City Sightseeing: New Orleans Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

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.

There were so many spots that we wanted to hit while we were visiting that we knew we wouldn't have time for so we actually bought hop on/hop off tickets our last day in town so we could try to see as much as we could. Also, I was traveling with my 74 year old mother so we thought this was a good way to get around. It worked out perfectly and our guides Linda and Mary were both excellent. Both NOLA natives and full of interesting knowledge. I would even recommend a 2 or 3 day pass as it made it so easy to get around to all the popular spots in the city. Will definitely do that next time.

Awesome tour! We LOVED both tour guides Logan & No Line Linda. Super knowledgeable 💕

We most enjoyed the ride and our host. We learned a lot about the history of the city in a fun way.

Tour guide was amazing. We wish the tour ran later.

comfort, knowledge of guides especially Ron and Zelda

The tour guide made th we trip fun. We learned a lot about New Orleans. Very friendly!!

I loved learning about the history of New Orleans. Our guides were fantastic. I was on the bus when the winds blew off our canopy. Not to worry though, crew kept everyone safe. Who knows the difference between a balcony and a gallery? I do!!!

Friendly and helpful staff. The ease of sight seeing without the hassle of driving and parking. It was a great experience.

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.

I enjoyed the tour guides answering questions that they received. I have done these tours in many cities across several countries. Some tours have prerecorded tours that I do not enjoy. The ticketing was simple and hassle free.

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.

Each guide was a very entertaining and informative storyteller. Learned so many fun facts about New Orleans that showed the citiries true personality. Got lots of good recommendations. Stops were convenient and easy to find

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.

The layout of the Map is nearly perfect. A Second, further out, Tour would cover the entirety of this Historic city. I cannot recommend this Tour enough; especially with Ellen's informative narrative.

I could not locate the barcode on my head out receipt. It kept wanting me to download the readout app. I downloaded the app but it would not open. The hop on hop off worker saw my confirmation and let us on the bus with that. We loved the tour.

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