I just flew to New Orleans last night and took the CityTour with this company today. It actually went beyond my expectations and the tour guide was absolutely amazing. He was informative, professional, fun to listen to, and just made it in all around great experience! I booked this tour through my hotel and even though it wasn't a hop on and hop off experience, just all of the information that was given so far surpassed the other tours I've ever taken! It was a blast! He did stop at one of the cemeteries and gave very knowledgeable history of the cemetery and we were allowed to take pictures and videos for about 10 minutes before getting back on the bus. We also went to city Park and got off there for about half an hour to stroll around or grab a yummy delicious Beignet at Café Du monde! All around, an excellent experience! I highly recommend !! The whole tour took a couple hours and we went all over New Orleans! So much fun!

The tour itself was interesting and I learned a lot as well as gained a cultural perspective of the city which I think was great. The tour guide Howie however was completely rude. If anyone spoke he was quick to reprimand them in ways that included making faces at an older gentleman through the mirror infront of everyone and snapping at him as of the man had been talking the entire 2 hours, which he hadn't. Honestly we paid a lot of money to have to sit in our seats and snapped at by a rude driver. He even went as far as to make a comment to the entire bus about part of our group stiffing him on a tip when one of our members at the front tipped him (hard not to recognize we were all together as we have matching shirts). Thus comment may have been made to a couple behind us but was still extremely unprofessional, rude, and uncalled for!

I went on a city tour and Our tour guide, Howie was a smarta*s! He doesn’t know how to treat the customers. Right before he checked in, he specifically made it a point to say to everyone is not in an assigned seat. That being said after I checked in and climbed back in the bus, I noticed a lady where I was sitting and I didn’t mind but I wanted a window seat so I sat somewhere else and Howie looked at me and said I can’t sit there, that a group of 4 is coming back. I’m very unhappy with how he treated me and how he talked to us, every time any of us had a question he always a quick smarta*s answer. He was very unprofessional and I highly DONT recommend!!! Which really sucks because Sean C. Was incredible!! He was the one that took the time to make sure we got the tour that works best for us. Sean deserves a raise!!

If I could have given a negative 5 stars I would. We went to the office Mike gave my mother in-law a brochure and told us to book online. We did and waited outside our hotel for an hour and they didn’t show up. We walked to the office and the lady told us that the tour had left but we needed an additional reservation to what we booked online. There was absolutely no instructions, email, or communication. We paid over $300 and they refuse to refund the money. She told us we could book another tour for the afternoon but would have to pay an additional $300. They are a complete scam and ripped us off. Do not give this company your credit card information!

I took a fantastic tour of New Orleans yesterday & it was great Tour driver was super nice, knowledgeable and seemed to love his job and his city. I think his name was Warren, excellent history of the city I especially enjoyed his cemetery tour It was full of fun facts, esp how much the black culture was affected by history & Katrina I would give him 10 stars if I could Also, Mike Spinato took good care of setting it all up for me One little note: please remind people that they have high prices to pay for parking to get to the tours But all in all, I had a great time & fell in love with New Orleans, maybe to LIVE, NOT DIE THERE LOL

Our actual Tour guide Howie was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour - in that sense we would highly recommend (6 stars). I would give 4.5 stars for the fact that on the website it promotes hotel pickup but if you purchase through Groupon you don’t get that (and are told quite frankly by booking that this is the case) I also emailed to ask for a confirm on the booking and the address to go to and never got a reply. But in terms of the bus and the content and quality of the tour, this made up for my initial reservations. If you get the tour we got, you’ll be glad you did it.

Tour and guide was great! The guide was knowledgable and engaging. As we were going along, he would tell us that during Katrina how high the water had gotten in a specific area. He added his own personal touches and knowledge that you only get from a local. However, the A/C on the bus was not working and it was the afternoon tour. My husband and I were sweating and miserable the whole tour which had nothing to do with the driver and how knowledgable he was-thankfully we started early and didn’t hit any traffic or it would have been even more brutally hot inside the bus!

We purchased the 4-ticket Groupon deal and headed straight to our bus tour from the airport. The bus was clean, comfortable and a/c worked great. Howie, our driver-tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He was packed with historical facts and interesting anecdotes. Our family loved the tour and were glad it was the first thing we did upon arriving at NOLA. The bus allowed for a very manageable size group which made you feel free to ask questions and get more interaction with other participants. Great experience!!

Our tours of the Laura & Oak Alley Plantations was outstanding. Our guide and driver was Miss Dywanna. Not only was she personable, friendly and welcoming, her knowledge of New Orleans and the surrounding areas made our drive much more enjoyable. Additionally, I’d like to commend Valerie (414 Canel), for her assistance in booking our tours. I’d ask they be recognized in some fashion for their work. I would definitely recommend you booked any tours with them. You will not be disappointed.

