    Great tour guide. Our pick up location was incorrect but they fixed it quickly. Nice drive. Good stops. It was a beautiful day so that helps. Three hours was the perfect length of time. Drop off was very flexible which helped get us to our next destination.

    New Orleans city tour was excellent. I recommend anyone coming to the city to take it to get the background if the city's history. I find the city in current times is pre Katrina and post Katrina which opens one's eyes. We even had a local citizen on the tour who said she learned so much about her home. You will get a bonus if David is your tour driver. He is a gem!!!

    It was a great overview of the city. The bus was comfortable and it was interesting to understand the various parts of the city and why and how things were designed. The only negative was that the pickup time on the app was earlier than the pickup time scheduled by the tour company. That was confusing
