Our group very much enjoyed being able to hop on and hop off the double-decker bus. Our guides were very knowledgeable and informative! Shout out to Ellen, she was entertaining, easy to hear and understand, and knowledgeable. I did not give five stars because the app that we were told to use was not user-friendly. It would be great to be able to see in real time where the buses are on the route. We also were frustrated because we were told buses arrive every 25 to 35 minutes however we waited over an hour for the bus to arrive at a stop and 45 minutes at another stop

We appreciated learning about the history of the various places. It was nice being able to get off the bus at different stops to explore and then proceed onward to other stops. As we are older, we knew we wouldn't have time to explore at each stop. This service allowed us to choose what we were most interested in exploring further. Really liked the seats up top! A pleasant way to explore New Orleans.

The route and stops are very good, support staff at the stops were great. The only issue was the guides. One of then spoke too fast for us to understand. Also i wish they would be more informative of the historical sites and less jokes or irrelevant facts. Such as how much drinks he had,One of the male guides even went as far as making a political remark which in my opinion should be kept to people that ask his opinion. There was a great lady guide that we enjoyed her narrative.