This is worth the money if you don’t want a walking tour and want a shuttle bus instead. We traveled throughout the city and saw many things even I had never seen living just an hour’s drive away! We stopped in City Park and had a break at Morning Call. I used the extra time to run through the Sculpture Garden. We saw homes of celebrities, colleges, art, and almost anything you would want to know about along this historical ride. Definitely recommend-rainy day fun!!!

I would highly recommend the bus tour through New Orleans City Tours & Adventures! Howie was an awesome guide who was very knowledgeable about New Orleans and its history. His life experiences added to his teaching and brought forth true emotions especially as he spoke about being a first responder during Hurricane Katrina. Howie was also very funny and he kept the tour exciting. Please go on this tour if you're in New Orleans. You won't regret it!!

We went on the city tour with Howie. Howie was so knowledgeable and showed us so many places and told us so many stories, and gave us so much information about their wonderful city. . It was such a great time. Highly recommend the tour with him. Definitely a must do. William in the office was awesome also. He was so friendly and so helpful. All around great experience . Thank you Howie and William! Jeanne and Lisa from Connecticut!

We did the tour with the city pass it was a wonderful tour Chris was our driver he was funny and helpful. He shared great stories and had such a great knowledge of history as well as current information. The stop at the park was unexpected yet a great surprise. We got see so much of the city in a short period of time. Chris also gave us a gift at the end that was apart of the history. I highly recommend this tour.

Overall, it was an enjoyable and educational ride on the bus. The man giving us the tour was very knowledgeable and very polite and very funny. I was slightly disappointed that we only got to spend about 10 minutes in Cemetery number two when I thought it would be at least a half an hour or so. Otherwise enjoyable ride in a bus with AC riding around New Orleans getting to take in the sights and sounds.

I bought the New Orleans pass online. I liked that I could activate it at anytime then the consecutive days count day began. It took me forever to find the location to actually activate the pass since I was not familiar with the area..all around great savings. I'd definitely say spend a day or two going over what you wanna do, so you really get to enjoy the boat tours which happen earlier in the day.

I surprised my husband with a trip to New Orleans for his 40th birthday. We spent the afternoon with Howie on the bus tour and we had a blast! Howie was super knowledgeable and hilarious. We loved seeing so much of the city and learning about history, fun “only in New Orleans...” facts, visiting landmarks, and soaking in the stories of Katrina. It was a great way to spend a birthday! Thanks Howie!!

Great tour of the whole city. Howie was very knowledgeable. Went through St Louis cemetery 3 and city park where we got to get off the bus for a while. Drove down st charles ave and through the french quarter. Great place to get a quick tour of the city. Just wish we could have spent more time at city park since it is huge. Only spent about 10 min before you had to get back on the bus.

This tour was recommended by our hotel and did not disappoint. Howie, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city, a long with being highly entertaining. Additionally, as a first responder to Katrina, he offered us many insights and a personal perspective of the disaster. It was a great way to spend the morning, thank you for an excellent tour!

We bought tickets for a bus tour of New Orleans and we were delighted with the price and the tour itself. The driver was very friendly and informative and we stopped off at an old cemetery to walk around. We learned about the levees and river and the old landmarks and also drove by some celebrities houses. We really enjoyed the tour and I recommend it.

3/5/2023 We ended up here on the Adventures in New Orleans bus tour and found out some more very interesting information about how the deceased is treated in New Orleans and why they are buried above ground and the practices that come behind it. Chris was a great tour ground that knows a massive amount of knowledge about New Orleans

Took the New Orleans city bus tour. Had an awesome guide who talked about the best food and music places. I can't remember his name, but I remember one line he said about a restaurant: "it's a 5 out of ten, except the oysters, but oysters are great anywhere." I've done a few city bus tours and this was the hands-down best!!

Really enjoyed doing this first because then we could decide what other things we wanted to do or visit based off of the tour. Herman was very knowledgeable and did a great job! Be sure and use a Groupon and don't drive there as parking is expensive. Their check in spot is a very small kiosk building, so don't miss it.

We did the city tour and had a great time. Our guide was ver knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. He pointed out some restaurants, two of which we’ve tried. Both had delicious food. Also, you your sights outside of the French quarter which made us quickly realize there was so much more to New Orleans.

I wish the tour could have lasted all day. Our guide, Howie, was lively and knowledgeable. He presented with just enough comedy and charm to keep us smiling while perfectly mixing in fun facts and history. Afterwards, I wanted to revisit each spot and learn more. If you have the time, go check them out!

