company) and David brought a lot of facts which were previously unknown to us. He interspersed enough humor make the tour most interesting and fun. (Posted on 4/8/2014)

This tour was one of the best city tours we have taken anywhere. The driver/ guide was excellent and had a very nice way in getting himself across to all on the tour. If I get back to New Orleans in the future I will definitely do the city tour again. (Posted on 4/8/2014)

The tour was very good. The bus driver was very informative, pleasant & was very patient. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
Thank you (Posted on 4/8/2014)

We felt this was an excellent tour, and the driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the city and the sites we viewed. He also was very informative about Hurricane Katrina, it's devastation, and the progress made by the city in "coming back." We felt it was a great value. (Posted on 3/29/2014)

Had an excellent time! Tour guides are very friendly and have vast knowledge of New Orleans. (Posted on 3/27/2014)

Because we live in South Mississippi, we have been to New Orleans many times. Although we always enjoy our trips, we never really knew the history behind the city. This tour was a fun and relaxing way to learn more about the city. I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether you are a frequent visitor or new to the city. (Posted on 3/27/2014)

Excellent tour. Tour guide was very informative. Visited New Orleans with another couple originally from Europe and India. Bus was comfortable and city park was a treat. We have been to New Orleans at least 12 times . First tour. Your tour is highly recommended. (Posted on 3/27/2014)

Great tour, wonderful guide....wish we took it the first day we arrived. (Posted on 3/27/2014)

The tour covered many areas of New Orleans which we appreciated. However, the tour guide was ill, coughing and sneezing throughout the tour. Also we were told when we booked that there would be a small bus with approx. 12 tourists. We had approx. 27 on the bus. (Posted on 12/3/2013)

Took a tour with Dave this afternoon and it was great! I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the city. (Posted on 12/2/2013)

If you want a very informative tour of New Orleans, please do this tour! It was the best tour ever. Our tour guide was Eugene. We loved him!! He had so much knowledge and was so funny and personable! I would do this tour again, but only with Eugene. (Posted on 11/20/2013)

a great way to see a bit of everything; the tour guide was very informative, and quite pleasant; (Posted on 11/12/2013)

I would highly recommend this tour. It was relaxing, informative. The tour guide was very pleasant, ready to answers questions and very personable. Definitely a must if you are planning to visit NO. (Posted on 9/24/2013)

We took the three hour city tour on our last day in NOLA. We wanted an verview of our experience and thought this would be a great way to recap. The tour was excellent! Our Tour Guide "Eugene" was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable out NOLA. He was humorous at times and very compassionate about this beloved city. We learned soo much about the history, culture, and architecture. With so much to see, the three hour tour is perfect. I highly recommend it. (Posted on 3/27/2013)

Took the 2 hour tour with 4 people Please msake sure you get Henry as the driver/guide. This tour was the highlight of our week (which was Mardi Gras week). Loved everything he did and he knew the entire hood.

Only beef was that we didn't out of the bus more not did we tour the Garden District as musch as we could have but this man will make your day!

So worth the $40 per person (and we were 4 people).

Bravo again to Henry! (Posted on 2/19/2013)

make sure your trip includes Henri as the tour guide. It was the highlight of our trip and this was during Mardi Gras!.

He is the most informed and funniest tour guide I have had the pleasure of meeting!

Tour pickup location was good (not quite the main entrance of the Omni Royal Crescent) but he actually had the courtesy of texting me he was about 6 minutes away.

Well worth the price!

Don't expect to get out of the bus much though to look around. (Posted on 2/19/2013)

This 3-hour city tour was amazing! I took the tour on the first day of my vacation, and it was the perfect introduction to New Orleans! I don’t know if you can request a specific tour guide when booking this tour, however, I would highly suggest that when you take this tour, you ask for “D” as your guide – she was extremely knowledgeable, very charismatic, and funny! Her stories and firsthand experience of growing up in New Orleans, and surviving Katrina, offered an invaluable perspective on life in New Orleans. It was a real pleasure having her guide us through all the various neighbourhoods. I highly recommend this tour!!! (Posted on 1/7/2013)

We were picked up at our hotel right on time by Eugene. The tour was actually over three hours because we asked questions and Eugene took the time to answer all of them. He was a great guide and very knowledgeable. The tour took us through the Garden District, downtown, French Quarter and the area hit hardest by Katrina, the 9th Ward. Wonderful tour and I would definitely do it again! (Posted on 9/27/2012)

Our family of four took the tour with Jason being our driver/tour guide. He was great!! Not only did he give us such a great history on New Orleans and all the areas we visited but he was entertaining. He also gave us great information on places to eat and to visit. Also getting to stop while touring the Make It Right area and buying pralines from a resident was definitely a highlight, they were delicious. We will definitely recommend NOLA Tour Center to all of our friends and will use them again anytime we are in this area. Thanks!! (Posted on 6/12/2012)

Wonderful tour!! Dino our tour guide was fabulous!! I will recommend this tour to all my friends (Posted on 6/3/2012)

Great Tour with a very informative John as our tour guide. Comprehensive city tour with information on the rebuild after Katrina. John explained the cemetary and the the garden district in detail. We had a great 3 hour experience (Posted on 4/26/2012)

***** Great intro to NOLA. Loved that we stopped and got out at the cemetery and were given the history. The 9th ward and the rebuilding was important to see as well. My 15 year old daughter and her friend loved the Garden District and the info on the movie stars. NOLA Tours was very accommodating and picked us up at our hotel last as we were just getting into town. Absolutely hassle free, comfortable bus and the perfect thing to do when you arrive in town. Oh we took the 3 hour city tour. (Posted on 4/2/2012)

I took this tour to see the New Orleans area and it was very complete. Tour driver was a native of the area and was very experienced and knew where to go and what to show us. Tour driver was friendly, answered all our questions and we saw a great deal of New Orleans. The driver also gave us suggestions about good and reasonable restaurants and other things to do in the New Orleans area. When we return to New Orleans we plan to take another one of these tours, since we feel we really got our money's worth. (Posted on 2/21/2012)

NOLA Tour Center provided us with the best tour operator/guide we could have asked for! She was a native with endless knowledge and details about the city and sights and knew how to keep us interested. Her tour was fascinating, I learned a lot and the time was gone before I knew it. The bus was very comfortable and clean and she even dropped us at our car instead of our pick up site. Would recommend NOLA Tour Center to anyone, they know their business and their prices are very fair. (Posted on 2/20/2012)
