Easy to get tickets online. Difficult to get to a Hop On station from cruise ship in New Orleans. Weather was the pits, bus trip was fine.

an excellent experience, we toured the sites of interest and the guide's directions were great, we could get off and on at the stops we wanted, take all the pictures and give us a very complete varnish of the city to then go deeper into the sites that interested us.

Downloaded both headhout and bus tracking apps. These were convenient and easy to use. I loved the full loop first thing in the morning- great overview of NOLA and then I explored the rest of the day. The bus was easy to get to and I enjoyed hearing other tour guide's interpretations. Two thumbs up!

Ticketing was fine. Some guides seemed to know much more, or at least shared more than others. Route and stops were mostly great. One thing: There should be better coordination between Mardi Grass World and you. I understand you are separate businesses; but I walk with a cane and Hop-Off at a hotel where Mardi Gras World picks up and drops off would be a better plan. Also a little unclear how to get onto bus to begin with. A little more reach out to Garden District hotels would make things a little clearer. I stayed at Grenoble House, Rue Dauphine (fabulous!), but they knew nothing about you.

Ellen was very friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Asia was a great driver in the crazy traffic . I was very impressed with her skills.

Linda was an exceptional guide on the New Orleans Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. Being a native, she was incredibly knowledgeable and witty, making each of the 19 stops interesting with great insights on different places to visit. She truly knew her stuff. However, after the break, our guide switched to either Sam or Mike, who read from a phone and lacked the same engaging delivery. He could benefit from sitting with Linda or receiving more training to improve his presentation. It was super easy to book online and find stops (look for the red signs). Side note: I would recommend incorporating stop location details into the booking process, as we had to search for them after purchasing the tickets.

The guides on the route. We had 3 different ones. Got some of the same stories, but some had different info. It was great. Wish I had more time this trip.