Awesome! Our tour guide Howie was native to New Orleans and knew details about the city that brought flavor and fun. He worked as a first responder after Katrina and shared details of that experience with us. I'd recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more and experience New Orleans firsthand.

We had a great time I seen a lot of people complaining about the time. But if you look on the brochure it tells you to be there at a certain time but it doesn't start for 30 minutes after that time. Get a coffee and relax people ur on vacation. Had a great time the tour guide was hilarious!

Information & humor-packed overview tour courtesy of Howie, our guide. He is knowledgeable & entertaining & I learned so much in a short time! He was a 1st responder post-Katrina & really conveyed the enormous sense of loss & overwhelming task of cleanup/rebuilding. Highly recommend him!

My wife and I took a bus tour as part of a Go City pass. The tour was great. We learned a lot and got to really see New Orleans. The tour covered a lot of ground. The bus was comfortable and well climate controlled. If trying to decide which tour of New Orleans to go on choose this one!

Sean was AWESOME! 414 Canal Street at the tourist shop. I walked in and wanted a tour and he helped me asap to get what I needed. He also gave me directions to different places and things to do. Go see him! Thank you again for making my day and guiding me to where I need to go!

What an awesome experience to learn about New Orleans. The driver we had was fantastic and even dropped us off where we wanted. We were able to see everything in about 3 hours. We got to drive through various parts of New Orleans and the commentary was fun. Highly recommended.

Awesome tour, the tour guide had so much to share/show and there wasn't a moment of dead air! My wife and I got to see New Orleans through the eyes of someone who truly loves it, and it made my visit that much more enjoyable because of it. Can't suggest it enough!

This was an amazing tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. The bus driver, Keisha, greeted us as soon as we arrived and told us the best place to sit on the bus to get a great view. You’ll learn the history, but also get great customer service.

We toured with Howie this passed Sunday! He was so funny and incredibly knowledgable! One of the best tours I have ever been on. We saw all the hot spots and had every question answered! "Isn't that something?" Yeah you right Howie, yeah you right!

This place had a good choice of tours around New Orleans, however if you choose to rent a car and travel on your own and not use their shuttle service then they will be rude and not helpfull. They also told us that some tours where in a bad

The tour was sooo disappointing. Our guide was in her own world rambling on while half of our bus was either asleep or annoyed. Monotonous and repetitive. She kept talking about the levees and pointing out shotgun houses. She would talk

Let someone else drive and just soak it all in. Our tour guide Richard was a retired teacher and a wealth of information about the area. The tour both educated and entertained (a lot!). We're so glad we sat back and enjoyed such a great

My fiance' and I bought tickets for the City Bus Tour. Our tour guy was super funny and kept us entertained, but was also very knowledgeable of the city and we learned a lot! If you're looking for a little bit of the African-American

I am pretty glad that I didn't read the reviews before making the decision to take the tour. It was recommended by our hotel concierge when we originally asked about the hop-on hop-off tour. We were picked up from Homewood Suites on

Best city tour we have ever been on. Howie, our tour guide was amazing! The history in New Orleans is so rich and beautiful. Also a great way to see the whole City and determine where you want to spend your time.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour today with Howie. Very knowledge & funny! We admittedly feel like jerks because we got off the bus and both realized neither of us gave him a tip before it was too late.

We were on Amtrak's vacation tour with 2 day power pass and the only FREE tour we got was the 3 hr city tour - all other tours required additional money OR were not included in Power Pass provided by Amtrak.

The City Tour was fantastic! The bus driver was very knowledgeable and very popular at all our stops. Received a great education about New Orleans and saw every neighborhood. Wonderful!!!

Howie our guide was absolutely wonderful. He was informative, entertaining and funny. This tour was the highlight of our visit to New Orleans. If your going to visit NOLA take this tour.

The history of these stones and bag of bones was epic. Our tour guide made this visit much more interesting than just saying I visited a historical cemetery. This place is a must visit.

We have done this tour twice both times with Howie and both times loved it. He is so knowledgeable and captivating. We enjoyed it immensely and will be returning if we are back in nola

Awesome to our best thing to do to get to know the city and where you want to go. Only way you can really see the city quickly

This tour was great. The guides are enthusiastic and love the city so they have so much to say about it. Recommend to anyone.

Took the 10AM tour. Fabulous!!!! The driver was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and, in

The New Orleans tour hosted by Howie was both entertaining, and informative. Highly recommended!

Amazing guy who helped my friends set up a tour. Amazing company!
