Thank you for your rating and thank you for touring with City Sightseeing New Orleans!

Hop on hop off bus

We were so happy to have this access so that we can ride around, then listen to the tour guide and then we can get off and explore but also back on to our hotel. Everyone will benefit from some part of it. The weather was cold but the staff rolls with the changes and has things in place for weather issues, we had the best time. When we go back for us or family, this will be a must.

Awesome! Thanks for this excellent review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your Hop-On Hop-Off tour!

Convenient way to discover NOLA

The tour was a great ways to see the city.  The guides were knowledgeable and a lot of fun.  We enjoyed our time in New Orleans and the bus tour contributed to that!

Awesome!  We're so glad that we were able to be a part of your enjoyable trip to NOLA.  We hope to welcome you back to our lovely city soon!

Really Good Time

The bus tour was great. The drivers and the narrators were friendly and humorous. It was a great learning experience.

We're glad you enjoyed your tour experience in New Orleans. Thank you for sharing your feedback, we really value all of your kind words!

Double Decker Hop on Hop off T

I've been on many Hop on Hop off tours and find they give a good overview. This had too narrow an area. The whole loop was barely out of walking distance from our hotel.  I know because I walked almost everywhere they went. A few stops listed only shopping as the attractions. They would have more interesting stops if they went a little further.  The City Park with its sculpture garden, botanic garden, and art museum was only about 3 miles away, but it was not a stop.
    In addition, the guides didn't talk about attractions at each stop, which was unusual. We passed right by museums without a mention. We also passed one of the few Banksy murals in situ without a mention.

Hi Abbe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We typically receive high marks from our guests for our tours, but we are sorry you were disappointed. Please know that your comments have been shared with management.  Otherwise, we hope you enjoyed your time in New Orleans.

Disappointing

New Orleans Hop-On Hop Off.
Chris was the tour guide. He is great! Very Funny! And, very knowledgeable. He is the reason my husband and I will be back for another visit. So much to see and do. Thank you.

Fantastic!! So glad you enjoyed your tour.  Thanks for the kind words

Hop On-Hop Off Tour

Had a really good time.Very polite and knowledgeable staff.Definitely worth it.Best way to see the city.

Thank you for taking our City Sightseeing New Orleans  Hop-On Hop-Off double-decker bus tour! We are glad you had a great experience and we appreciate your wonderful review.

We bought the 2 day pass and very glad we did. The stops are clearly labled on the street so there is no confusion as to where to stand, there is also an app that you can download and see what time the next bus is coming to a specific spot. The first day we got The French Quarter tour with Allan who was great and very patient with my family (ranged in ages from 6 to 65 so not the quickest to keep up). He explained tons of the French Quarter in that hour. We did hop off and on at different spots that were highlighted on the route. The second day it was pouring rain and it was great to be able to ride the bus again as walking wasn't really the best option. Even though we had done the whole tour the day prior, because it was a different tour guide we learned different things. I wasn't able to do the walking tour of the Garden district because of the rain. Overall we enjoyed the tour very much, the only thing I would bring up would be that on Stop 4 it shows The Tomb of the Unknown Slave and St. Augustine's Church but when we walked there we found out that it had been closed to the public after Hurricane Ida and was not the safest area to be walking around lost. From there we walked to stop 5 which was past Armstrong Park which was beautiful but left very quickly when we several inappropriate situations began to rise next to us. It would have been very helpful to be told by the tour guide that we would not be able to go into the church and there was nothing much to see in that area but by all means it's not the guides fault of all the things we witnessed. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see New Orleans beyond The French Quarter.

We are so glad you enjoyed our tour! Thank you for choosing Hop-On Hop-Off and taking the time to share your rating and review! We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Allan.

Best way to see New Orleans

I liked Jeffery who explained everything to me and made it easy.  I liked Linda the tour guide who made things fun.  The tour showed me the area and I was able to use the bus to get around.

We are so glad you enjoyed your tour experience and appreciate your feedback about our staff. Team members like Jeffery and Linda work hard to ensure great tour experiences happen every day. We will be sure to share your kind words. Thank you for choosing Hop-On Hop-Off New Orleans!
