Adventures In New Orleans Tours

I am not sure about the few bad reviews, because I had a great experience. This was my first time in New Orleans and wanted to take in as much as I could. With SO many tours I could not decide who to go to. I was walking by and decided to stop here, Mike was at the window.(This guy is a hoot and made me laugh, he recites every tour description the same animated way to everyone and likes when people pay attention and eyes on him.lol.I loved the dude.
They offer any tour you can think of here.
Swamp tours, city tours, plantation tours, haunted ghost tours, boat tours, etc.
I did the City Tour yesterday with Howie the tour guide. He is TOTALLY awesome, friendly & funny. He is from here so knows SO many facts and tidbits. He was even a first responder for Katrina. He has an answer for everything you could wonder about this amazing city full of culture and tradition.
What I liked about the city tour was that it was on a smaller air conditioned bus (about 20 people) that makes it more intimate and in my opinion, much better than the other big ones.
We went to Hurricane Katrina site, Lake, New orleans sculpture garden, botanical gardens, museum of art, cemetaries, universities, Saint Charles st. the cathedral, city park, french quarter, bourbon street, celeb homes and much more. There is a stop at City Park where you can eat.
It was $ 46 and totally worth it.
Today I will be doing the swamp tour and am looking forward to it.

Waste of money!!! If you want to save money do not pay for this tour! Driver is rude and owner is rude and unprofessional!!!

Anything you need to know about wandering around New Orleans, this is your stop. I got the power pass which comes with selected things to do in New Orleans. I bought the pass online so you have to come here to pick it up. They book the the New Orleans City Tour by Bus and Swamp Tours here for you. For the City Tour you meet here and it’s a private bus which lasts for about 3 hours.
I really enjoyed this attraction a lot because it takes you around the city and ventures off to places away from the touristy stuff. I loved when we went to the neighborhoods that were affected by hurricane Katrina.
Thumbs up for the service and the tour.

Time has changed. Did this tour today and it was brilliant. Our tour guide was a retired teacher who has lived in the area his whole life. He had a lot of knowledge of the city and many great stories to tell. He also had some other great restaurant and site seeing tips. On the tour you see many districts of New Orleans including areas being rebuilt after hurricane Katrina, the garden district, french quarter, sculpture gardens and one of the many cemeteries. I thoroughly recommend this tour. It goes for 3 hours including a 20 – 30 minute refreshment stop. Its great to sit on a nice cool air conditioned bus rather than walk around in the humidity at this time of year.

Horrible experience! My group was approached by one of the sales people in front of their offices and sold us the Katrina City Tour for 1:00pm. We paid our deposit and rushed to eat lunch. Around quarter to 1:00 we get a call rescheduling the tour between 2:00 and 2:30pm throwing our schedule off. We waited and when 2:30 came the bus was still no where to be seen. Not wanting to waste anymore of our time we asked for our deposit back. We were told no refunds are given and to wait a bit longer. The sales people were down right rude and crude cursing and yelling at us. Our deposit was never refunded and we left once we felt unsafe.
Do Not Give These People Your Money!

I’m torn here — because the sites visited on the tour were exceptional — I think I saw exactly what visitors should see when they visit NOLA. However, the tour guide, while well-​intentioned and very knowledgeable, pretty much drove me to the brink of madness by the time the tour was over. I’ll sum it up by saying she made a three hour tour into a 4+ hour road trip, her constant side conversations created mass confusion among the sightseers, and her apparent preference for sauna-​like temperatures created an enclosed, wet blanket of hell for 20 smelly people.
Now, I think you can see why I was annoyed.
Let me just say again though, we had a chance to see an array of sites throughout the city — including the French Quarter, the Ninth Ward and Lower Ninth Ward (Katrina affected areas and the rebuilding going on since), the University District, one of the famed above ground cemeteries and the Garden District (including homes of celebrities like Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Eli/​Peyton Manning’s parents, etc. etc.). The tour guide knew her stuff, so in that regard, she was good to have around. And I got some excellent photo ops out of the 3 (or should I say 4) hour tour, so it wasn’t all bad.
