Booked this tour after we were let down by Viator for a booking on the Steamboat Natchez. I'm so very glad we did. Our guide, Butch, was amazing! His local knowledge, wit and care were second to none. Have been on a lot of bus tours in a lot of countries but this was hands down the best!
We had an awesome time during the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, courteous, and very professional. He shared a lot of history and understanding of the beautiful city of New Orleans. Thanks!!!!
I did the city and cemetery tour with Derek and it was fantastic! Derek had a lot of great information and pointed the interesting points out. Definitely a great tour for your first trip or to learn about the history in the area!!!.
One of the best tours we have ever been on. History of New Orleans was explained in detail. Loved seeing the various districts and especially the cemetery. Our tour guide, Butch, has a vast knowledge of local history. Answered everyone’s questions. So much more to NOLA than just the French Quarter.
Guys, this is a must not miss! We took two tours, the swamp tour and the city and cemetery. On the swamp tour we saw so much wildlife and our Captain, Tim, was so knowledgeable and friendly. On the city and cemetery tour, our guide Karen took us all around the city and taught us so much about the history of New Orleans. We got to go into a cemetery and even visited a distillery. Definitely check it out!
Took the City/Cemetary tour with Derek as our driver/guide. Really enjoyed getting a perspective of the city outside of the French Quarter. Derek was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the city. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in this tour.
Derek was AWESOME!! As a native, he was able to give our group a true perspective of the French Quarter, Mid-City, cemeteries,and the surrounding areas, full of historical facts peppered with good humor and personal anecdotes. 10/10 would recommend Derek to anyone!
