Good short day tour. Lots to see, lots of history. Wished we stayed at St. Louis #3 longer. Worth the money, thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

We took this tour the day we arrived, to get a feel for New Orleans. Our guide Katherine was excellent, keeping up her very informative chatter throughout the trip. The bus took us to areas we wouldn’t have made it to on our short trip and it was really interesting. Driver Stacey was also great. Definitely recommend if you’d like to see more of NOLA and learn about its history.
