This tour was ok. I think we were expecting to get a better layout of the city so we knew where to go and maybe some recommendations of places to see. It was fairly informative though just not what we were expecting.

It was the worest city tour I've taken. The tour guide was terrible. New Orlean is such a fun city with a long an interesting history but our guide discussed little to no history. He lacked a sense of humor. Our group of 4 was truly dissapointed. It was a waste of money.

The tour was great and very informative. The only complaint was that the e-mail wasn't clear in where we had to go to get the tour. Our hotel told us where to go.

Excellent driver and narrator...he was a careful driver and very knowledgeable. Worth the fee and helped us to know more about the past and recent history of one of the South's most colorful cities.

Both fun and informative, it was a great tour to fit into a short stay in New Orleans.

My husband and I were very pleased with our Super City tour. We took the bus trip on our first day in New Orleansand were given a fabulous overview of the whole city along with fantastic historical references. I would recommend this as the BEST way to begin a holiday in New Orleans.

Review by: Joyce H	September 2011
Excellent overview of the city. Coach was very clean and comfortable. Driver/Guide was both entertaining and effective. The cost was reasonable.

Review by: Sally S	August 2011
This was a good tour but not the best. Our guide had knowledge but this felt more like a standard tour than anything else.

Review by: Eric W	July 2011
Boring! We only got out for one stop. And then we just rode around in a bus ony seeing the sights on our side of the bus.

Review by: Leroy B	July 2011
This was the first time my wife and I visited New Orleans. We spent four days there celebrating our 25th wedding aniversery. We stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn at the Convention Center and had a great time. We enjoyed our four day stay tremendously. The only down side was that everything is sooooooo expensive!!! We would like to come back some day, but not sure if we can afford it. Overall, a great city with a lot to offer - we will definitely recommend this trip to friends and family.

Review by: Andreas H	July 2011
Not a good tour, only 1 stop at a cemetery, busdriver thought he was funny, but half of the people on the bus did not understand what he was talking about and he was not funny at all. Little history while driving because no professional narration or gps narration, just the stories from the bus driver.

Review by: Sue N	June 2011
Trip was informative, bus comfortable is a good tour to take for first time visitors to city to highlight main attractions. Tour guide was knowledgeable and answered questions

Review by: Linda E	June 2011
I have been to New Orleans many times. I wanted to see parts of the city I had not ventured in before. This tour fit the bill.

Review by: Carmel B	June 2011
Enjoyed the city sights tour. Very informative. I would have liked a little more time to stroll through some of the cemeteries but the tour time was limited.

Review by: Syreeta M	May 2011
Only got off the bus one time, tour guide talked non-stop

Review by: Kerri U	May 2011
Our driver/tourguide was a wealth of information. No word of a lie he did not stop talking the entire tour. But what he had to say was very interesting. The couple of stops we made could have been a bit longer to look around more but a 3 hour tour is getting close to too long anyway. Could have been because we started late (we were waiting for passengers, there was some confusion at the ticket booth) but the tour guide did not cut the tour short. I appreciated that. We got our moneys worth and more.

Great tour to do on the first day. Very informative. Enjoyed it very much.

Review by: Duane E L	May 2011
The tour was excellent and so informative. We say area of New Orleans that we would have not seen any other way in the shout time we were in town. The tour guide was so knowlegeable and because she grew up in New Orleans, could give us an historical perspective that could only be obtained from a local. It was a wonderful tour.

The driver was very courteous and knowledgeable- the bus was comfortable and made the tour enjoyable.

Review by: MARYANN C	May 2011
Loved the tour! Having never been to New Orleans, this was the way to learn all about the city in a brief period of time. Had I done nothing else, this tour would have provided me with everything I needed to know about this very interesting, lovely, historic city. Thank you for a great tour!

Review by: Maureen R, United States of America	June 2010
Very comfortable tour bus. Tour guide was informative and funny. I would recommend this tour in the beginning of your visit.

Review by: Robert G, Australia	June 2010
Gave a good overall view on the city and part of the surburbs.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	May 2010
This was a Gray Lines tour and I would highly recommend it. It takes you out beyond the French Quarter through the 7th and 9th wards and up to Lake Pontchartrain. The bus driver gives an audio tour as you go through the different areas. There is a quick stop at a cemetery also so you have a chance to see that. If you have some time definitely give this tour a try.

Review by: Kori W, United States of America	April 2010
We traveled with two young kids and it was a blast. It was nice to see deeper into the city and have someone who knows what they are talking about tell you about New Orleans. I would recommend any of the tours and would not have changed a thing.

Great

First time in New Orleans, Very informative

Review by: Tammie & John F, United States of America	March 2010
We had a great time on this tour. Not too much walking just around the cemetery, very good time wise. Just a nice little informational relaxing tour. Even our 6 month old son loved it because the motion of the bus helped him take a nap.

Review by: Lance M, United States of America	March 2010
Our tour guide was great. He was full of facts and fun.

Review by: Steve H, United States of America	March 2010
Guide did a very good job. We took this tour on our first day and it gave us a nice overview of the city.

You get to know the city and figure out where else you want to go!!!

Review by: Herbert P, United States of America	November 2009
Very informative. Tour guide was great and knowledgeable. There is way more to NOLA than Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	November 2009
For the price it was very good, especially if done as soon as you arrive in order to become aquainted with the town. I do wish it would not have been such a big bus but since you don't get off that often it was a good way to learn history and sight see.

Review by: Duncan J, United States of America	December 2008
We enjoyed the stay. The facilities were very nice. The staff was always helpful and courteous. The location of the facility was an ideal place. You could get anywhere in New Orleans from the front door of the resort using the street car.

Review by: Ludmila H, United States of America	June 2008
Very informative and a good start to explore the city.

Review by: Tim A, United Kingdom	April 2008
Do the trip when you arrive. Gives you ideas for the week. Well worthwhile.

Review by: Jerrie A, United States of America	December 2007
This tour was worth every minute and every dollar. My husband, mother, father and I went on the tour. My mother and father and I lived in New Orleans for a number of years many years ago. My father still has a sister there. My parents had not been to New Orleans in about 11 years and we had came down to see my aunt who had just gone to a nursing home. We flew down and didn't have a car so my parents really wanted to see some the of areas they loved so much and that is just want this tour showed them. The guide was great.

Review by: MP L, United States of America	September 2007
What a humbling experience to see what the people of New Orleans had to deal with and how they are fighting to come back bigger and better.
