The lady that greeted us at bus stop #6 was the sweetest lady. Keep her!!!! The day was a beautiful day to take the tour. We will definitely do this again.

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!

The bus tour was a great way to see some significant areas of New Orleans. The first bus I was on had a problem, so everyone was transferred to another, much more crowded bus. While the announcer was entertaining, it wasn't always clear which building he was talking about as the bus rushed past.

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.
